A friend of mine just said that all Bi people are crazy and "they should die". He also called it disgusting and wrong... This mainly comes form his biased and troubled relationship experience.
He is also a diehard Mormon, but I'm not sure how his beliefs relate to sexuality.
This is troubling me.
I mentioned to him that I'd like being Bi, and he just flipped out. :/
what should I do / say?

Uhm.. Maybe give him a little while to calm down and then try talking to him again, If he's really your friend he will understand.

I think personally people who are like that aren't worth having anything to do with if they are judgemental like that. I don't know enough about Mormons to be able to say anything there, but it's not known to be a tolerant religion... I wouldn't suggest saying anything if it will make the situation worse. :(

Yeah, I think I'll just ignore it.
Thanks :)

He needs to realize that the world is FULL of diversity and that if someone believes something different that what his parents told him, he needs to deal with it. You should bring up that when he's an adult he will without a doubt have at leas one one LGBT co-worker and that he needs to understand that there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

It can be a challenging state for gay and straight people to accept, I've found. I don't exactly get the whole 'bi people should die,' stance though. Does he feel the same way about gay people? What is it he doesn't like? Is this simply because he was burned by someone who was bisexual?

When you said that you'd 'like being bi,' are you saying that because you believe you are? I'm just a little confused, because the way you phrase it, it makes it sound like it's something you're aspiring to come, like how I want to one day be a television director.

He was dumped by a bisexual person, but he's not anti-gay I don't think... :/
I think he just doesn't like the idea of both attractions.
I'm not sure though.

I think I'm like 90% straight 10% gay.
And I meant that phrase in the way that I wouldn't mind being bi. I think I'd like finding both sexes attractive.
