I don’t know whether to make fun of Mormons here in this now-Pit thread, or make fun of drive-by spammer/copypasta conspiracy theorist posts to our dear SDMB. Ugh. ☹ ---

> [@Darth\_Panda](#): > > He is?! > > Quick, somebody go help that moron! No, no. Someone go help _a_ moron! Drat. I left out the indefinite article before the adjective. By the way, I just did a web search for the text of the opening post in this thread. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you, that text has only been [del]spammed[/del] posted in three places, and one of those was just over _two years_ ago. And the OP seems to not be amenable to zombies! What’s the world come to when someone getting their crazy on doesn’t even hit a century within 18 months? ---

> [@Jragon](#): > > I don’t know, I don’t think I’ve ever met an anti-\ force quite as strong as somebody who just left that religion. **Especially** with religions that emphasize missionary work, since they seem to convert that former missionary fervor back the other direction. Nay, this type of rambling is by a never-Mormon. Us ex’s ramble in an entirely different fashion. All Mormons are brainwashed zombies = never Mormon Quorum of Twelve smell of elderberries = ex Mormon ---

Q: Why do Mormon women stop having babies at 35? A: Because 36 is just too many. Q: What is one of the primary reasons the brethren put an end to multiple marriages? A: Multiple mother-in-laws. A Mormon told me that they don’t drink coffee. I said, “A cup of coffee every day gives you wonderful benefits.” He said, “Like what?” I said, “Well, it keeps you from being a Mormon …” Thanks folks, I’ll be here all week copy/pasting from in interwebs 😃 ---

Is it any shock that the OP is the ONLY post from this loser? Signed up just to troll a message board. Too chickenshit to come back. ---

[Moderating] The OP has been spamming this all over the Internet. I’ve banned her, and am closing this thread, and apparently, my iPad automatically capitalizes Internet, which seems weird to me.
