How the LDS Church Affects a Non-Mormon, Wine Loving, Free Spirit

So here it is. I'm not a Mormon. Now this should not mean that I should be judged, left out, or be made to feel alienated by my community. Lucky for me, I am an individual who is very strong, and who couldn't care less what religion my neighbor is. Unfortunately, however, I am in the minority in my thought process.

I am a good, law abiding citizen. I am married, and have one child. I am 29 - that sure is old in their eyes. By now I should probably have sprouted about 6 kids, and have number 7 on the way. Times are a changin', or are they? Please keep in mind, as I will mention later, that this is an opinion piece, it is not based on any news articles, or based on negative feelings, it is solely based on my feelings, and my feelings only. I think more articles are needed like this on Associated Content. Readers, in my opinion, like to put themselves in someone elses' shoes, allow me to let you stand in my shoes for just a few moments.
