SamanthaI live in a heavy LDS community in Idaho and don't like the siiatnmoncous attitude I get from my communitiy. (I am obviously not LDS). I treat them with neighborly politeness but do not wish to engage any further. I've had some LDS parent tell me that I will never get to their celestial heaven because I'm not good enough since I have not converted to mormonism (I am Catholic). Last time I checked the mormons aren't deciding who goes to heaven but God is, unless they have taken over his role and I am not aware. Also, I have two children who I love dearly and have been asked on several occasions by LDS women why I didn't have more. I'm thinking to myself that it's really none of your business and because of medical issues and per the advice of my OB/GYN doctor, if I had more I would probably be dead (what a great mom I would be, huh?). Then there's the problem I have that most mormons only do business with other mormons. It reminds me of the verse: Matthew 21:12: And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves. Wonder how God feels about this? I have also been told by non-LDS moms of younger children that many LDS children will not play with their children (this came from several different moms at one of the local elementary schools) Mine are older and in HS so this doesn't happen as much at that level. I just don't understand most of this mentality. I am in the mindset and I have raised our childen the same way that we should learn to live with one another regardless of religious differences, color, race etc. But the actions/behavior/sanctimonious mentality here in ID is concerning. What happens when these kids get in the real world outside their LDS bubble?There are many roads to heaven and let's let God decide who is good enough .
