It only makes sense that the only major religion to be born in America (I’m not counting all those splinter sects of weirdo evangelical branches) would have becoming a small business entrepreneur start-up of godliness at the core of its theology.

Right, Mormons are the American equivalent of Roman Catholics for Rome, the synthesis of Christianity with its imperial context taken to its logical end

I wouldn’t call Scientology a major religion. No credibly survey or source has ever put Scientology membership globally higher than five figures, whereas the LDS says they have 17 million members worldwide. Which may be inflated, but even if they’re padding the numbers a bit that’s still hundreds of times larger than Scientology.

Scientology is good at being noisy and intimidating and having famous members, but it’s never translated into a real mass movement religion.

Don’t forget the whole part about Jesus coming to the United States on a magic submarine, so technically the land belongs to white people because Native people are red because they’re tainted by the devil

This to not to be confused with black people being black because of the Curse of Ham

Because Ham refused to look at his dad’s naked body while he was taking a bath, got it.

Yes, the Curse of Ham is not a curse related to cured pork products. That’s an Italian curse related to the story of St. Anthony of Soprano.

Yes.

Mormon religion is utterly bizarre, and the only stranger thing is that they’ve found legitimacy amongst Christian Fascists. I suppose Utah was so remote that by the time there was strength to deal with them the will to do so had faded.

I saw some kids who had been kidnapped by their Mormon family rescued the other day so there’s still some power they haven’t completely bought
