What if a BSB went to the temple?

To be honest, Scientology just weirds me out. Especially the parts about Xenu and L. Ron Hubbard being a science fiction writer. But, then, I guess I'm being judgemental... which is bad, right?

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...

That's so true! I'm definitely not an expert on Islam, but I've learned a little bit about it in history classes in college, and from what I do know, it really isn't all that different. Most of the mainstream religions are very similar in a lot of their general beliefs or their teachings about how to live your life. It's just the little differences that separate them, and unfortunately, people of religions who teach you to "love thy neighbor" are the same ones who criticize and judge "neighbors" who believe differently than them. It's hypocritical, and I hate it.
There was this quiz posted on LD not too long ago that you could take to find out what religion you should be practicing, according to your beliefs. It was really interesting! I'll post it here if I can find it again.

I dunno what people YOU've been meeting *is extremely bewildered*, but that sucks that you got that impression from people. Personally, I don't think Mormons are horrible people, I just don't have the same beliefs you do. That doesn't mean you're horrible. And only God knows who's going to heaven and who's going to hell, lol. *shrugs* My 2 cents.
