This lazy panda forgot to write something about itself.

Hey Pandas, Tell Me About An Incorrect Stereotype About Your Religion, Race, Sexuality, Etc.
Mormon here. Yes we dance, yes we drink caffeine (just not drinks with tannins) no we don't practice polygamy anymore (seriously it's been over 100 years). Our underwear isn't magic, but it does decrease panty lines. Yes we do rend to have a lot of kids, but we can use birth control if we want (abortions only under certain circumstances though.) We are not all Republicans (Libertarian here). The church doesn't actually run Utah. But will speak up about matters that affect freedom of religion. Otherwise they just say to study politics and participate. Yes, you may feel judged at church. Just remind people that God is your judge and what you're going through is between you and Jesus. Or at least give them a look that says the same. Our Temples are Highly sacred houses that we use to practice worship in that is so sacred and unique that we can't really explain it well to people who haven't really studied our religion. Which is why we dont talk about it. We can explain some things, and some temples have visitor centers you can go to. Fun fact though, if you find videos or scripts of our ceremonies, it's a copyright violation and they can be sued. (PS, I do not look typical Mormon, I wear modest clothes, but have daith piercings for migraines and often brightly colored hair. Yes, I get judged for this, I don't care and often use it as an excuse to challenge the judger.)
