And by "real", I mean really delicious! 😋

The current reason I am sent here is to spread 300 permanent personality changes to atheists to make them as profusely friendly/nice as Mormons have been described in RooshV's ex-Mormon thread (which I am not allowed to link to yet, per the 30/30 rule). Look at what other people on the internet have to say about Mormons:
I would like to make 300 atheists become permanently as profusely nice/friendly as those 4 comments portray Mormons! After all, Mormons do not hold a "monopoly" on kindness, empathy, and compassion. It's just what our religion teach us is "normal" so we just do it because everyone else is doing it also, and there seems no reason not to do it.
- I have a couple of friends who were Mormon, and one old boss who I assume still is. Best boss I ever had. ¶ Outside of their religion, I think the Mormons have some of the best social systems and cultures in the west. 💖 (from the internet commenter Max Roscoe)
- In principle, there is a lot to like about Mormons, and my experience with Mormons as friends has been very positive. I have one good friend who is now an ex-Mormon (one of those I mentioned in another thread who I could meet up with about once every two years for two to three hours of excellent conversation, etc). Same as you, I have one ex-boss who was (and is) a Mormon. He was an excellent boss, and I learned a lot by working for him. I keep in touch with him, and would be very comfortable calling him up for advice or to say hello. They are both very decent people, good men through and through. 💖 (from the internet commenter BasilSeal)
- My former neighbors are Mormon. Their youngest daughter is about 18 now, she was 3 when we first moved across the street from them. I consider the mother and father to be salt of the earth. 💖 (from the internet commenter Thomas More)
- I’ve rarely met a Mormon I didn’t like and get along with, but I’ve also been told by several people that the friendly-happy face Mormons show to the world isn’t always indicative of what’s really going on (as other posters have mentioned). I have a lot of respect for their zeal for their faith and desire to evangelize, which I hope many of them keep as they convert to Orthodoxy so they can point those activities in the right direction. 💖 (from the internet commenter MichaelWitcoff)
Since this is an atheist forum, I would like to pay honor/tribute to three amazing atheists:
I first discovered Carl Sagan when my curiosity compelled me to watch some physics lectures on MIT opencourseware with Walter Lewin. In the first or second lecture, he played the famous "Pale Blue Dot" video on YouTube. It literally "broke my mind" and made me realize how wrong my perspective had been my entire life! 😁
- Richard Feynman (a brilliant physicist and winner of the 1965 Nobel Prize 🏆)
- Isaac Asimov (as a professional writer/artist/musician, I must opine that this man is a writing legend! ✍)
- Carl Sagan (a scientific genius that gifted the world with his presence, and we are all worse without him 👩🚀)
Me, I almost converted to the CoJCoLDS on account of the green Jello, with carrots.You could be worse than the Tanners and go after the Church worse than Korihor did in Alma chapter 30, and the elders would only bring you a bowl of green Jello as a peace offering.
