Science has a specific set of blinders that rules out God. You can’t answer a scientific question with “cuz God” because that defeats the whole purpose. That does not mean there is nothing outside the box of science. Science (as an institution) observes the principle of non-overlapping magisterium for practical reasons. When those reasons become personal then science is hobbled by the same

I can see Wendy as Nefertiti in a comedy version of the Ten Commandments. Russell would still be a prophet. “Pharaoh, the Lord does not approve of your attire. I suggest consulting with your bishop regarding your urge to wear drag. Also, Jesus is very upset that you have put my people in bondage. That’s my job!”

How can vaccinate hesitantly be widespread if it’s only 33%? This brings to mind the Milgram experiment, where 2/3 completely defer to authority. The numbers are the same, which means Mormonism probably had nothing to do with me being a conformist asshole. 33% of Mormons rejecting authority is not impressive, but at least it shows that they aren’t all blind followers.

If you put an oil can to your ear, you can hear the freeway. Whatever happened to sustaining your church leaders? Your mom doesn’t seem very culty. Probably wouldn’t be a good North Korean. Might not cry when she sees a picture of Dear Leader. My Dear Leader turned into Dear John. I just haven’t gotten around to writing the letter.

To me, Mormonism is a funhouse of distorted mirrors. You see what’s in the mirror and think it’s reality.

It’s sad for her too, having hopes that Mormon craziness wouldn’t ruin her relationship with her inlaws. I’m happy to have Mormonism in my rear view mirror, but this makes me want to stop, throw it in reverse, and run over it a few times.

We don’t really know how Joseph Smith created the Book of Abraham. Since what Joseph wrote is completely different from what was on the papyri, it only shows the power and mystery of God. In the end, the BoA is true because Joe said it was. All that’s needed is to twist the facts until the desired belief is achieved.

I don’t think she made her decision in a vacuum. There could have been Mormons in the loop giving bad advice. Talking about how eternal salvation is in danger cuz who will take her to the CK? Well, that’s some serious stupid. But don’t most Mormons believe that? John Wayne had a saying: Life is hard. It’s harder if you’re stupid.

He’s saying you treat the medical talking heads like clergy. You give them the same blind obedience you used to give Church leaders. Take masks. Do they work? Not work? There is no standard for masks. Any old cloth will do. The cheapest dust mask from the hardware store will do. They don’t care what the masks are made of because they know it’s theater.

Joseph also sent a message requesting the Nauvoo militia to come bust him out. That message was not delivered. He did not wear his garments that day, which in theory would have magically protected him from the hail of bullets when they aired out his cell.
