@RayDomano @IfindRetards It’s like a tale told by an idiot: full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

@IfindRetards It only gets worse..

Imagine being in a room full of these insufferable retards.

@JosephAlbrigo @jaredadairbell How to read charitably: ask real questions, rather than making accusations; be curious, generous, and thoughtful in discourse; read for context and make limited, rational interpretive claims; be honest about ambiguity and where the text leaves things unresolved.

@Eurokipper @jaredadairbell How can one charitably read the parts that say black skin is a curse?

Are Mormons RACIST?

@JosephAlbrigo @jaredadairbell If you’re going to make big claims about what you identify as “aggressive racism,” at least account for the countervailing facts of the book. You don’t seem to even know what the book says.

@Eurokipper @jaredadairbell I should have been more precise, the black skin is the result of curse, it is not the curse itself. Still seems pretty aggressively racist to me tho

@JosephAlbrigo @jaredadairbell 33, continued: and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen⁠; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile.

@JosephAlbrigo @jaredadairbell Also contains this: 2 Nephi, verse 33: For none of these iniquities come of the Lord; for he doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men; and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness;

@JosephAlbrigo @jaredadairbell For others, note that in the BoM narrative, this is indeed a miraculous curse, with spiritual significance, of a particular narrow group of people in the story, with a particular narrative necessity. No claim is made of other peoples and no generalized principle. Context matters.

@JosephAlbrigo @jaredadairbell Post the text and context if you want to be open, honest, and transparent.

@JosephAlbrigo @jaredadairbell No, it’s not. Only interpreting it using the least charitable intent and hyper-generalizing can you reach that conclusion. Read it and see.

@jaredadairbell It seems to be built into the religion in some sense. I mean, the BoM is pretty aggressively racist, right? I'm not saying individual Mormons are racist, just to be clear, only that the religion is by virtue of the scriptures and historic teachings it claims

@Scott_Wiener Yes: we absolutely need to protect girls and women from both gender-confused men and *those who masquerade as gender-confused men* for access to women-only spaces. If you don’t understand this, you’re part of the problem.

It’s about to become a felony in Idaho for a trans person to use the restroom. State prison for using the restroom. Let that sink in. These people have no limits.

@anothertry72076 @JWhitebread1 @benshapiro You do you, but read the book if you haven’t, in the truth-seeking spirit. The Book of Mormon is a wonderful book that has changed my life for the better repeatedly. Highly recommended for those who want to draw closer to Jesus.

@JWhitebread1 @benshapiro Bro, Mormonism is a false religion and Joseph Smith made up the Book of Mormon out of whole cloth. That's not a doctrinal dispute, that's a fact. So insofar as false gods overtake real religion, yep, demonic.

Hey @benshapiro a question. If I said that the Talmud was "demonic" and that I wished I could burn every Talmud in the world, I imagine that would not be regarded as fair criticism of the Jewish faith in your opinion and would be regarded as bigoted, correct? So why is it okay for Matt Fradd to say that about the Book of Mormon? If I shared anti-Semitic materials, by known anti-Semites that deliberately mischaracterized and slandered the Jewish faith on a podcast and represented those views as accurate, that would be wrong, right? Well, your boy Matt Fradd just did that on his podcast, sharing a widely discredited cartoon from the anti-Mormon movie, The Godmakers, that claims to accurately represent LDS theology. You have a real problem at the DW. What are you going to do about it?

@vcrvft @20blakeBlake @JWhitebread1 @benshapiro Creedal Christians don’t believe the same things as primitive Christians. Christ and the apostles were non-Trinitarians. I’m with them.

@20blakeBlake @JWhitebread1 @benshapiro They both taught that what the early church taught was totally wrong and trust me bro an angel told me otherwise

“El fascismo, el nazismo, el comunismo y el socialismo son sólo variaciones superficiales del mismo tema monstruoso -Colectivismo -” Ayn Rand

There must be some mistake. I was screamed at, called a Nazi and a bigot, and told I was "on the wrong side of history".

Like an appreciation of progress, reading and literacy are among the things that are good but cognitively unnatural. That is, they go against our evolved nature. We didn’t evolve with print; it was a recent invention. Reading, for many of us, has become so second nature that we just assume it’s the most natural way of getting information. But what we’ve seen, especially in the last 10 years, when video has become so cheap because of the cloud computing revolution and the broadband revolution, is that a lot of people, unlike us, much prefer to listen and watch than to read. You just see this: when I go to Google and ask a basic question about how to unstick my printer or solve a problem, I get like five videos. And I just want a paragraph that would solve it. I don’t want to see Seth saying, “Hi, welcome to my show. If you like it, subscribe and give it a like.” So just help me solve the problem. But clearly there’s something unusual about me, because people are going for the video. And the massive availability of video—of TikTok, of YouTube—means that people may not be getting the practice or putting in the effort into literacy, which we have reason to believe was one of the drivers of the Flynn effect and of cognitive sophistication in general. @HumanProgress

@RealMattFradd Every person that is still subscribed to the Daily Wire, Needs to cancel their subscription

@RealMattFradd No. But no one needs your video to know that. The question after watching is “Is @RealMattFradd BRAINDEAD?” Bad-faith attempts to demean and “destroy” others’ deeply held faith in Jesus Christ and to lead others into deception is called “sowing discord.” Wicked men do this.

Are Mormons RACIST?

@PTSPentax @RealMattFradd Gotta love Brother Brigham, the Lion of the Lord.

“Every time they persecute and try to overcome this people, they elevate us, weaken their own hands, and strengthen the hands and arms of this people. And every time they undertake to lessen our number, they increase it. And when they try to destroy the faith and virtue of this people, the Lord strengthens the feeble knees, and confirms the wavering in faith and power in God, in light, and intelligence. Righteousness and power with God increase in this people in proportion as the Devil struggles to destroy it… Let us alone, and we will send Elders to the uttermost parts of the earth, and gather out Israel, wherever they are; and if you persecute us, we will do it the quicker, because we are naturally dull when let alone, and are disposed to take a little sleep, a little slumber, and a little rest. If you let us alone, we will do it a little more leisurely; but if you persecute us, we will sit up nights to preach the Gospel.” ~ Brigham Young

Out NOW: Catholic apologist, Joe Heschmeyer joins me to absolutely DESTROY Mormonism (in a nice way).
