For years I thought "Bring Em Young University" was a joke about the mormon practice of marrying girls to old men. Come to find out the religion was started by a guy "Brigham Young" after whom an actual university is named and nobody thinks that's weird at all.

I thought "Joe Mansion" was some kind of bizarro world "Joe the Plumber". Maybe joking about rich conservatives putting on affectations of being working class. He is actually a politician and his name is spelled "Manchin" and some people seem to think he's on the left.

    I don't know if this is common knowledge but the spookiest thing about this religion is that when you die you become a god of your very own universe.

      Even worse: that only applies to men.

      Women literally have no purpose in the Mormon faith outside of being baby printing machines for all eternity if they follow all the Mormon sacraments.

          Yeah "godhood" for Mormon women is literally just still being married to your husband and being a good little baby machine for his universe.

          Fucking disgusting religion.
