I am a recovered mormon and will continue to make fun if I so desire. If the mormons would like to overrun my apartment to punish me, please, come forth.

There is no heaven. There is no hell.
There are no angels and there are no demons.
There is only our real, natural world all around us.
Religion is but myth and superstition.
Religious conviction hardens hearts,
religious faith enslaves minds.
