Mormons are one of the only religious groups that genuinely deserves persecution

As someone who was raised Mormon, fully agree. The Book Of Mormon is like if evangelicals got to write their own bible fan fiction. BoM specifically states that people with darker skin were cursed by God. Being against race mixing is still alive and well in the church.

Reminiscing about being born and raised by my mixed race parents happily enough. I had to learn gradually as an adult how people have (strong) opinions about the race of their partner. And then another layer of brain worms, caring about the race of the partner of people they don’t even know.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been friends with Mormons who were cool and an ex Mormon who fucking owns.

That explains so much about the Mormon kids I knew in school and their preferences when we were out partying

I disagree, they share a lot more with Jewish extremist groups than they do with evangelicals. Insular, extremely hierarchical, rules based. Evangelicals are 100% id, whereas mormons and jewish extremists are a lot more pseudo-rationalists who could recite you 500 pages of “theory” about their madeup bullshit.

mormons in their own internal doctrine also directly compare themselves to the Israelites, name themselves after the Tribes of Israel in the temple and believe they are a chosen, peculiar people who are destined to be persecuted and outside of mainstream society, much like Jewish extremists do. Mormons explicitly reject a bunch of christianity and embrace a neo-Jewish eschatology

I remember hearing Mormons jokingly saying that if the LDS church isn’t true, then it’s Judaism that’s true instead. Like in a common Mormon worldview, Jews are the 2nd closest to “getting it”. Mormons take an almost Islam or Jewish approach to Christ as well, rejecting the trinity, rejecting that Christ is God and instead embracing a godhead where Christ is the literal son of God (like all humans are children of god) and an entirely separate being, and the individual of Jesus was just the eldest and most righteous of God’s children.

Southern baptists and all those crazy Zionist Christians groups are included in this too. Basically most Catholics are ok enough (if they listen to their Pope! And adult converts are suss but whatever). I don’t know enough Eastern Orthodox to have an opinion on them, which might say enough by itself. The goddamn Protestants though, especially American flavors, holy fuck man.

If they’re listening to the Pope they’re going to be amicable to talk with communists in order to lib them up, will be passively tolerant of gay people so long as they stay in their lane, and will burn trans people at the stake for their ‘ugly ideology’.

…And sweep pedophilic abuse under the rug.

It’s so sad that he’s probably objectively the best Pope, pretty low bar the clear.

Raised catholic and agree. Usually people just pay lip service ( lib service ) but they don’t hold convictions that would take effort during everyday life.

Protestantism is such a wide spectrum ranging from “I only go to church to get married and buried, the priest believes in God so that I don’t have to and if you’re more into it than this then you’re really weird” to "you go to literal hell if you have any fun ever and God also wants you to pet a rattlesnake "

I feel like I’m pretty familiar with protestants, but can you explain this one?
