Quote of the Day
Filed under: Quote of the Day > Brandon Flowers
"I don't know why I'm coming to terms with this right now, but in the last few months…I get asked about it a lot. If I were Catholic, no one would bat an eye. …People look at me like I'm an alien when they ask about Mormonism. It's there in my music. It's always been there. It's obviously, it's, um, it's unavoidable."
- The Killers' Brandon Flowers opens up about being a Mormon rockstar in the new issue of Spin magazine

I will never forgive them for the lame cover of Joy Division.Out to be a law!
Maybe they ask you about it because Mormonism is second only to Scientology for being fucking batshit crazy?
He is gay!!!!!!!!!
yawn
Someday, somewhere over the rainbow, won't it be lovely when we stop giving a shit what religion someone practices?
I ♥ B-FLO!!!who cares if he's a mormon or not though? the Killers make great music, that's all that should matter!!!
How is his religion reflected in his religion? I thought he was gay.
eeew bluck
lool
thanks for pointing out the obvious minnie XD
Maybe, just maybe, because Mormon registers just slightly lower than Scientology on the "Nutty, Made-Up Religions That Hate Homos That Homos Join Anyway" Meter, darling. Just a guess.
"People look at me like I'm an alien"
Well at least from the X-Files. Mormonism is barely a religion imho.
Blahhhh moving on…..
Every watch Big Love dude?
He sucks.
Re: harrybalsac – 'sup Harry?
Mormans are allowed to listen to music???!!!???
lame, I shouldn't care what religion someone practises but it just makes me think now he's a sheep…

The fact is that the mormon religion is founded on the delusions of a sex crazed megalomaniac from the 1800's who wanted to create an environment where he could have sex with multiple women- period. It's a whacky religion just as weird as scientology.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Mormons also believe you have to have 7 kids to become the god of your own planet after you die.

BEING THAT THE YOUNG MAN IS SO BEAUTIFULLY GAY-FACED, LG
IS JUST GLAD HE GOT OUT OF UTAH ALIVE!!!
.
What kind of a person judges by religion?
.
.
LG SAW A DOCUMENTARY ON MORMONISM AND BASICALLY IT WAS ABOUT A DERANGED NUT-BAG WHO HEARD A SALAMANDER IN THE WOODS PREACHING THEN HE WENT HOME AND SOLD HIS DELUSION TO A LOT MORE IDIOTS. WHICH PRETTY MUCH EXPLAINS MARIE OSMOND.

KISSES JUNE GORDON!

Hey Mel, welcome back, your reply not working.
I'm more concerned about the rhinestones he glued on his keyboards than his religion.
Re: Jezzebel – Mormons are allowed to listen to music, but Mormon men are not usually allowed to wear more eyeliner than Liza Minnelli on a bender.
que guapo!!
They haven't done anything good since there first album.
Normally i wouldn't judge people on there religion but i grew up in AZ and those moromons are kinda mean if ur not in that clique.
Mormonism is worse than Scientology- there's no comparison. They are kid-fucking bigots who gave millions to take away the rights of LGBT Californians.
I always think it's hilarious when ignorant Christians whine about Scientology being crazy and weird. So, believing in Xenu and aliens is SO much weirder than believing that Jonah lived in a whale and Christ rose from the dead and walked on water?
Hypocritical dumbasses!
I believe in spirituality. I don't believe in religions.
Leave Brandon alone, I really don't see why people make such a big deal about him being Mormon. He's a very talented musician, singer and dong writer….Plus he's hot!!! I can't wait to see them in Vegas!
Re: Jezzebel – Yes Mormons are allowed to listen to music, I myself I'm Mormon, I don't see why everyone seems too think we're crazy, or that we hate the gays, and the blacks, well we kind of do. But still, we're not crazy…
Hey Perez why don't you link him to Prop 8 and try to ruin his career like your cohorts tried to do to so many others?
Well hell yeah, I'll have 18 kids for him, lol!
I'm down with the Mormons…..
I like there family values… don't like the religious part, but its cool. They keep to themselves. They dont try to convert constantly.
oh well…. I don't like the Mormon prop 8 thing, besides that they are cool.
Tax the Mormon Church. boo mormons.
Re: auj-poj – "They keep to themselves. They dont try to convert constantly."
Bullshit. They try to impose their closed-minded fucked-up-ness on the rest of America, which is why Utah Mormons were behind the campaign against gay marriage in California. Since when does a religion that started with harems of underage girls as "marriages" get off telling other people what kind of marriage they can have?
I'm a Catholic but boy is they're are some hot Mormon's out there…LOL! Unfortunately, I never understood the Mormon religion itself.
Re: Lisa W a Lil L –
Wow Lisa, I'm Mormon and have never heard of the "7 kids" ordeal, that's a great one! Thanks for spreading inaccurate information
You can't follow such a ludicrous religion and not expect to get asked about it.
Re: Charmer –
I agree!! who cares what religion he is, The Killers are amazing and so is their new album
Don't post comments if you do not know what you are talking about. Mormons have values, find that out form the source not from the internet chat rooms.
Re: JuneGordon –
Are you related to Leona the ghost? You could be twins or at least sisters but you're more attractive.
hopefully he doesn't think badly of gay marriage… then i'd have to boycott their music… but i like them. =(

