“All you need is love...” ex-Mormon, atheist activist, humanist. I’m a human being who is interested in talking to other human beings about their beliefs.
The other day I was walking across a busy bridge in my city, and stopped to enjoy the view of the river down below. As I was standing there, lost in thought, someone drove by and yelled “JUMP!” out their window at me. I was rightly appalled. No matter who you are, ...
@thekwakuel Well done video!👍 I liked parallels between nazism/fascism and Christian history... however as a non-believer I personally fail to see a difference between the murders and genocides and rapes and enslavement that are carried out in the Old Testament, and the ones you mentioned.
@LDSGeek This is a “no true Scotsman” fallacy my friend. This argument would never be good enough to convince a non-member, why should it be good enough for you?
@pnwkww@krisis86 I must say as an exmormon that I appreciate your honesty! It’s refreshing to see an active member that doesn’t just follow blindly like so many others
@micah_1278 Mormonism is a textbook cult. The crazy thing is they did it so well that it worked. They culted so good that many of their members don’t socialize much with nonmembers, and therefore have a feeling that they can’t leave because they don’t know anyone else
@pnwkww@krisis86 I appreciate your candor! And yes I think we can easily make a distinction between what the Bible and Book of Mormon teach, and what we just heard at general conference
@pnwkww Not trying to troll here, but if you don’t mind me asking, have you considered the possibility that the church is in fact not true, and that the brethren (the only ones who could possibly know that), are shifting the practices to increase church activity and convert retention?
@Exmo_Lex Shortly after getting married I lost my faith, but not till after we moved in with her parents. It was the longest year of my life. They straight up told her she should divorce me, and she almost did! But all is well now, we moved out and worked things out 😎
