big chunk of that is Mormons. More Trump supporters than i thought too.

Mormonism is the only religion I'm straight up bigoted against and everything new I learn about them just reinforces my prejudice

Yeah I tried not to be bigoted against Mormonism but every Mormon author I've read writes really simplistically, has weird attitudes toward sex.

And (spoilering disturbing content)

spoilerWtf is going on with Mormons and pedofilia?!

Stephanie Meyer: Twilight has a lot of it.

Orson Scott Card: wrote a book (Hart's Hope) that opens with a graphic depiction of it, justifies it, and the next chapter goes into how "wicked" the child victim is

So yeah now I'm biased against Mormons

It's Christianity with an American settler spin on it, deeply evil concept
