I’m glad you’re here, because I am feeling really strongly about this right now and I feel like saying something serious—while also wanting to boot some people in the pants and yell at them with both my hands up to my mouth so they understand what I am really trying to explain to them.
Moral People Are Disgusting (Yeah, I Said It)
See, “moral” people in general have a particular problem that I am disgusted with. They suppress their dark side to such an extent that it shows up in moral ways that are almost moral—but they aren’t—and so it makes them disgusting.
How do I express this?
When people mix up morality with their inevitable outlets of their “dark side,” or in other words—they can only be moral and they won’t do anything outside of that morality—then anything immoral escapes totally down around behind them and shows up in the most righteous way. And down the road, we all figure out the manipulative tactic that justifies the evil, and find out that it only exists because someone was trying to be moral and they suppressed what they thought was bad, and it ended up manifesting in a harmful, disgusting way that not even they knew about.
In other words, it had to entirely escape their scorching lens of morality so that it could get around even them!!!
Insaneeee!!
My Dad Was a God at This
He basically is the chief immorality-suppresser, and so all that immorality rears its head in only ways he sees as moral.
And Mormons hate my dad so much while also admiring him because they literally do the same thing—but not with near the boldness and conviction.
And they hate him not just for what he did, but also because they can subconsciously see they are doing similar things and they hate a big, hot, scorching example of what they might be doing.
God I feel upset right now because people are out there doing this morality-mangle-mash, and it’s one of those pet peeves I have nowadays that drives me up the wall and makes me want to stop putting up with so much bullshit morality/immorality lubricant that makes mingling up and mashing the two together in a way I have to write a 10,000-word article to try and untangle everything in a way that is almost indescribably despicable and frustrating.
Oh, and thank God for auto-correct on this computer or you would be lashing out at me for all the swear words I consciously took out after thinking them like 3,000 times when I couldn’t get my point across to losers who feel so dang entitled to the Celestial Kingdom of God that they are basically pooping on everyone with little drops of what they consider celestial manure.
My Dad
I’ve often explained that I didn’t think Warren Jeffs was out to do a bunch of evil.
Instead, he believed he had overcome his evils through becoming Godly—that every evil thing he did was wadded up in a ball of morality to make it right to him. Which also made it much more difficult for his supporters to see through it and leave.
Take an outrageous thing like sex with minors—very possibly picked up from when he was an adolescent doing stupid things with his siblings. Warren Jeffs could have acknowledged his dark side and dealt with it in a way that wouldn’t hurt minors. But instead he pushed it down, wouldn’t acknowledge it, and then he becomes the Prophet and gets revelations to marry a 12-year-old.
Sound crazy? I really think that’s what happened.
Might seem dumb and laughable of an idea, but when you’re deep in religion, it’s real.
I’m sure some make the argument that he knew he was doing evil, but I think most people that were there would agree that he really believed he was doing right. That’s what I hate about religion—it takes years, but you can get horribly mind-fucked from a seemingly “good religion.”
Why Most Religions Do This (To Some Degree at Any Rate)
Whenever a child grows up from birth knowing something is wrong, they try to appear without that problem.
One might be “sexually curious.” Another might be tempted to steal.
So religion guards with good moral principles—generally.
The problem is many religions are so harsh through society that people are suppressed from being good people to being “acceptable to society” people.
When you suppress sexual desire, that’s not bad as long as you give it an outlet that is appropriate.
Because when you don’t, it manifests in weird ways.
An example of this in the Mormon community is young people’s many ways of “almost sex, but we didn’t.” Or “I will just steal a little.” Or “It’s okay in this situation.”
The Counterargument
The counter argument might be, “So if people have an urge to steal, let them?”
Nooo. Here’s my point: you cannot suppress dark desires and expect everything to go good.
Instead, you have to encourage talking through those feelings and asking how they can be satisfied in a healthy way.
But religion says, “That’s evil. Don’t talk about it. Don’t think about it.”
