Presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney is in a bit of controversy over his religious beliefs. Pastor Robert Jeffrees, accused Romney of being in a cult because he is a Mormon. He also said that Mormons aren’t Christians. Mormons are people who are from the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints. Romney served as a missionary in his younger years.

More on the story, here.

I’m gonna have to agree that the Mormon religion is a cult. I know, because in the past, I used to go to them. Yep, I used to go to the Later Day Saints a long time ago. I’ll confess it. I decided to leave the religion ’cause I figured this wasn’t going to be my thing. I went to it ’cause I thought it would be a good way to better my life, but I figure I would be a better person my own ways without joining a religion.

How the Mormon religion do things is really disturbing. They have these rules you must follow: 1) You can’t have sex before marriage (most religions have this rule) 2) Can’t drink coffee or tea 3) Can’t drink alcohol 4) Can’t listen to heavy metal music or watch R rated movies 5) No swearing/profanity 6) you must dress appropriately, etc. I can go on with the list.

I also don’t like how they force you to go to these special Church meetings when you don’t really want to and Church people think they can show up at your house unannounced. Plus, I don’t really like Missionaries either, aka the Elders. Missionaries are people who wear black and white suit, most of them young men. They travel around the world, knocking on people’s doors trying to talk into people joining the Church. That’s what they do. I’m sure Missionaries stopped at your house before too.

Does all this make me an atheist? Yes, maybe. It’s a free country, people can do what they want to do. It just bothered me how religion controls your life. I’m just a happy person living the life I want to. I don’t need to be in a religion, no offense to those who are religious out there.
