Do those answers conflict *at all*?

See, that's just ignorant. Why can't they be BOTH?

No crazier than the average, just marginally more visible.

I'll go with Deluded for local Mormons, dangerous cult for the Fundamentalist LDS.

I seriously recommend and CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH Krakauer's Under the Banner of Heaven to find out just how dangerous it is.

The average Mormon is definitely somebody I'd want as a neighbor or good friend. It's just when they have enough of them together that they get cult-like and weird.

So, as long as I'm not living in Utah, Northern Utah (aka Southern Idaho), or other territories where they dominate the local town infrastructure, I'm fine with them.

Their leaders, on the other hand...stake-level leaders and up are just WEIRD.

I've found that answering the door naked, drenched in a red liquid and holding a bloody knife only to smile cheerily and say "Oh, I'm happily pagan. Won't you come in? I'd love to discuss beliefs with you" not only makes them get off my lawn, but makes them do so at some speed. They don't come around any more, either.

Neither. They're the scary conservatives who keep quiet about their desire to destroy my life by turning my vagina into a clown car.
