Articles of faith...or stupidity part 5

We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.


This just furthers the premise that those who believe in god are indeed fucking crazy! To say that your ONLY authority to preach comes from the sky tyrant...then where does your authority truly come from? The simple answer is, you have no authority.


The other thing that just seems creepy...they do this whole laying on of hands thing...which is a bunch of old farts standing around whoever the person is and putting their hands on their head and saying some prayer to jebus and god. The thing is, they do this to not only adults, but kids too. Kinda makes you wonder what's up with that...


But, the thing that's really messed up is how they believe that god gives them all this authority...sure...the authority to demonize atheists...to tell people who are gay that they will burn in hell...to forcibly convert anyone who ISN'T mormon...to tell those same people that they're wrong in their beliefs...to say they have the ONLY true history of jebus...to say that they have the only true history of history itself...yeah...that's some seriuosly fucked up authority if you ask me.

I would support them

So as is evident at the top of my blog of companies that any self-respecting non-theist would never want to shop as it only contributes to religion, I have one that I'd have to add for places that I WOULD shop as they oppose the stupid shit religutards do.

Who is the company you ask? Why, it's none other than IHOP, the International House of Pancakes.

Now, you may wonder why I would be willing to shop at IHOP because of them opposing something religutards did. Well, take a look at this link over at Bilerico.com http://www.bilerico.com/2010/09/ihop_sues_fundie_group_for_copyright_violation.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed:+BilericoProject+(The+Bilerico+Project)

Here is the CNN link to the story also: http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/09/16/ihop.lawsuit/index.html?eref=rss_topstories&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+rss/cnn_topstories+(RSS:+Top+Stories)

It's just amazingly stupid to see that a church group thinks they can steal IHOP's logo like that...wait a sec...steal...isn't that a commandment? O_O son of a bitch it is!!! It's the 8th commandment in fact "thou shalt not steal..." So...does this church think they're exempt from it or something?

Well, I'm looking forward to the outcome of this case and will be cheering on the real IHOP through the entire length of proceedings.

Articles of faith...or stupidity part 4

We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.


Hoo boy...this is a fun one!

The first "principle" to have faith in jebus...hmm...I should have faith in someone that never came to promote peace...but to act like a 5yo child who is there nothing more than to say "you're all bad" among other things. This "faith" they promote is disturbing at best. Sadly, the religutarded still believe the jebus myth to this day and still have faith in it as is exemplified above.

The second "principle" of repentance...oh...my...fucking...hell. Repentance is nothing more than a xians attempt to de-villify sins. This is all repentance is at the basest of levels...an escape from sin...which is stupid as they believe jebus saves you from your sins... This is a VERY redundant system as jebus saves you from ANY sins you did...but then repentance is for you to be forgiven by jebus and the sky tyrant. This probably explains why I've seen so many people who claim to be mormon at bars and smoking and even talking about randomly fucking someone.

The third "principle" baptism to help get rid of sins. OMG!!!! They keep repeating...wait...where I have heard that before... O_O OH YEAH!!! The ten fucking commandments...namely the first 4 which basically serve for the sky tyrant to say "WORSHIP ME YOU DISGUSTING BASTARDS". Also...being dunked in water so that you can be forgiven for sins...that's like playing hide and seek and hiding behind a chain link fence. There's absolutely NO point to it. What makes this worse is that mormons also do this for dead people...who asked them...honestly if I was dead I could come back and make TOTAL hell for them for doing that to me.

The fourth "principle" to received the holy ghost. This is simply their rationalization for intuition...where you can tell if something feels wrong or right. They just call it the "still small voice"...I call them fucking crazy! And, the last time I checked, the only way people have claimed to hear a "ghost" (whatever your definition may be) is using some sort of modified radio that quickly scans AM stations...which is total gibberish and you hear whatever you want...it's as bad as the religutards seeing jebus in a cheese sandwich ( http://cooltoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Jesus_Toast_Grilled_Cheese-274x300.jpg ) or even beelzebub in the smoke from 9/11 ( http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bltabloid-arch10.htm). As I said...they're just crazy.

Articles of faith...or stupidity part 3

3) We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.

This is laughable at best. To think that jebus will save all mankind is honestly a sickening ideal. Why is it sickening? To think that something like 11 million people believe this and want everyone else to think the same. Yeah, just another example of the standard religious brainwashing bullshit.

now...the really unnerving part "obedience" which means believe what we tell you and don't you DARE think anything elsewise or you WILL be going to outer darkness (as mormons don't believe in hell like xians do). Yeah, that's something that the leaders of mormons push a LOT. That you must do what we say not what anyone else does and definitely do NOT think for yourself.

They're scared cause they know that if people actually thought for themselves that they would tell them all to fuck right off and go stick a hot iron rod up their ass. The people who lead any religion know full well that their followers are en masse too stupid to actually take the time to read what the religion is founded on. If they did, they would realize that there's only ONE religion out there that makes less sense than mormonism and that's scientology. Yes, scientologists are slightly crazier than mormons but not by much...at least scientologists didn't buy out an absolutely disgusting law like Prop 8 in California.

