I was raised and baptized mormon.. had to go to church 3 hours every sunday, an hour every day before high school, etc.. personally I don't ascribe to any religion and obviously have issues with mormonism (along with most of christianity) because of its stance towards homosexuality.. HOWEVER.. as far as christianity goes, it's really one of the nicest versions out there, and not any "crazier" than any other religion. They believe that nearly everyone goes to heaven just for choosing to come to earth instead of following satan in the pre-mortal existence, and that people are married for the eternities, not just for life..
p.s. mormons are NOT POLYGAMISTS- it was banned by the church a century ago. The polygamists in TX are Fundamentalists- they split off 100 years ago and are a completely separate religion.
