What if a BSB went to the temple?

If it's just for money, then why would people want to believe it? ???

Well I think a lot of the hatred of the LDS faith is slowly going away, especially in the parts of the world where it is more common, but there are some religions that still really don't like us.
I personally had mostly good experiences with people of all different faiths, and all of my friends used to tease me all in good fun, but I have also had my fair share of persecution for it too. I will always stand up for what I believe and will happily answer any questions people ask me, but like I said there have been a few really awful experiences in my life all with people of a couple religions that make me feel intimidated sometimes. Brian's religion happens to be one of those. *shrug*
I like to believe that not every Baptist thinks we are a cult and that we are horrible people who are going to hell simply for being mormon, but that has been the response I've gotten from every Baptist I've ever met.
And when I met Brian in person while he was nice, he was also very self righteous and seemed extremely judgmental. I was actually very disappointed in him when I met him, much to my dismay, because he's always been my favorite. So I'd love to be able to say that I don't think he would act like the other's of his faith that I've met in the past, but *shrug*
oh well, I just don't worry about it and love the music. :)

I don't think I've ever really read anything about LDS ever, but this thread is giving me a nice little intro to it.
I'm actually Muslim, which, like LDS seems to be, is extremely misunderstood for the most part. Most people, when they hear "Islam" or "Muslim" tend to think terrorist or something so completely foreign and crazy and are immediately against it. To be honest, though, if people would just look it up, they'd see that Islam is pretty much the same exact religion as Judaism and Christianity--the major difference between the two is the question of the divinity of Christ. My best friend, who is Catholic, and I have great conversations about how all the stories about the prophets are the same in the two religions, right down to the names and everything (except for the whole Original Sin thing). But yeah...
I love reading and learning about all sorts of religions and the different sects that exist. The aforementioned best friend was actually Protestant until she hit college. She's been working on the conversion to Catholicism, though, so I've learned lots from her about that.

Well, yes, I suppose that would have something to do with it. :D
I worship Ra. Just incase anyone cared. ;)
