Editor:

I would like to start by giving you credit for publishing all those controversial articles in the Opinion page.

That is the only reason I bother to pick up a copy on a daily basis.

I have a comment in regard to why I think it is that Mormons get bashed all the time. It’s their cockiness.

Out of all the Mormons I have talked to, I consider about half to be cocky.

I don’t dislike Mormons-I respect every group and religion.

We all have the right to our own beliefs, as well as the responsibility to respect each other.

One example of Mormon cockiness is that if you aren’t Mormon, members try their best not to associate with you because God forbid they end up dating a non-member.

Another example is when they ask if you are a member of “The Church.”

I used to think they were referring to either Islam or Catholicism, since they are the largest religions in the world.

Then I thought they might have meant Judaism or Hinduism, some of the oldest religions.

To my surprise, they were referring to the Mormon Church as “The Church.” I tried not to laugh, but I could not believe how ignorant and cocky these people were.

They live in a bubble.

To my knowledge, the LDS Church is not even in the top three religions in this country.

For all you members, don’t take this as an insult-take it as a lesson.
