The Non-Mormons

If you want a good assessment on how Mormons are actually living the Gospel of Jesus Christ, all you have to do is get an opinion from a Non-Mormon. Say like a Catholic or a Baptist living in Salt Lake City. You will get a hundred opinions, but all of them probably boil down to one thing. The typical Non-Mormon feels excluded from society.

This is probably a terrible thing, but typically from their perspective, Non-mormons would say that it's like being on the outside looking in. Many people are not allowed to socialize with them and love between a mormon and a non-mormon is a forbidden subject. This is not odd since most Shadowrunners in Salt Lake City are non-mormons. However, as was said before, Mormons come from all walks of life, including those that Shadowrun.

In the 2070s, the Church has been seen as so exclusionary that the whole community seems to be against "non-mormons." This, as a rule, is a generality and is not true. There are many corporations and businesses which will employ non-mormons. Generally, though, Non-mormons come from all walks of life too, in Salt Lake City. Just that the society's pressure to conform is incredibly great, in some areas. So this is another Generality.

For Mormons, non-mormons come in three flavors. Those favorable to the Church, those who are anti-mormon, and those who are ex-mormon. Of the three, the most critical are those that publish anti-mormon literature. Unless, of course, you happen to be the True Messenger. The last of the True Messengers showed up in 2004 with the publication of the ''Sealed Portion of the Book of Mormon. ''He's persecuted not only by non-mormons, but persecuted by his own "Mormon Tribe" as well. The last of the True Messengers lives a quiet life, trying to help people become better, in the Provo area.
