Growing up in Utah and Being a Mormon- no one really ridicules you for you're religion. Because everyone in Utah EVERYONE is Mormon.- So the only thing they'd ridicule you for is not having your scriptures at church last sunday.
When I moved down here to GA, I had heard that Lots of the Southern Baptists Hated Mormons, and it was around the time when all of the Polygamy stuff was going on down in Texas. I mean they teach that we are evil and that they would rather be friends with a Possible terrorist muslim than a mormon.
Well I never really met any of those people before at all. Or if I have, they didn't know that I was mormon.
In Feb. I started at a New Gym. I love everyone there. They are all so friendly and I've made many new friends etc.
After a class one day a few of us were just chattin about church (like fundraisers, and stuff), then they asked me where I went to church and I said "I go to the Mormon church down on draper St".
Literally after I said that, they all got quiet and quickly changed the subject and from then on they don't talk to me very much at all!!! It's really Insane!!! I never knew that, that would happen to me!!!
I mean the way that it happend was sooo small. I didn't Jump on the Tables and Claim that they were all Sinners!!! just-" I'm Mormon", made them uncomfortable enough for them to not want to talk to me anymore.... It's just sooo odd.
I continue to just keep being super duper nice, but getting a glimpse of that "hatred" was really weird.
It opened my eyes a bit. I just feel sad for those people. Not liking someone because of their religion.
