Ah, welcome to read and find out...unfortuantly the only LDS people I have known have all been very very odd. Alcoholic, sexist, or just strange. So I try not to talk about your religion much. Also been jaded by an HBO show...


Alright. I will point out the obvious and say that any group is bound to have some strange people in it, and that our church believes in abstaining from the consumption of alcohol, so an alcoholic is perhaps not the best representative of our church.

And I'm guessing that you're talking about Big Love? I've never seen the show, so I'm not quite sure what you mean by jaded, but it is not an accurate depiction of our church. The characters are not LDS, they are actually Fundamentalist Mormons with many different practices and beliefs.
