I'm not sure I could give up on meat to become a mormon. 
My parents twisted my mind when I was young, they said this animal had a long and prosperous life before it arrived on our table or something similar to that so I wouldn't feel bad about it dying. If I grew up in a different family then I could have been made into a vegetarian but now that I tasted what the forbidden food tastes like its hard to turn away from it.

Wait...what?
That's not a part of being mormon. *shakes head*
That is MY CHOICE.....I mean, so is being Mormon, but the 2 aren't connected
My whole family is mormon and eats meat, I'm the only veggie.
Oh, that kinda makes psychological sense.
I just never liked meat, and thought about it, and didn't want to eat dead things.
Yay! I get a better calf, I can run again. (after 3 days rest, I see, I see....that means Monday!)
Oh, and TPP, you receive, hope

Oh, I haven't read up on mormonism in a while. I don't have a religion. I was brought up with some of the christian religion but then after a while my parents and sibling turned Agnostic.
I wish I had a religion to follow but its hard for me to chose one. Naturally, I would chose the one that I would most likely be forgiven of my sins after feeling guilty and praying for my forgiveness so I don't have to suffer in the afterlife. But they all seem to have a bit of that here and there. I hope god or whoever forgives me because I feel bad not being able to remember/follow certain rules of life.
I'm so indecisive, I can't decide on a religion.

Ok, I just wanted to make sure you understood, there are a lot of misunderstandings about mormonism.
My family is all mormon...I mean, we aren't the strongest mormon family, but we all have testimonies of our own.
I could see why you would feel that way. In my religion, that's called repentance....but it also includes (along with feeling guilty and praying for forgiveness) changing the problem that you made and fixing any consequences that came from it.
No one is going to suffer that much in the afterlife aside from the sons of perdition.
You just might not be as happy as you can be.
The difference my religion teaches is feeling bad, and then trying to do something to fix that...but that is a really good start to have a good heart.
Well, if you ever have any questions or wanna talk about it, you can always talk to me or if you know any missionaries.
Oh, yay! Flowers!
You receive aspirin.

Religion makes me depressed
I'm just going to try and believe in Jesus Christ, turn away from sin, ask for forgiveness, move on with my life.
Its impossible to find the people you sinned against and ask for forgiveness or make up for your wrong if it was a LOONG time ago..
Maybe I'll donate food or money for Christmas.
In the Chinese religions, Karma can be canceled out if you have more Dharma. Which means if you do more good things for people in life then bad, the sins might cancel out.
All in all its God who has the final word, so who knows..
