In a statement titled “When entertainment media distorts faith,” the Church notes that some “portrayals are fair and accurate, but others resort to stereotypes or gross misrepresentations.”

Thankfully some random 19th-century farm boy came along, ignored centuries of theologian's debates on the topic, and presented an elegant solution: We are eternally existent with God, we always had agency That farm boy's name was Joseph Smith, the Prophet

I was there. This clip is from the Q&A section of a WOMAN'S hour-long presentation on abuse in the Church. BTW she is a convert, therapist, and abuse survivor. Funny how this self-righteous influencer is erasing female abuser survivors to make her point.

Israel could respond to the terrorist attacks the way Moroni did in Alma 54 in the Book of Mormon: "I will exchange prisoners, [on] conditions that ye will deliver up a man and his wife and his children, for one prisoner...[if not], I will come against you with my armies;

Progressive-minded members will say the flag is only meant as a symbol of Christlike love, nothing more. If that's so, then why not just display a picture of Christ? Hmmm?

Quick tip- If you ever find yourself making the argument: "If you don't know the correlation between # of partners and vagina size, then your opinion on killing babies is invalid" You may just be on the wrong side, or incapable of rational thought

Does it bother you that this grossly misrepresents the Church and provides financial incentives for these women to ruin their own and their families lives? Or is it all fine with you because you can't live without your cult entertainment?

To get to this point, the first hurdle was to convince society that there are never negative externalities to tolerance and acceptance. Time to learn the lesson: there are always trade-offs.

If the Book of Mormon is a racist book Joseph Smith made up, why would he include the Samuel the Lamanite story? To his audience, that would be like a black man going up to NYC and telling them to shape up - and he's the good guy. Strange racist book imo

In almost all Christian theology, God fully controlled our creation from nothing and must know how we will act afterwards Therefore even if He gives us agency after creating us, He has still predestined us to heaven or hell. That's deeply problematic, right? But!...

I don't know if I'll ever understand how Mormons aren't Christian, but Calvinists are. So we can agree to disagree about if our free will exists, but God being a literal rather than a figurative father is a bridge too far?

Leaving an American-centric lens reveals how odd it is for this guy to be picked as Church comms director. Africa is the future of the Church, and Africans widely reject the LGBTQ ideology he has peddled. The Catholic Church was just reminded of this (quoted tweet)
