@Cephii1 get a Chia pet

You are not allowed to have children. What are you going to do?

@RandomLDS Is this what it looks like?

Critics: ‘Your church changed something!’ Us: ‘Yes, that’s what happens when God is still talking.’

@stackerco Shame Blame Deception Gaslighting Emotional manipulation Things that religions often do

What makes you angry?

@BrianJohnRiddle @pimomormon Faith is not quantifiable. It's a subjective measurement of one's confidence in being right in whatever ideology they are emotionally drawn to (most often the one you just so happened to be raised in). Anyone can claim faith in any # of theologies; none have yet to be proven.

@NoDisassemble5 @pimomormon Have more faith. Get into the scriptures and feel the influence of the Holy Ghost in your like who testifies of truth. I promise it will be worth your time to build a relationship with Him, Jesus Christ, and our Father in Heaven. Truth will be hard to find in the coming days.

Is this supposed to be a revelation?

Christians: “Why don’t you let people believe what they want to?” Because people who use their religious beliefs as a basis for decisions made that effect the entire population, should not be trusted with that power

@MattTestifies faith is built upon confirmation bias, deception, and feelings.

Critics of my faith sometimes talk like Latter-day Saints are uninformed. What an embarrassing read! This is a faith that asks for your whole life, not a casual Sunday appearance twice a year. This is a faith built on daily discipleship, scripture study, prayer, service, covenants, and sacrifice. Many of us served missions, had serious conversations with people from all kinds of beliefs, faced hard questions honestly, and learned to trust God more than the noise. Disagree if you want. Just do not confuse conviction with ignorance. #SaintsOnX

@mnhouseDFL is gravity in the Bible? I guess not so you can’t trust gravity.

GOP Rep. Mary Franson says she's not worried about climate change because it's not in the Bible: "If you've read the Good Book, you know how it ends, and it's not with climate change." How can we expect Republicans to do serious work when they're so proud about ignoring science?

For 200k years man lives Avg life expectancy 25 yrs Killings over food, land, etc Heaven watches from above w/ indifference, until 3k-4k years ago, and only on certain parts of the world intervenes, w/ plagues, human sacrifices, to get ppl to be moral 😄 youtube.com/shorts/Hh-Mfyq…

@RigdonNancy3 @jonathanplumb @stackerco

@jonathanplumb @stackerco Ah man. I see what Plumb were getting today

This is hilarious. One asks if we get our “own” planet (as in, I am the owner). The other clarifies that we will make new worlds as part of a collective effort, following the pattern Heavenly Father established. The former allows us to do whatever we want. The latter confines us to God’s system alone. If you can’t see the difference, you have a genuine reading compression issue, and should probably study until you fix it.

@surskitmaxxing @sister_slay @pimomormon @PiousParaDoxed or maybe it’s that iron age men made God in their image, incorporating many of man’s ideas, beliefs, values, morals, etc., from that era.

@sister_slay @pimomormon @PiousParaDoxed A non-believer might say that the Hebrews wrote that to show that their god was mightier than their neighboring gods. Maybe a believer who conclude that God is darker than we like to think. IDK.

He’s not even accepted now. Dead prophets aren’t accepted by the church they led for years 😂

Genesis 38 was conveniently skipped over in come follow me this year. God kills two people, one for his wickedness, and one for ejaculating onto the ground. I wonder why Mormon leaders didn’t want us to understand that side of god?

@unknownbwqcp @DeeWaynee94 so then prayer is useless at making any effective change in the real world

@DeeWaynee94 What? Who claimed prayer changes Gods mind?

If prayer changes god’s mind, he’s not perfect. If it doesn’t, you’re emailing a brick wall.

@JustinAlex12639 @DeeWaynee94 So functionally no different than meditation, only with meditation you don’t think you’re communicating with a divine overlord

@DeeWaynee94 “The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.” ― Soren Kierkegaard

@savedbygrace005 @DeeWaynee94 God is nonsensical

@DeeWaynee94 Nonsensical statement. Make a better argument. Poor theory at best.

@ArieMoby @DeeWaynee94 “biblical answers” is answers from man, since the Bible came from man, just as every other religious text

@DeeWaynee94 You talk a lot about God, but you don't want the biblical answers. In the bible we are allowed to see God as a Father. A Father has interaction with his children. He is not some solid rock that knows nothing about love.

@UtahBrad @OchoZaco @ZionsCampfire or… It was all in his head

@NoDisassemble5 @OchoZaco @ZionsCampfire He has had those engagements, he just needs to remember.

I had knowledge and I left, so where am I going? Outer darkness. Say that again, I’m hard of hearing. Outer darkness. Oh damn, I guess I better stay.

The fact that Mormons believe marriage last beyond death is still mind-boggling to me.

@SoberSamAdams @TalonTarone @OchoZaco I don’t know is the best you’re going to get. God doesn’t work w/ my understanding of reality, it’s just one more thing that doesn’t have a causal explanation for, also is something man has been claiming to exist for 1000s of years. Not a strong track record

@NoDisassemble5 @TalonTarone @OchoZaco You say all this then refuse to present any real position. It’s all theoretical fairy dust.

@SoberSamAdams @TalonTarone @OchoZaco black-and-white thinking is common amongst religious types. in any given scenario there’s almost always at least a third option if you look for it. you’re not even trying. You’re just trying to impose your views as a binary right or wrong.

@NoDisassemble5 @TalonTarone @OchoZaco Better to be wrong than a coward.
