but we both kinda feel like we don't belong

@Marlow READ SIEGE

Is it Mormonism specifically or just Christianity as a whole?

@rilath READ SIEGE

whats siege?

It's a ridiculous work of fiction

it's a book for spergs

👆🏻

@rilath I like mormons, but they aren't really my people anymore

they aren't my nation

they have their own thing

It's a book by James mason

They seem to be one of the last bastions of whiteness left in America, even though they're a bit off

for example, to make any progress politically here, even in local politics, you have to be mormon

and you have to signal it really hard, which is kinda lame

I think I could get along really well with christians, as long as wel have the same values... mormons are kinda cucked

they literally believe we'll have world peace once we all become mormon

they're universalists

that up load failed

READ

to be fair every religion believes that Marlow

yeah but mormons are particularly adamant about it

it's a great community

but it's kinda culty

like you have to really buy into all of it... all of the weird stories

and when you don't, it shows... and it's hard to really "become one" when it's so odd

people joke around about Christians like, "you believe in zombie jew, kike on a pike lol"

but that's not really what Christianity is about

Christianity is a community rooted in tradition... it's a way to see yourself and the world. It's a conversation you have about reality and morality across generations

"Yeah, Joseph Smith! Totally bro!"

but with Mormons, before you're baptized, you're interviewed and asked if you really do believe the crazy stories

Wanna snort some coke, drink some rum and fuck some bitches? Mormons do that right?

like you need to really believe Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus, and an angel gave him gold plates written by ancient trans-oceanic sea-faring jews from 600 BS, who sailed to America from the Arabian Peninsula, and that Joseph Smith translated these gold plates by putting a rock into a hat, and reading the words god put on the rock

like, there are sooooo many leaps of faith you have to make

And for me it was becoming difficult maintaining my faith in all of that

like there was this long-standing policy where blacks couldn't hold the priesthood in the church

they were basically second class citizens if they did join

Ayo I'm gunna leap into dat mormon virgin pussy

who cares about anything else?

is that a bad thing marlow?
