Do you think Mormons had it right?

Contributor: Gdom Gdom
Putting aside the fact that plenty of Mormons have radically different views/behavior with respect to a lot of things (I've actually met some surprisingly progressive, fairly LGBTQ-friendly ones) and thus probably shouldn't be grouped under a single monolithic title for evaluation...if you're talking about the religious aspects, no, I do not. If I did, I'd be a Mormon already. As for the social aspects, political views and so forth, well again, those are going to depend a lot on the individual, but I'm not a fan of the intense social conservatism frequently associated with Mormons (no matter what the source).

I think you worded it very well. That fits my personally beef with many religious. I think there wasn't equal consideration, and often times there are to one sex benefit (usually the males)

I don't really agree with what mormons believe.

The only reason I say yes, is because I believe in Plural Marriage. Not because I agree with any of the tenants of their religion.

I am LDS and although the culture of the Mormons is very male dominant, the church does not condone it. A man can actually be excommunicated from the church for being abusive mentally or physically. Unfortunately many woman do not speak up to the leaders of their congregation when they are being abused, especially since many of them do not recognize the abuse. I am sorry Dusk that you had a negative experience while attending an LDS church. I myself have not had the best experiences with the culture, but have been able to set the culture aside and appreciate what the church actually teaches and not what the people do.

no, because the power was weighted towards the men.

It's hard to say no because religion is a very subjective thing and personal to one person but, I don't agree with most organized religion.
