More Cards from the Devout
February 10th, 2006So, my cool 30s-era doorbell is working all of a sudden. I know this because two young Mormons used it yesterday so they could hand me this card:
I like those Mormons; it’s too bad their religion seems so wacky, what with the Joseph Smith and the Angel Moroni business and the special underwear. And don’t they believe that Jesus came to America or something?
Anyway I liked these two Mormon girls. They were very friendly. One of them said, “Oh, your listening to Fresh Air! I love that show.” So Mormon girls listen to NPR; that’s interesting. Perhaps they were surprised that whitey was living in the ‘hood.
And look at their very girly, pink handwriting—“Sisters Madsen & Bengtzen.” That’s fun, right? Are they posing as nuns or something or do Mormons get to call themselves “Sisters”?
So I felt like I could be friends with these young Mormons. It’s too bad that I had to tell them I wasn’t interested in their church services.

Mormonism was the Scientology of the 19th century. It’s a wacky cult that some how slid into “acceptable religion” through taking one for the team and settling that godawful Utah territory for the USA way back when.
