Anyone who grew up Mormon should have already known the largely evangelical Christian nationalists would like to destroy Mormons in the top ten wish list of people to harm if they ever get power. this isn’t confusing at all. it’s willfully ignoring reality.
Yeah, I grew up catholic and remain shocked most Catholics don’t seem to get that they’re in that same boat
It’s like Mormons don’t even know their own history.
Which is wild, considering they’re ideologically aligned. I guess the Mormons are one step too culty.
Their leaders are competition for the Epstein child trafficking
Ideologically aligned plays second fiddle to culturally homogeneous in fascism. If they’re too different, they’re an outgroup. How much of an outgroup only matters early on, but they’re still a target, ultimately.
“Your Jesus just isn’t good enough to be included with all of our other Jesuses”. smh /s
Tear down that wall…Mormon education at work in that false equivalency
This guy has no decency, being a pedo protector. I dont believe he thinks Kegsbreath ever had some.
Sure you’re ______, but what kind of ______?
I wonder if the Mormans and the Evangelicals would go to war.
Go to war again? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormon_War
Mormon Senator is a term that just begging for bad news all day long
Hey, senator dumb fuck, maybe dont exclude/include people based on religion.
Awww, but I’m one of the GOOD
minoritiesfascists!Leopard doesn’t care. Om nom nom.
everyone with a lick of hindsight knew that eventually being a straight christian wouldnt be enough if youre black, or a white christian not enough if you’re gay, or even a straight white christian man if youre not the right type of white or flavor of christian
Eventually these groups cannibalize their own.
First they came for the socialists.
Then left everyone else alone.
Here’s an idea, let’s not have a list of “recognized” religions at all.
And while we are at it, Mormons and Christians and all of the rest should pay taxes, they’re disgusting vampires.
There is a valid purpose. Sikhs have special requirements for grooming. Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Buddhists, and Hindus have dietary requirements. Quakers are pacifists. In general having a list of religions you’re prepared to accommodate is valuable for a military
Here’s an idea, let’s not have a list of “recognized” religions at all.
If we don’t have a list of legally recognized religions, we won’t be able to rationalize pogroms against the illegal ones.
Don’t you want to purge the county of Muslims? Don’t you want to send all the Jews to Israel? Don’t you want all those Communist Atheists rounded up? I hear a bunch of them work for the CCP.
Don’t you want to send all the Jews to Israel?
Nah, I want Israel to not exist
But it does, Blanche, it does exist!
Well, that’s just antisemitism.
Mods! MODS! If this was Reddit, you’d be so banned right now.
No, lets have that list, and tax them appropriately.
You don’t need a separate list if everyone is getting taxed the same.
“but how will we know it’s a hate crime!”
-they coordinated to attack a civilian population/gather spot
Put all the religious lunatics in a straitjacket and send them to Uranus with spaceX and musk
Fuck Mike Lee.
It doesn’t “ban them from a list”, they’re just not on the list under “Christian”.
Ask any Mormon if they’re just a flavor of Christian, and they’ll be quick to tell you why they’re better
They don’t have a problem with drawing a line, they just don’t like it when they’re on the minority side of the line which is what this is about.
They’ll call far right Christians “them” all day, but don’t like being called “them” by anyone.
I thought it was the military list of protected religious rights, meansing the Mormons would have no recourse if they were asked to do something that violated their beliefs
Yes, the main thing here is they’re feeling a sense of Othering that they all grew up being told was a thing that happened to Mormons, but they didn’t really believe it because they were loyal republicans and the majority of them live and die in the bubble of Utah and the surrounding areas, so they’re a force to be reckoned with even when not the majority. Those of us who grew up Mormon (i got better!) in the Bible Belt knew that the evangelicals would never accept Mormons as fellow Christians. More understanding groups wouldn’t make a thing of it, even if they have the same theological distinctions, but the Bible thumpers were always going to insist on semantic cleansing once they had their hands on the levers of power, and if the Mormons don’t accept that they’re only as good as Jews and Muslims, they’ll get slapped down even harder by a truly Christian Nationalist regime.
Thanks for pointing out that there’s no ban on religions in the military. I’ve heard this blown way out of proportion a few times.
I believe this is mostly about what religious texts the military provides, clergy services and burial services. I think theres some other small things as well but it’s mostly about the military’s obligations
Since Americans famously shrank English words due to length
Christians should pay 1/3rd more taxes than Mormons
Yours, a jew
Edit: this is a joke, I am not a Jew
not MY abortion not MY job not MY religion
not ME!
Religion is a mental illness and anyone using it as a guide for anything needs to be medicated into a coma.
Humans are so silly. Especially in light of how serious religious simpletons are. just the silliest little apes we are. buddy, you’re just a pile of poop and water. calm down.
“The one thing you taught me about human beings is this / They ain’t made it nothing but water and shit / Alright?”
Old Modest Mouse pointed this out eloquently.
