From a friend I'd like to suggest that people either download (free) or purchase The LDS Preparedness Manual. It is the most comprehensive thing out there that covers everything you need to know!! Lots of checklists and basic information. The downloadable pdf is 509 pages. The few bits about religion won't get in anyone's way. http://www.ldsavow.com/PrepManualGeneral.html

I'll be honest with you, I'm not sure I like Mormons more than any other religion. They can be incredibly cruel to people who don't fit their ideal "model"- like gay children, and folks with doubts. I grant you, they do have a Stepford-esque quality that makes them pleasant to be around, but they would just as happy to force their ideas down your throat- they just don't have the power of the Xtian right. (I mean these are the folks who poured money into CA to forbid gay people the right to marry like everyone else- how much more in your business can people get?) Almost all religions, when they get a little power, abuse it, because they are doing it for your own good. Blaise nailed it: Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
