@defense_of_fam Seriously, have people not read the scripture where God decreed “yay, it is very important to me that women shall wear flowy raiments to church and the men shall wear a two-legged raiment, because these are the kind of things I care about.” guys, the way we dress is all made up
@bi02247255 Another reason so many LDS folks are so devoutly conservative is because we had a prophet in Ezra Taft Benson who was literally a far right conspiracy theorist. Just google “Ezra Taft Benson and the making of the Mormon right.”

I’m sorry JT, but I’m deleting ur contact info bc HALF the time when I type the word “it,” Siri thinks “oh, Matt’s probably trying to type the name of that guy in the contacts named JT. Matt talks about JT in like all his sentences. Good thing we also fix it when he types ‘it.’”
Draw a circle in the middle of a piece of paper. That circle represents all truth. Now draw a shape on the piece of paper that represents your religion.
Utah Republicans: How do we scare conservatives into not voting for a conservative independent candidate? We only know how to scare them into not voting for Democrats
Mike Lee: I have an idea! Let’s just call him a democrat and say “liberal agenda” over & over. That always works!
@Icy_Wings@juliasasine It is technically illegal, but there are still some insurance companies who either have religious exemption or have grandfathered status. It’s frustrating.
@lindsayli@juliasasine Please do. At the very least you’ll know you’re not alone. And I also think you should share your story with them. Needs to be heard.
@lindsayli@juliasasine Did I already ask you if you follow @dmba_stories on Instagram. They share stories like you’re. There are over 150 stories on there right now.
