    Pretty much all organized religion is a scam. Believe in whatever makes you feel good about yourself and keep it your own buisness. Nobody cares or wants to hear what you believe in because there's a good chance it's not the same thing they believe in.

    My husband and I were on a bike ride yesterday and two Mormons rode up alongside us and began preaching. I was pulling my baby in a trailer and told them that I needed to concentrate on our personal safety and they left us alone.

    But then again, I'm Catholic, so I guess I "shouldn't talk much".

    JLC, I was referring to Lee bashing the Mormon religion, not the bike-peddlers. I don't like the door-to-door solicitation they do either. I don't care what religion you are, but just keep it to yourself and all will be well.

    OK I was not going to reply to this, but what the hell, I am not bashing Mormons or any other religion, as I believe all can believe what they want AS LONG AS THEY DON'T HURT PEOPLE or infringe on my rights not to be bombarded with constant solicitation, I can be very out spoken and my wife has banned me from talking about anything controversial around her. :D

    Anyway, very few modern day religions or any for that matter constantly bang on the door like Mormons even as polite as they are. They are accomplishing almost zero in areas such as where we live out here except for people getting irritated. That is not bashing that is a fact.

    We all believe what we believe and don't need the polite harassment. I am NOT pushing anyone to be a catholic or even trying to say a word about what a catholic is around here of course not just like I am not bashing Mormons.

    All I have to say on this thread and I am not going to respond any more to this thread on Religion.

    "I always tell my brothers why don't you all hit the poorer areas more"
    "because they really believe they are the chosen ones and nothing is going to change that"
    "they slant the history of their relgion to their own beliefs and again they are never going to differ from their slant"
    "You got to love some of the other scams"

    re: bug control guys... I'm taking ground school out at JYO and one of my classmates is in the bug control business and he says the industry has alot of low-lifes in it that would do practically anything to sell you services that alot of times you don't need. Said it was alot like the typical used car business. You can pretty much do all of the bug control yourself and save a ton of $$.
