@moonbeeaam Dopamine is an even better example of this imo. Its the main chemical of attention and drive, not the reward. Reward chemicals are generally ones nobody has heard of such as endorphins and endocannabinoids.
@AmericaExpanded It’s silly for these boomer mormon types to be so snarky at a pretty neutral post but at the same time we consider ourselves christian without any caveats. Our canon is different but you could definitionally exclude every denomination if you make the definition strict enough.
@AlexanderPayton The word addiction is overused, same as dopamine, but you are just being pedantic then. Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder exists and isn’t tied to morals similar to Gambling Disorder or even Cannabis Use Disorder in some ways.
A weird thing to tell people yah but still
@ottrTweets Any game tries the Tarkov idea that any person of any gear level can be beaten has to include some type of mechanic like this. It would actually be preferable to me if you could also be beaten from a well placed round from a futuristic black powder rifle from half a mile away.
@jared_shult This question is the LDS-fetishizing equivalent to one on the doctrine of theosis or exaltation. Though it can be rebuked similarly. There is no reason he couldn’t have visited anyone post resurrection. Or is he not powerful enough? And if he is, then is he not loving enough?

@spencer_askew No, just an intellectually dishonest way of framing an opinion on doctrine that is more nuanced than they suggest. It is perfectly fine to personally interpret the doctrine in this way if they want - it isn’t necessary for salvation - but they refuse to relent even an inch
@TheEbonyMaw@LDS_Dems This is not doctrine, its an opinion that this account is arguing for by framing it as a consensus. There is no reading I have ever had of our scripture or materials that tries argue that the transgression of adam and eve was not sinful in nature - regardless of its necessity.
@memeticsisyphus Rightfully so. Its a confident misreading of the theology of the faith and presents it as fact - undoubtably coming from someone who has no ability to update their cognitive model when presented with new info. Ironically similar to the reactionary protestants responding.
@fleshsimulator Careful fleshie they have been constructing a special Room of Eternal Conscious Torment™️ in the Salt Lake temple for five years now to put you in if you keep acting up
@xanadusoul@ShitpostRock The “14 y.o.” myth has been debunked for like 200 years no intelligent person would actually try and argue it in good faith and you’d know that if you knew her name, the context of the “marriage”, or that they never lived together at all. Try a serious position next time.
@luinalaska Realizations like this always highlight to me that other Christians - especially outspoken ones - often critique and respond to an extremely fetishized version of the LDS faith that is so comically wrong and vitriolic that they abandon any serious discussion before it begins.
