A mid 40s dude who deconstructed Mormonism. A bit obsessed with Mormon history and Biblical scholarship.

@kcoryjones @Jake_A_Reed Word of wisdom is stupid. So let’s compare it to another stupid biblical practice to make it seem less stupid. That’s what you did.

Much of the Word of Wisdom is outdated and no longer makes sense today. So, following it now teaches your brain that: *Rules matter more than understanding why. *Obedience becomes the goal, even when the reason no longer makes sense.

@BIGKLDS You are making an argument I never made on this post. But yes, at least most of it, absolutely he did.

@stackerco Joseph Smith made up the Book of Mormon by himself?

“wherefore, no man will be angry at the words which I have written save he shall be of the spirit of the devil.” -Nephi. (2 Nephi 33:5) Have you ever met anyone who is angry at Nephis words found in the Book of Mormon, or at the Book of Mormon in general? I certainly have.

@stackerco You love that fallacy. I’ve seen you mention it twice in the last two days. Christ has one true Church, and he provided a witness of it that will stand against all of us at the last day called the Book of Mormon.

People died for Heaven’s Gate. Is this the kind of passion and dedication you really want in a belief system?

@stackerco Did human physiology change? Is caffeine suddenly good for you? Tobacco? Cocaine? Gluttony?

@stackerco no, sacrificing your life for your family and your liberties is not evil. evil is wrong for its own sake but calling a cause evil because it demands sacrifice, even of one's life, is not an accurate connection to make.

@stackerco The Jehovah's Witness have recently started telling members to get ready to obey orders from HQ that may seem unreasonable or confusing or dangerous. I think they are mixing the kool-aide now.

What do you call a religion that demands blind obedience and requires you to want to die for it?

@mormons_speak1 Have you looked into this at all? The entire WoW is taken from health fads of the 1800s. Maybe do some research before you throw egg in your own face.

@StarTether @surskitmaxxing No it’s not a non sequitur. The entire thing is outdated and you’re making all kind of rationalizations to make it work.

@surskitmaxxing @stackerco Our bodies (especially cells) can't tell the seasons on the year except through what molecules are available to them. The meat helped provide the signals that my body was living in abundance and could finally stop preparing for winter. /2

@Virgini23166650 You can’t have a religion without requiring your members to have blind obedience and died for it?

@stackerco Unless your point is that all religion is just evil, which is demonstrably not the case, then your original post was, and remains, asinine.
