Family. Progressive Humanist. Atheist. Mormonism still exists?! Theocracy bad.

@MrBeecher All the world’s a stage?

@SJHollist @ldsfootnotes False. As the prophet, Brigham Young said, “Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so.”

@MrBeecher I want to be a cool uncle. And a guy who lives near a cool coffee shop and bar. And the beach.

@Cultural__Hall 😆 seems legit

[SkepticDad @skeptic_dad]

@Cultural__Hall Your spiritual placenta?

[SkepticDad @skeptic_dad]

You guys ever need to just pretend Mormonism doesn’t exist? Like, for your own peace? Yeah. I’m there.

@hollywelker @whitecatprophcy I don’t know what a healthy approach to sexuality looks like. I probably never will. Thanks to the church’s marrow-deep indoctrination.

@RussRyanLaw @sltrib @calvinjburke I think it’s responding to the rallying cry of Christian nationalists and conservatives: fear. “Drag queens and transgender bathrooms are coming for us all if BYU doesn’t stand up to keep us safe from…knowing that stuff exists and scares us…?”

@gayvidbednar Mormon: Here’s why I believe.
Exmormon: Here’s why that doesn’t work for me and might not work for you based on your stated values.
Mormon: Hmm. I have no answer to that. I’ll just keep believing anyway.

@KeneAkers Why is everything about BYU gross?

[SkepticDad @skeptic_dad]

@MrBeecher Hahaha. Yup.

[SkepticDad @skeptic_dad]

@TisStef Created a universe but can’t handle the word “fuck”?

[SkepticDad @skeptic_dad]

@ryanisms @sltrib Right? Where’s the downside though? If confiding in the bishop just makes it possible for an abuser to assuage his guilt enough to keep abusing a child for years, who cares if they confess to them or not?

[SkepticDad @skeptic_dad]

@iamAtheistGirl My favorite is when people argue there must have been a Jesus because there were Christians. I mean, we know there were Christians. We have them now. There’s no debate as to whether Christians exist(ed). So…😳🙄

[SkepticDad @skeptic_dad]

@ldsfootnotes @anotheraubrey Guys, come on. The beauty of modern revelation is that the modern corporation can do whatever it wants because the prophet’s vague impressions and confirmation bias is the same as “thus sayeth the lord” from 150 years ago.

[SkepticDad @skeptic_dad]

@samstein OMG how dare he! And while he was there he golfed at his own golf course, right? Dozens of times? No? Huh.

[SkepticDad @skeptic_dad]

@Sunburnz1 @blake_surerus Given the context I have to laugh at the “pride blinds us to what is true” line. Dude. Really? You claim to have special insight given from the creator of the universe that contradicts all available evidence and you think I’m the one blinded by pride. 😳🙄

[SkepticDad @skeptic_dad]

@Sunburnz1 @blake_surerus I understand the story. I also can see it’s completely made up. Look, I’m not going to try to convince you to stop being Mormon. The information is all out there. If you keep being Mormon in 2022, I think you just deserve to be taken advantage of. Enjoy.

@knightofscience @maklelan The evangelical response to Mitt Romney’s presidential run is all the evidence you need. The sad part to me is the LDS leadership pandering to these groups now after divine revelation that “all their creeds are an abomination in his sight”.