ACTUALLY IN LG'S EVER SO HUMBLE OPINION THE "RELIGIOUS" ARE FURTHER FROM THE LIGHT THAN THOSE WHO ATTEND AN ART SHOWING OR
ENJOY NATURE FOR A FEW HOURS.

Re: LG is simply ABSTRACT! – Hey LG! I don't care what
he is. Brandon is hot!
Re: JuneGordon – you sound like a very angry and hateful person and frankly I pity you. As someone of the LDS faith I know that what you are saying is untrue and very ignorant, your comments reflect a lack of knowledge thats unfortunate. To whoever said that morons believe "you need to have seven kids to become your own god." I laughed out loud at that, also not true, but pretty funny. I know prop 8 has made a lot of people angry, but unlike other churches my church has always believed that homosexuals should have equal rights, its the redefinition of marriage we object to. If you were to call it something else, we wouldn't care. So since most of you get your knowledge about the mormon faith from "Big Love" which by the way isnt even about mormons but a crazy offshoot, or from this website, feel free to enjoy your hateful comments. Because frankly, most of your views are so skewed and inaccurate it doesn't even make us angry, we really don't care frankly. We go to work, pay our taxes and vote just like every other American. Since I'm sure this post will be attacked by people who claim to know "real" mormon philosophy Ill leave you to your inaccurate filth. Whatever makes you feel better is fine by us frankly.
the story of how mormonism was created, sounds like something a five year old would come up with.
i still love the killers though
Re: Semantics – You make more sense then anybody else here. All religion is bullshit..Hail Satan 666!!
What happened to REAL rebels? All these little pop singers with their flashy music, looks, CD's and INSTRUMENTS SUCK REAL BAD! And they call themselves rock stars….
Hot Mormon guys always come to my house to talk to me about life and stuff…they are always so clean cut and dressed in ties…Mormons are HOT!!!
Re: sheba08 – #45.

WELL HELLO DARLING!

OH BEING GAY ONLY MAKES HIM MORE DIVINE IN LG'S NEVER SO HUMBLE OPINION, BEAUTY!!!

AIR KISSES JUNE!

If you were CATHOLIC noone would say anything???!! What an idiot. As a Catholic, we have to be one of the MOST BASHED religions ever. Grow up, loser. How does it feel?
AND auj-poj…What do you mean Mormons don't try converting people…The Mormons are always at my door. Ugh! When was the last time you had a Catholic priest or member of a Catholic church come knocking on your door with pamphlets riding little bikes, with white shirts and ties…Um….I'm just saying!
Re: Lisa W a Lil L – Hey, how about you read "Under the Banner of Heaven"? It talks a lot about the history of Mormons, then maybe you can get your facts straight. When Joseph Smith practiced polygamy he got tarred and feathered / he was also beaten severely. About the kids thing, Judaism also preaches that Jews should have as many children as God intended - same as Mormons.
read a little, k ?
Re: nswider – "its the redefinition of marriage we object to"
That's rich, coming from a Mormon. Don't you see the irony in Mormons presuming to define other people's marriages when Mormons were driven from towns and states because of their polygamist definition of marriage? Your whole church had to "redefine" its idea of marriage once in order to be legal, because you were founded by a pedophile con artist who liked to sleep with lots of girls even though he was already "married." (That's actual history, not your fairy tales — look it up, if you dare.) You people are in no position to lecture ANYONE on anything, much less what should constitute a marriage. So shut up. Don't you have some doors to knock on, darling? Your "church" is nothing more than an Amway pyramid scheme with silly underwear.
#30.you can suck ass.
anywayz.
BF. is still freakin hot and love the music.
I love The Killers! and of course i love Brandon Flowers
Re: JuneGordon – ok, so polygamy is practiced by FUNDAMENTALIST Latter Day Saints. the current LDS's do NOT practice polygamy. GO READ "UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN."
FUCK MORMANS AND FUCK THE KILLERS

