What's wrong with that? Don't you want to go there with Adolf Hitler?

It's worth looking up and reading about.

Just another example of religious zealots killing people in the name of god. Definitely a sad story.

19. Strict Mormons refer to Mountain Dew as "Devil Water." On the other hand (or maybe because of this?), Mountain Dew is very popular in Utah.

I was talking about the regular. I'm not sure about "code blue" and all the fancy new ones. Barq's rootbeer has it but most Root Beer doesn't.

Is this because there are more Mormons in Canada? Or because Canada has more Mormons? Cause or effect....:-k

This thread has been locked pending further review. I will post more information when it is decided on.

Why was the thread about Mormonism facts locked?

There are plenty of other threads discussing facts about different religions. Several about Christianity and Islam, I can remember a couple about Scientology in the past. I can't find anything in the guidelines that the thread went against. Everyone please feel free to share what you know here. Then the mods can just merge this into the one that already exists.

Could someone please explain what was wrong with the thread about historical facts regarding Mormonism? It was never bashing the religion.

Is prime still an admin here? I know he's a Mormon - maybe he was offended? Are all threads bashing religion going to be locked now?

But it wasn't bashing the religion! I don't recall anyone saying that people who practice Mormonism are evil. Mormonism is full of interesting (albeit often violent) history and fascinating beliefs. I was just sharing what I've been learning recently. People post plenty of facts about Islam and Christianity and their interesting (albeit often violent) history.

Can someone point out where a guideline was broken in that thread?

the guidelines aren't really followed, it's more about who whines the loudest and what mood the mods are in. you of all people should know this.

anyway, that thread deserved to be closed because you are a bigot.

You have played the part of both, on occasions.
