If you had to be either Orthodox Jewish or Mormon which would you pick?

[Anonymous]

I'm Jewish but not Orthodox. I think I'd pick Mormon because there seems to be a bit more of a culture of fun and Mormons can mix with non Mormons. There are a few Orthodox Jewish women in my neighborhood, and I don't envy them.

Mormon for sure. Kosher laws are way too intense for me. You have to be damn organized and disciplined to make that work! I could give up coffee and wear the temple garments. Plus I totally want to know about all the weird secret rituals that happen in the temple.

You can watch the temple ceremonies on youtube.

Hmmm…yes, I’d agree- Mormon.

Tough one. Are we talking Orthodox or ultra-orthodox? If the latter, definitely Mormon.

I guess they all have a good sense of community. But what a terrible price you would pay in terms of freedom.

Mormon - they seem to be very successful and supportive within their community. Giving up coffee is rough but you can still drink soda.

Mormon

Mormon! Mormons seem happy and Orthodox Jews seem sad and serious. It also seems like Mormons mix more easily with other people but Orthodox Jews are more separated.

Mormon.

Mormon. No question.

Mormon. Studies have shown they are healthier too. I already don’t drink so I would feel more at home with them than the general public.

You are asking me to choose between pork and shellfish on one hand, and coffee and alcohol on the other?

This game sucks.

I don’t know - Mormons don’t face antisemitism but they do creepy stuff like convert Jews who died in the Holocaust to Mormonism, proselytize, discourage eduction/careers for women; have long histories with racism and LGBT. I would rather be Modern Orthodox. I would rather be Mormon 2.0 than Ultraorthodox. But, I would rather be ultra orthodox than fundamentalist Mormon. Mormons are richer than Jews, though.

My Mormon friend says she’s a Diet Coke fiend, but it’s decaffeinated and while she looks happy, it makes my die inside.

Id make an excellent slacker mormon – or whatever would be the equivalent of cafeteria catholic. I just can’t give up caffeine. Not even for my own planet in the hereafter.

Oh man...I was all ready to choose Mormon but when you put it that way...
I'm allergic to shellfish and just meh on pork...but I need my coffee every morning.