Hate*
Re: Jezzebel – hahaha….mormons are a little crazy

THE THREADS TODAY ARE FIERCE!!!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, TYPOS INCLUDED!

AFTER ALL, THEY'RE YOUR "SIGNATURE," DARLING!
.
JUST AS FLAWLESS COMMENTARY IS LG'S!!!
.
I totally agree with this quote. Seriously, if you want to know the truth about mormons just ask one. If you think something sounds ridiculous, that's because it is and it isn't true. The mormon church is actually the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Mormon is just a nickname from persecuters of this church in earlier days because they have another testiment of Jesus Christ know as The Book of Mormon. Don't write things that aren't true, learn for yourself.
What? Mormon rock stars? There's never been such a thing in the history of mankind! Oh wait, Osmonds. BFD.

Re: VivaLaJen – I actually did read Under the Banner of Heaven and if YOU read it then you would have realized that the author did NOT present the Mormon church in a postive light. So your point is what??
Do you deny the LDS church doesn't teach that believers will someday rule their own planet as gods??

also in your interest a funny lil vid:

The KIllers are an amazing band and Flowers writes amazing lyrics…But, mormon, no way ! And I think is very less open minded as he pretends. Plus, all the shits he keeps saying about other bands make him look very stupid. So he can be cute, I don't care, he's a moron.
Re: JuneGordon –
You're really out of line.
Its sad to see how ignorant you really are. If you had any actual facts about us as Mormons, you wouldn't post ignorant rants online. Making fun of our underwear? Really?
Re: winehouse –
its spelled Mormon, not Morman you idiot!
Who cares if Brandon's mormon. He's the first bit of musical genius to come along in quite a while. I think it's great he's open about his religion. And, you know he doesn't carry a 9mm around.
Re: HungUpBoyToy –
yhea but you guys do have a weird sacred underpanty thang going on- do u deny that??
u have to admit that that IS pretty funny stuff- besides all the other funny stuff lol
Did he bedazzle the shit out of his keyboard with all those rhinestones or what!???!
who is he anyhow?
and is he gay?
oh shit, a mormon ?
that sucks, those homophobic religious freaks
i really like him and i think he is hot but this thing is a huge let down (he a mormon)
Re: Linda9801 – mmm, really?
I was raised catholic. And I love religions, in a scientific historic way. But I do not practice any religion, I was just born in a catholic country, and… customs, and whatnot.
But I dont really think that catholics are the most bashed in the world.
Every religion is unfortunately pretty bashed.
I mean, last century I think the jews had a really BAD time. Dont you agree?
So I think every religion is pretty bashed. Yeah.
I dont really mind about what religion people around me practice, as long as they dont interfere with my life. And I also hope that others learn to respect my beliefs or non existant beliefs, as long as I dont mess up with theirs.
I love the killers. Though I really know very little about the members' personal lives. I didnt know brandon was a mormon.
He's a Morman?????! that ALMOST kills it for me. I bet he still drinks and smokes and fornicates though….but if he EVER mentions "Holy FAther" in a song, I'm taking a dump on the CD and mailing it to him.
um que cosita mas rica, me lo comeria!!!
Why so much hate? Leave the boy alone. When your mind is more open listen to his music. The Killers are great. Perez–why,why,why such an old picture & cum dripping???? I thought you liked him. You were smilng awful big in that picture of the two of you.
true, its not decent to judge but some of the money the killers make goes to the mormon church which in turn judges everyone else!
Not all Mormons hate gay people. Brandon is for equal rights.
Wtv he is, he's hot.
And Stephenie Meyer is a Mormon, and as far as I can tell, hardly anyone says anything about it.
