Mormons lead a happy life

After researching Mormonism and reading the articles presented for us I feel like Mormonism is not as scary as it seems. Before taking this poly sci class, I did not know a thing about Mormonism and did not think too much of it. After learning their culture and traditions, Mormonism is actually a good religion. First of all their networking is amazing! The generally care for one another and really try to help each other out. It seems that once you are a Mormon, you a Mormon for life. My sorority has great networking but nothing compared to this. Mormons seem to have great family values. I feel like parents are really involved in their children's lives and vice versa. They really try to keep them together based on faith and have plenty of programs to keep them together. It's nice to see that. Also Mormons become their own god after death. Who wouldn't want that? The only thing that I think is not a great thing in the Mormon church is no birth control. I know catholics believe that too but you see more Mormons actually following that. My brother best friends had like 5 kids that last time I saw him and that financially has to be quite a burden. Despite just having a lot of kids, Mormonism seems like a good thing. I don't feel threatened at all by it and it's better to know about different religions than to just disapprove without trying.
