Response to the blue-haired, nose-piercings, Agnostic.

(My response to someone self-described as “blue hair, asymmetrical nose piercings, gay, and identifies as Agnostic”)

I like your writing style. I hope that you really don’t think that all “Mormons” are bad. Just like any group of people, you’ll get all kinds. I think that even though I’m a faithful church-going, (well, at least before this COVID stuff since we couldn’t go to church for several months), member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (we try not to use “Mormon” as much now), that we could still be friends.

Of course I won’t join you and have a drink at the bar, unless it’s Diet Coke, then I will out-drink anyone. But I’ll happily discuss the insane affairs of our geopolitical climate, I’ll share a good pun or three, and I’ll tell you about all the good new wave music from the 80’s. (If you don’t listen to the Cure, then you should. I think you’d like them.)

So, my blue-haired gay friend, from this middle-aged average Mormon-guy, married with 6 kids, peace. Peace among all people; members of our church, those of other faiths, and those of no faith. I’ll worship my way. You worship your way… unless it was that pagan witchcraft thing that you mentioned. Then maybe not. haha. Just kidding. If that’s your thing, I guess go for it. Cheers from the Pacific Northwest!

As I have loved you,

Love one another.

This new commandment:

Love one another.

By this shall men know

Ye are my disciples,

If ye have love

One to another.
