> I've met Mormons who have asked me where I am from and not only know where that country is but spoke to me in my NATIVE tougue. I was very impressed.

That's because they send missionaries all over the world to convert people to Mormonism. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but they aren't really interested in other countries, languages, or cultures beyond using that knowledge to impose their own culture and religion on others.

Oh please. Most missionaries return with a real love for their assigned countries, languages, and cultures. Just because you disagree with their beliefs, you don't have to dehumanize them.

All the Mormons I've met are the nicest people you could ask. I've met a lot, in different places. It's a hobby of mine talking with them. I'm an atheist b t genuinely believe if all the people would act like this, world would be pretty damn close to being a heaven.
