Mormons are one of the only religious groups that genuinely deserves persecution
As someone who was raised Mormon, fully agree. The Book Of Mormon is like if evangelicals got to write their own bible fan fiction. BoM specifically states that people with darker skin were cursed by God. Being against race mixing is still alive and well in the church.
Reminiscing about being born and raised by my mixed race parents happily enough. I had to learn gradually as an adult how people have (strong) opinions about the race of their partner. And then another layer of brain worms, caring about the race of the partner of people they don't even know.
For what it's worth, I've been friends with Mormons who were cool and an ex Mormon who fucking owns.
Lmfao with religion you can just make anything up since none of it is real anyways
BoM is basically how "religious" Jews practice Zionism
huh?
stupidly racist
Conveniently coincides with white supremacy
Have an omnipotent creator god that is merciful and loving but also damns people for their race/skin color while preferring others for their race/skin color
Both are heavy with colonialism
Just to name a few
Being against race mixing is still alive and well in the church
That explains so much about the Mormon kids I knew in school and their preferences when we were out partying
I disagree, they share a lot more with Jewish extremist groups than they do with evangelicals. Insular, extremely hierarchical, rules based. Evangelicals are 100% id, whereas mormons and jewish extremists are a lot more pseudo-rationalists who could recite you 500 pages of "theory" about their madeup bullshit.
mormons in their own internal doctrine also directly compare themselves to the Israelites, name themselves after the Tribes of Israel in the temple and believe they are a chosen, peculiar people who are destined to be persecuted and outside of mainstream society, much like Jewish extremists do. Mormons explicitly reject a bunch of christianity and embrace a neo-Jewish eschatology
I remember hearing Mormons jokingly saying that if the LDS church isn't true, then it's Judaism that's true instead. Like in a common Mormon worldview, Jews are the 2nd closest to "getting it". Mormons take an almost Islam or Jewish approach to Christ as well, rejecting the trinity, rejecting that Christ is God and instead embracing a godhead where Christ is the literal son of God (like all humans are children of god) and an entirely separate being, and the individual of Jesus was just the eldest and most righteous of God's children.
wrong, there are tons of other predominantly kkkrakkker religions
Death to America
The kkkrackkkerisms of the Mormons are the worst of all mainstream religion
i'd say evangelicals are much worse. less professional, more meanspirited and hatefilled
Mormons make it a thing to end up as FBI and intelligence. It’s gross
I really dont understand this part of Mormon culture, but they do love to become feds
Honestly, probably to stop investigations into the LDS - Scientology tried (try?) something similar. See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil bullshit.
I'd feel different if this weren't more grass roots than that. The Mormons who become feds are fully sold on being feds, there is no stutter in what they understand. Mormons don't believe they're being evil, they think they're the good ones even though their beliefs are racist through and through.
Evangelicals are more widespread, but Mormons have extraordinarily explicit racism and fascism in the book far beyond any abrahamic religion. Part of being Mormon is accepting that brown people were literally cursed by God, it's what they believe the mark of Cain is. Or how it is an inherently violent religion, specifically laying out a prophecy where a special guy comes back and united the Mormons under the war banner of heaven. Like I'd wager there are more Messiah delusions amongst Mormons than any other religion, it really is that bad. It's why everybody has a compound
BoM is a guidebook to create a patriarchal ethnostate in no uncertain terms. It is an attempt at wiping indigenous history as well. Abrahamic religion is broken at its core, but nowhere near as broken as Mormons. There are so many horribly bigoted things you have to accept as fact to be a Mormon.
Southern baptists and all those crazy Zionist Christians groups are included in this too. Basically most Catholics are ok enough (if they listen to their Pope! And adult converts are suss but whatever). I don't know enough Eastern Orthodox to have an opinion on them, which might say enough by itself. The goddamn Protestants though, especially American flavors, holy fuck man.
If they're listening to the Pope they're going to be amicable to talk with communists in order to lib them up, will be passively tolerant of gay people so long as they stay in their lane, and will burn trans people at the stake for their 'ugly ideology'.
...And sweep pedophilic abuse under the rug.
It's so sad that he's probably objectively the best Pope, pretty low bar the clear.
Raised catholic and agree. Usually people just pay lip service ( lib service ) but they don't hold convictions that would take effort during everyday life.
The goddamn Protestants though, especially American flavors, holy fuck man.
Protestantism is such a wide spectrum ranging from "I only go to church to get married and buried, the priest believes in God so that I don't have to and if you're more into it than this then you're really weird" to "you go to literal hell if you have any fun ever and God also wants you to pet a rattlesnake "
God also wants you to pet a rattlesnake
I feel like I'm pretty familiar with protestants, but can you explain this one?
That's pretty crazy.
Jamie Coots, a pastor who subsequently died from a snakebite, said, "Handlers get bitten all the time, and every few years someone dies"
Holy shit that should not be happening. What zero ~~theory~~ training does to a mfer.
scientology, evangelicals, mormons, white southern baptists, jehovah's witnesses, trad caths...
Track your OT really well!! Twice per month pay periods make it less intuitive to calculate any OT hours.
dont worry, we've never gotten OT, we have a rigid 40 hours a week max
mormons more like MORONS
The angel Moroni more like MACAROOOOOONI
A long long time ago, perhaps before some here were born (holy fuck), I worked for UPS in their freight division. I mostly drove a forklift, but also did everything else involved in unloading railcar/truck trailers and moving the contents to their next trailer to get to their intended destination. Job sucked shit. No union then. Pay was shit.
Anyway, they had on the job ad and sold it during the "interview" (the real interview was just showing up day 1 and having passed your piss test- everyone got the job because turnover was like 80%) about getting paid every week. I never cared that much, but as I got older and had others jobs I remembered getting paid every week and missed it. It was nice if you worked more hours in a week to then get paid for those hours very quickly. Getting paid every two weeks or even every month only once doesn't really matter much if your income is very steady, your hours never change, stuff like that since you just budget everything anyway.
But with a more precarious job, and that UPS job certainly was, the weekly pay did matter (we didn't get paid time off but there were multiple times my friends and I just straight up didn't show up for a week and then came back- no questions ever asked, lmao. Of course we didn't get paid, but they needed workers so much they literally never said a word. It was nice for late teens/early 20s). And I know the older guys there liked it too. I can't imagine in modern times when payments are all automated and fully digital that this cuts costs for them. It just seems like a "no, we do it this way" typical small business owner tyrant activity. UPS managed to give out physical checks on a weekly basis which obviously does have a cost associated. Distributing pay via ACH, to my knowledge, doesn't have fees associated with it. Maybe there's some fee banks charge for that depending on how much money and how many recipients, I dunno. Seems unlikely and also negligible if it does exist.
I'm 99% sure the payroll service we use has a monthly subscription to auto-take payroll tax and submit tax forms. Not only could I change my monthly check to weekly if I wanted, I could arbitrarily run payroll. At the end of the year I could then shoot a CSV over to the tax software and the consistency of the payroll has never made a difference for us.
gas station
I thought this was the name of some mormon sex act
Pretty sure “soaking in gas” is primarily a Buddhist thing.
Yuck mormons 🤮🤮🤮
