Mormons Are Weird

It's funny to see Mormons riding around on their missions, furiously peddling their bicycles while wearing a crisp white shirt with a tie when it's 115 degrees outside.

But this story isn't quite so funny.

--A woman whose parents are charged with kidnapping her to stop her wedding testified tearfully Wednesday that they grabbed her by the hair and told her she was breaking the commandment to honor them.

Lemuel Redd, 59, and his wife, Julia, 57, of Monticello, pleaded not guilty and were ordered to stand trial after the testimony from their daughter, Julianna Redd Myers, 21.--


I'm not totally sure that's what the commandment about honoring thy father and mother meant. Fortunately, Jesus works at the 24-hour taco emporium up the road. So I'll ask him.

Just kidding. But seriously, do Mormons WANT us to think they're weird? It's not like they don't get enough bad press, with those polygamy dudes and that funky underwear. Now they're committing felonies to make sure their Mormon spawn don't marry the "wrong" person?

Shit, people. She married a Mormon dude. In the Mormon temple. What the hell is the problem?



P.S. Your funky underwear could never contain the glory of the Moose Crank!