So the child that wanted to steal can’t understand why they wanted to. It’s definitely not safe to talk about or even think to themselves about.
Twenty years later, they are in prison—all because religion made it impossible for them to have an open conversation about their inward feelings and finding a healthy way to accommodate them.
See, religion supposes we have evil within in the first place.
And that’s a lie.
Our feelings are valid.
And it’s religion suppressing any outlet to talk about them—or even sort them out in one’s own mind. That’s right: people are trained to smash down the dark emotions and not think about them. And then they manifest in “this is morally right in this situation.”
Which is all arbitrated by the same dumb ass religious leaders that made the whole situation in the first place.
How Mormons Do It
(I’m about to piss a few losers off 😂)
Jesus is coming, probably next year, and we totally believe it—but also we’re going to Disneyland next year and making an investment that will pay off in 50 years.
Like, they truly believe Jesus is coming while also entirely discounting that in any of their decisions.
How many LDS people do 85,000 things that aren’t acceptable in their religion, but simultaneously think they are part of the chosen religion and they are all faithful and mostly accepted?
As with the common Mormon, so with the leaders.
Getting a revelation that garments can cover less and less of your body was the result of “suppressed immorality.” They want to go less covered, so they get a fucking revelation that it’s “right.”
If it wasn’t “immoral” to go a little less covered—or at least express it—then they wouldn’t have to get a fucking revelation about it.
Dumb asses actually believe in the revelation too. Like really.
Outsiders can say, “It’s just a justification and they know it.”
But from being in these groups, it’s actually real—from leaders and followers. They don’t want to do wrong, and these revelations come, and it’s “God’s will.” Those revelations somehow fit into what they want every single time.
Now apply that to coffee and the other 10 trillion things they have changed.
That’s why my head hurts even starting to think about being a Mormon.
It’s like—where the fuck do you want me to even start explaining how illogical this is?
The Caffeine Clown Show
Mormons chug Monsters with 3x the caffeine that your morning coffee has and yet “coffee is bad.”
How dumb do you have to be to understand that coffee was banned because it’s a brain-altering substance—but 3x in your Monster and 3 a day, baby!!
And God almighty—every damn thing in Mormonism has that exact same logic.
If you even started to talk to me about it and I wasn’t in a good mood trying to be your friend, then you would get absolutely wrecked in sheer, pure, naked logic.
But the “peace in Christ” will keep them going back and acting illogically, as well as drinking Monsters while abstaining vehemently from a drink with 3x less caffeine.
When “Inspiration” Is Just a Dark Desire in a Pretty Dress
On more serious situations, bishops and other authorities will have “inspiration” that is simply the manifestation of a deep dark desire they suppressed themselves from thinking about because it is evil.
But the revelation will be mostly moral.
People literally trick themselves into satisfying a dark desire through a twisted good thing.
And this can lead to swinging, weird affairs that are somehow okay, and even illegal underage sex acts that go unreported. Often because both man and woman get caught up in the “inspiration” that they have no idea is a manifestation of their dark desires.
The Spirit Argument Is Garbage
And don’t even get me started on “those ones don’t have the Spirit of God.” I will absolutely demolish you in every logical way to the point you would be blushing with stupidity.
If not, come talk and use some of that inspiration to counter my arguments.
Any Mormon want to actually debate me on any of this TO MY FACE???? I will be respectful. But don’t cry behind your keyboard. YOU’RE INVITED.
But for some reason, you are inspired that “I shouldn’t do that, just focus on the Prophet.”
Which logic and powerful feeling of the Spirit of God—the same one you feel—(yes actually, because I know what you’re thinking right now) has led men to do everything from embarrassing themselves to committing heinous crimes.
Come Correct, or Don’t Come At All
I’m nice to LDS and everyone. But if you come to debate, you better prepare.
And when you’re preparing, you might lose your testimony. Sorry.
Either way, I’m here when you’re ready.
