  response to  Daniel Brook's post The Mormons Are Coming!

  Come now, can't we do better?

  While this article does point out some of the rather eccentric and
  humorous aspects of Mormon missionary culture, it eventually turns
  into a befuddled heap of uncreative and poorly researched journalism.
  An article such as this, allegedly opening the world to the strange
  secrets of Mormons has been written thousands of times, and especially in the lead up to this election season. Moreover, it needn't be completely
  addressed how many basic informational mistakes were made in this
  article - that were either not researched well or just not included
  for the author's own editorial purposes.
  The article, in a way condemns Mormonism for being an imperialistic and dogmatic religion, but the article itself is the one the ends up
  having the imperialistic tone. Mormon culture is a strange and new culture,
  and since different than the ideals of east coast liberal elitists
  (who have obviously reached the apex of human evolution) must be
  ridiculed and changed to conform to your ideals. A lack of genuine
  understanding and pretension is a strong mark of imperialism, and this
  article is a just a more passive form of it all.
