Well I don’t mind the happy and cheerful part. For me, after I stopped believing the truth claims (I think it’s obvious the Book of Mormon is a work of fiction), it became too hard sitting there listening to takes from people who still hadn’t.
Don’t get me wrong I’m still a huge fan of the Book of Mormon, but I majored in English (at BYU ?), so I know the true value of good, inspiring fiction. If that perspective were adopted by the church, I think I’d be fine going back. But due to the nature of churches, that perspective isn’t tolerated very well.
That, and I’ve found a slew of friends since I left that I party with every week so I already have a robust community aspect in my life so I no longer yearn for that aspect of it (humans are definitely pack animals who crave fellowship).
But nothing pisses me off more than ignorant never-Mormons spouting hate and ignorance about the Church. As you can tell I won’t hesitate to go to bat for them.
We agree on the Mormon haters. My dad was a convert and his family in Minnesota held a prayer meeting to save him and my mom from the evil religion. Even when I was inactive I stood up for the church too.
Not spouting hate. Seeking truth, like all should be on this site. It all comes down to the fact that when we're all helping we're happy. And I went to a far better school than BYU so not afraid of going toe-to-toe with a BYU English major.
I don’t care what school you went to or whether or not you’re scared to “go toe to toe” with me. The fact is I know personally what goes on in the Mormon temples and you don’t. Even if you went to Harvard it wouldn’t change that. Know when you’re bested. I’m not a Mormon. Im not arguing that Mormonism is better than your religion. I’m simply saying your claim is bullshit and I know from actual experience. Provide proof of your claims that pedophile activity is happening in Mormon temples or shut the fuck up, cause you don’t know shit about fuck on this topic.
Wow. Triggered easily. Makes me laugh at how easy that is. Learn some discipline, snowflake. When you have to result to angry swearing to carry your point you know you have no argument.
Logic obviously isn't your strong suit. I get that. This purpose of this board is to seek truth. We dont give a flying sacrament tray that you are a self-proclaimed expert on what goes on in a Mormon temple because--BY YOUR OWN ADMISSION--YOU AREN'T MORMON AND HAVEN'T BEEN INSIDE A MORMON TEMPLE FOR YEARS. We go where the evidence takes us on this board. It can be tough. If you don't like it, go back to your safe space in Primary.
There it is folks. No proof of shit. Baseless claims. Caught, now trying to deflect just like his liberal friends from his hot shot liberal college taught him. Pathetic.
