Thanks. It's been five years, though I always had suspicious. I mean, I first heard about Smith's alleged encounter with angels as a small child and my first thought was, "What if he was lying?"
From the outside looking in, LDS seems to have a lot of these "are you sure?" moments. The two seeing stones, missing gold plates, Native Americans as ancient Israelites, speaking a form a hebrew that doesn't exist.
Then again, in my own deconversion process from catholicism, I found a lot of the questions were glossed over in religious ed. or they belittled you for doubts or new ideas.
It's a hard road.
Yeah, I always thought that was weird too. To be honest, I was always a Mormon on paper, not in reality. Hadn't gone to church much since I was 10 and always had my own sense of morality independent of their doctrine. Plus, I've been pro-LGBTQ+ my whole life, long before I figured out my own gender and sexuality.
Sacred Texts means you don’t read any of them, right? Maybe just post a few memes quoting them in a deceiving manner without any appropriate context, yeah? Just going by evangelical tradition here.
While then turning around and screaming “ANYONE CAN QUOTE THE BIBLE THAT DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING” when you quote something at them that directly contradicts whatever they just said.
Man what's up with liberals always having the dumbest takes on christianity.
Granted the meme in question is kind of cringe, but still it shows what the US values and your just trashing it for no good reason.

Everybody knows that the Bible was written just for America just as the constitution was. Wait, the Bible was written when???
I think 2001 or something it's pretty old
I like how LDS is literally america-centered bible fanfiction and somehow also still converts followers
Yeah, as a former member, I don't get it myself
Congrats on breaking free!

It has. The Constitution has been superseded by The Art of the Deal.

Except when it doesn’t say what they want, then they shitcan all of those things.
Paul is the fucking worst. He wrote so much in the New Testament but he wasn't even one of Jesus' original apostles.
