Let’s Go!

"we are made in god's image and are stewards of the world" and "we are animals that evolved from a common ancestor" are facts that can and do coexist.

Hoping to actually start annotating the Book of Mormon today and looking at some of the resources you guys sent me!

While I do that, I thought it’d be kinda fun to ask what the biggest myths about Mormonism are. This can range anywhere from dumb things you’ve heard people say to actual misconceptions/misinformation.

I wanna like- clear any of the junk I’ve heard about the religion from my head. Trying to avoid falling into a gross echo chamber.

silly!!!

for my fellow lds folks, check out emma nissen!! you are obviously also welcome to check her out if you’re not, but she is lds iirc so that’s more where her music is based. she does christian music in a jazz style, and i love it!! these are some of my favorites of hers:

you don’t hate modern religious music, you hate megachurch worship bands that play to packed stadiums and roll in cash while writing the most stereotypical and soulless lyrics imaginable

Hi Sammy

you want to know why salt lake city was founded??? its bcs everywhere else the early saints tried to settle they were violently driven out of. the state of missouri had a fucking death warrant on them and other states were only marginally better. they were assaulted, tarred and feathered, their houses burned down. there's a reason utah exists and it's because ever other fucking state wanted my ancestors DEAD for their religion

a customer today looked at me, said “y’know? i think you’ll appreciate this,” and pulled his shirt down to show me his supernatural tattoo. calling me a slur would’ve been easier

“Average doctor commits 10 crimes a year” factoid actually just a statistical error. Average doctor commits 0 crimes per year. Crimes Gregory, who hates his supervisors and commits 27 crimes each shift, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
