What would be worse=

Xtian Fundies or LDS

If you were stuck on this earth and had to be surrounded by one of these so called " major religions"-which would you choose.

In this there is only two choices.

No Raptor Jesus no Odin or Buddhism.

Xtianity or LDS

Which Kool-Aid would you prefer to be inundated with both culturally and in this suggested "reality."

You couldn't even look out your window without seeing it.

Ultra True Believing Mega Lords heaven on Earth......or Joe Christian's zealous proclamations and Jesus Camps?

You could not even go to get some milk or groceries without being talked to by a member or the church being brought up.

For some a living hell.

At that point, you're screwed no matter what...I don't see it as a choice, really. It's all just twists on the same paranoid mess, these days.

So make a choice.

I'd choose LDS. I know better how to deal with them than Fundie Xtian's.

I'm surrounded by them now and I get along just dandy.

A week with my fundie x-MIL and I would tear my own eyeballs out and plug my ears with them.

If those were my only two choices I think I'd choose death or possibly being a hermit. :)

Honestly? The only two religions on the planet?

Whatever the heck my closest relatives were, and keep my head down. Doesn't matter a darn bit of difference which....possibly fundie because the baptists I knew had a better hymnbook.

imho

Of course I wouldn't want either one, but I'd go fundie christian.

At least then you would be able to move from state to state, and congregation to congregation without seeming like the crazies that moved into the neighborhood wearing magic underwear etc.

Of course once the fundies open their mouths about the earth being six thousand years old, they sound pretty crazy too. But they wouldn't look crazy.

The LDS. They don't get in my face and tell me I'm going to Hell if I don't follow their god. I used to get that constant loud message when I was an LDS chatroom host.

The Mormons can be obnoxiously persistent, but at least they're generally quiet about it. I'd do better with their reverent quiet, as I don't do as well around too much exuberance.

And as jeffnlb pointed out, I'd know how to be around the Mormons, as I was one for 30 years.

Obv Judaism - the only one which is true.

Did you read the post?

but ...what the hell..... I WANNA BE A GOD!! :)

No wonder she has trouble making definitive decisions.

Hypothetical is nothing to get in a bunch about.

Jews and truth...okay but, it has nothing to do with the thread.

Touchy.

If it came down to the choice of Mormons or Fundies I'd choose an equal aliquot of both. They'll both destroy each other proselytizing and I will end up inheriting the earth and I would turn Utah into a clone of Nevada - nice ski resorts, good casinos and cheap booze.

Better?

Your funny and sweet but, that was just another insult to my question.

I am glad you could vent though.

That is part of this however; you do not have a choice in this drama...one or the other.

I give up!

LDS.

You didn't mention degree of adherence. Mormons I know and have known tend to be a mixed bunch so chances are there would be a good few lapsed Jack Mormon types who couldn't care less so would be enjoyable to live and play with.

All fundies I've ever met are very fundie and are usually intolerable in doses bigger than 5 minutes at a time.

Good enough now?

Look I have no idea why this is important but, it is.

Nightingale will probably inform me soon as to why?

I hope.

I tried Nedism once, but I soon fell away. I just couldn't refrain from the toothpicks.

I specifically ask that no one respond with alternate choices and hijack.

Do I need to write it in a language they can understand?

WTF

..we all need a laugh. There is humor in the alternate choices, even if you didn't request them 665.

Or Anon.

Id your name a play on eminant/anon.

Because to me your name means condescending.

Make a choice or go to another thread you can actually participate in.

How will that happen if you kill yourself?

Not that you would make it there for you have been a bad little Raptor.....Say's my close personal and anthropomorphic god -Elohim.

Don't act like you don't catch what I am flyin."

You have to make a choice!

I'll take the Fundies cause they're more fun.

I guess the consensus is that it is better to be stuck around goofy Mormons than goofy Christians? I am not surprised, as the mormon delusion persists it would seem: "This church or no church." Sound familiar?

Seriously, I guess it depends on how you define a fundie. In my neck of the woods a fundie is more rare than snow in Sacramento. If you are defining an orthodox, Bible believing Christian as a fundie I'd say you need to recalibrate your scale.

@Badger John

I'LL TAKE THE MORMONS!

"We are one in Jeeesus, all of us are oooooone." And they will shut up.

Whereas, you can't get a missionary to stop by closing your eyes and singing.

And if that doesn't work, I could speak in tongues or fall to the floor. See? So many more options for women.

Anagrammy

I would live with Mormons over Christian folks any day of the week. People who believe in virgin birth, but constantly attack others who believe in magical underwear annoy the hell out of me and should be put down.
