The cartoon is funny, thanks for posting it.

But to me one of the mysteries of Mormonism is that its lies aren't even comforting.

It disturbs me but apparently, it is one of their more comforting lies.

- you can have all the answers to life's questions and never be wrong

- you can be guaranteed happy in this life and forever

- you can know the future

- you can have or at least benefit from magical powers

- your marriage will be perfect

- your children will turn out perfect

- there's a super wonderful reward at the end

- you're better than nonbelievers

- God likes you best....

Guess I might see all those as comforting if they didn't require:

- All your discretionary time

- Your family's unquestioning devotion

- Everything The Lord has blessed you with or will bless you with

And if it didn't come with the promise that if you screw up, Stan will eat your children, devour your soul, and you'll be cast out forever.

People don't work hard and pay up if they are comfortable.

"We live in a world, of beautiful lies, where we're fool enough to think we're wise."
