Such a supremely dumb religion. If you’re ever bored, look into its history and be completely dumbfounded by the fact that people believe this shit in 2023.

    Religious history of Mormonism be like:

    Mormons: “If you are a POC sorry but you simply can’t get into heaven”

    U.S. Government: “Believe what you want but if you discriminate like that we are going to tax your church”

    Mormons, one day later: “You’ll never believe the news god just gave us straight from heaven itself-”

        Shit it's even wilder. "we believe that this old testament bad guy was black and the other people in the story including his parents and brother were white and therefore all black people are bad"

            Can you really imagine that the "you become the god of your own planet when you die" people would just lie to be racist? A truly inconceivable possibility lol

            Truly a grade a doof-ass religion

              I'm told that they recently ret-goned the "You get a planet when you die" thing, much to the dismay of people who didn't know their religion was a front for money laundering and creepy sex cults

              Becoming a god is good lore. One of the cool parts of Mormonism that sets it apart from other religions. Wish they leaned into it harder instead of concealing it and hiding it.

      Mormons: God commanded us to take multiple wives, Polygamy is the heavenly order of God's church on Earth

      US Government: We've expanded far enough West we have to deal with your creeps. We're going to topple your little state unless your prophet steps down as political leader, and you drop the polygamy stuff it's weirding people out

      Mormons: We have received a revelation from God....
