Weapons of Meme Destruction takes aim at society’s conventional opinions. By destroying memes of "respectable opinion" we arm people with their own weapons.
Our society:
1) treats morality, spirituality, and religion like poison
2) drugs kids for being "different"
3) removes all sense of child-like wonder from children and replaces it with automaton-like slogan memorization 1/6
Oh great! The guy co-signing Palestinian genocide (which includes thousands of actual Christians) and bombing schools full of little girls is a fantastic advocate for Mormon (non)Christian-ness.
Keep going with this hissy fit, @BasedMikeLee. You're doing great!
I just got off the phone with President Trump
We discussed the Pentagon’s “Christian list”
I won’t speak for him, but I’m thrilled about where this is heading
We’re most fortunate that President Trump (1) loves Latter-day Saints, and (2) is our commander in chief
Stay tuned

Mike Lee's complaint only works if everyone agrees to ignore what Mormonism actually teaches.
He wants the public to focus on the label while averting its eyes from the contents.
But theology is not judged by branding.
If it were, every cult in America could become orthodox by hiring a better marketing department.
Mike Lee belongs to a religion that teaches God the Father was once a man who progressed to godhood, that human beings may follow the same path, that Jesus and Lucifer share the same heavenly parentage, and that the highest aspiration of the faithful is not merely to worship God forever but to become gods themselves.
These are not minor disagreements within Christianity. These are different answers to the most basic questions Christianity asks.
Mike Lee knows this.
He was raised in Mormon royalty, educated in Mormon institutions, and formed by Mormon theology. His objection is not that the Pentagon misunderstood Mormonism. His objection is that the Pentagon accidentally described it accurately.
What makes the spectacle particularly amusing is that Mormon leaders spent generations insisting they were not what Mike Lee now demands to be called.
-Joseph Smith launched his movement by declaring every existing church on earth an abomination.
-Brigham Young mocked the God of Christianity as a being who "never did exist."
-John Taylor described Christianity as "a perfect pack of nonsense."
-Bruce McConkie warned that the doctrines of Christendom would damn men's souls.
-Gordon Hinckley openly admitted that the Christ worshiped by Mormons was not the Christ worshiped by traditional Christians.
For nearly two centuries Mormon leaders built a theological wall between themselves and Christianity brick by brick, sermon by sermon, book by book. Now Mike Lee appears before that same wall demanding to know who built it. The answer is simple: his own prophets did.
The deeper problem for Senator Lee is that Mormonism's truth claims are so spectacularly strange that they force a choice. Either they are true, in which case historic Christianity has been wrong for nearly two thousand years and Joseph Smith really did restore the gospel through golden plates, angelic visitations, sacred underwear, proxy baptisms for the dead, and a seer stone in a hat. Or they are false, in which case Mormonism is one of the most successful religious inventions in American history.
What it cannot be is ordinary Christianity.
The faith that emerged from Nicaea and Chalcedon has many internal disputes, but none of them involve exalted men becoming gods, planets populated by spirit children, or a deity residing near a star called Kolob.
Mike Lee is free to believe every one of those things.
What he is not free to do is pretend they are the same religion that produced the Apostles' Creed.
If only DHS had "security" in its name, then we would be secure! If only IRS had "service" in its name, then we would be served rather than extorted.
This is below room temperature IQ argumentation. I used to think he was a bright guy. 🤡

@BasedMikeLee Because Mormons do not believe in the Trinity, which was, and remains, a foundational belief of Christianity for over 1800 years until Joseph Smith made up his heretical theology.
Hope this helps.
@KosherChutzpah No, we "hate" those of you that make this bullshit claim, and by doing so, you only increase the numbers of people that "hate" you and any cause you support.
But, keep going sweetheart, you're doing great!
@carynannharlos Well, if your proposed "solution" to a system broken by excessive government intrusion is to demand more government intrusion, then your "solution" is not only "socialist," it is also supremely retarded and not remotely "libertarian."
I hope this helps.
@AuronMacintyre@BluffTheLotus@ComicDaveSmith@MLiamMcCollum This "ivory tower, politeness" shtick is as tired as it is two-faced.
Drop the pretense and just stand on the fact that you disagree. Repeating that you're "being gentle" is trending into pretentious prick territory. You're better than that... I thought.
@tsidpod@DissidentMedia What does it say about our society that these Q-tier talent, theater kids, still chasing the dream of celebrity, have enough confidence to leave their room, let alone post their shitty acting online?
At bare minimum, it shows we went way too far in eliminating bullying.
@jeremykauffman Slide 2, while it has its merits, cannot be trusted based on Trump's placement alone.
The treachery and betrayal he has displayed to cover for the fact that Netanyahu's cock is so far up his ass its tickling his uvula is some of the gayest faggotry in recorded history.
@dbongino Better watch who you call a "fraudulent piece of shit" while you are still in the process of cleaning crusted cheeto dust and Netanyahu jizz off your chin.
@ChaseForLiberty Agreed. But, what's even more embarrassing is that you losers then elected him Chair.
Stay useless (and embarrassing to all libertarians), my friend.
