Mormonism: How to Piss People Off in A Nutshell

M here.

Mormonism is a tricky subject to talk about, because people tend to act like total pussies whenever they hear the word "Mormon". However, I'm not like that, and so forgive me if I dive into the issue without giving a fuck on what other people think. So, what's the big deal about the Mormons?

How about we start with how they got started:

"In the spring of 1820, a 14-year-old boy named Joseph Smith went into a grove of trees near his home in Palmyra, New York, and prayed to learn which church he should join. In answer to his prayer, God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, appeared to him, just as heavenly beings had appeared to prophets like Moses and Paul in biblical times. Joseph learned that the Church originally organized by Jesus Christ during His mortal ministry was no longer on the earth. next 10 years, Joseph was visited by other heavenly messengers, translated the Book of Mormon by the gift and power of God, and received authority to organize the Church. The Church was organized in Fayette, New York, on 6 April 1830, under the leadership of Joseph Smith. It has grown to an organization with members and congregations throughout the world."

TL;DR: Joseph Smith went to a church to find out where he should join and found out that joining an existing church was a really bad idea so he found some tablets and created his own motherfucking church.

There are a couple of things wrong with this little story. One: The Book of Mormon was only visible and readable to Joseph Smith. Just like the magical angels who told him that the current church sucked ass. A little weird. Two: Joseph Smith created a church so that he could have control and authority granted to him by God. That's pretty much the definition of a cult.

So why does everybody hate the Mormons? Because one of their older principles is the leaders get to have harems.

Harems.

You know who created this harem rule? God, according to Joseph Smith. But forgive me if I don't think God would want us to not be faithful to one motherfucking person.

M out.