Personally, I will be ecstatic when the religious majority realizes that it's absurd to hold onto something as horrendous as religion and it's dogma and realizes that they don't need an invisible sky tyrant (who should also shove a red hot iron up his ass).

On a random and slightly related note. I started working with someone locally to start a computer repair business. On our way to grab some food while working on a machine someone drove by and the person commented that it's the local mormon bishop. I didn't really say much to that as I don't believe religion should be a part of any workplace (and no, a church isn't a workplace just a place to molest minds and kids). He said his wife goes but that he doesn't care for it, he has better things to think about and focus on.

Articles of faith...or stupidity part 2

We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.


While this doesn't mean that you baptize babies at birth a la catholicism, they still do a baptism in order to received jebus' blessings. You do this when you're 8...they explain to you what's going on...but come on, you're 8 fucking years old. No fucking 8 year old can understand the bullshit of baptism or see that they're being brainwashed into a cult.


One thing that does set mormons apart from other xians regarding sin is that they don't believe in original sin. All this means is that because sky daddy told adam not to eat the apple and he did, we're not punished for it...however, any other sin is still as reprehensible...so they only take one out of the equation.


Something this leads into is baptisms for the dead...this is something I will address at a later time and discuss it's absurdity.

As far as the sins go, if you stay a believing mormon, this means that white jebus (cause he wasn't white, I'm sorry, but the dude is from the middle east, that bitch was brown) will absolve you of ALL your sins when you die as long as you repent in front of their triune god (monotheistic my ass)...now how's that for a loophole? It beats the fuck out of plenary indulgence from catholicism.

Prop 8 deemed unconstitutional...so my dad has to be an ass

While the title does say a lot, I'm going to elaborate.

the front page of a local newspaper called the Deseret News had 2 articles about the Prop 8 trial and the decision made by Judge Walker that it is unconstitutional. "A PRIVATE MORAL VIEW THAT SAME-SEX COUPLES ARE INFERIOR TO OPPOSITE-SEX COUPLES IS NOT A PROPER BASIS FOR LEGISLATION" That is taken from a scan of the decision papers done by Judge Walker.

So, this is pretty clear cut, religion is wrong for trying to force this point of view on the whole of California. Besides, it's also public knowledge that half of the funds used to push Prop 8 were given by the mormon members who were told (not urged, TOLD) to give money to get it pushed through.

So, as I'm sitting, eating dinner and reading those articles, my dad just blatantly says "they're wrong to push this because the voters already voted on this". Well...clearly someone didn't actually read the decision.

So I point that out and all he can do is be a broken record that they're wrong and the buybull says that being gay is wrong.

At that point I thought to myself "...alright, if he wants to call the buybull into this" I then turned around and said, so, it's ok to take laws from something that advocates both slavery and misogynism?

He says no but I correct him saying that's what he's doing.

All he can retort to that is that we don't believe in the buybull (bullshit, mormons believe in it "as far as it is translated correctly" (something that will be in an upcoming post)) but believe in the book of mormon. This is of course an easy way out to say he's right and I'm wrong...except the book of mormon says the exact same damn thing as the buybull regarding homosexuality, slavery, and misogynism.

I can't resist saying "You mean the book that was written by someone who had a 'vision' where he was visited by people claiming to be Native Americans but had pure white skin...please, do explain that one" He never responded at that point.

It's pretty obvious I know more about the religion than he does...what pisses me off more is that him and some other people in the neighborhood want missionaries to come talk to me. I was willing to at first to see how badly they're brainwashed...but after this, no, I'm gonna say no, I don't want to deal with their bullshit.

I hope I finish up the issue with my left foot (broke the heel bone and sprained the ankle on July 20th) and then get my ass back to school, get a good job and move out. That way I don't have to listen to this drivel every damn day =_=

Articles of faith...or stupidity part 1

Since I grew up with mormonism, I am going to continue going on about it. I remembered they have something called the "Articles of Faith". It's a collection of 13 items that they essentially consider law...but it's not. So, just like the last ones I did, I will detail each one and add my commentary afterwards.

We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.


First and foremost, this is a triune, NOT a monotheist belief. This means that when they make fun of pagans, or taoists, or buddhists, or shinto they're basically being hypocrites. How can I say this? Well, these 3 "individuals" are all "gods" in their own right. That means they believe in 3, yes that's right THREE, gods...now, what is the definition of poly theism? Dictionary.com has it as "the doctrine of or belief in more than one god or in many gods." So already we see that mormons lie about their own religion.

Next, the "eternal father". What a load of shit...mormons believe 2 things about "god". 1) That he lived a life just as we are now as a mortal to get that experience and 2) that he was good enough in that life that when he died he became a god himself and got a wife who he basically fucks like a rabbit to produce all, yes ALL, the people that have ever existed on this planet. Now...unless there's viagra or cialis in heaven...yeah, not buying it. He produces all of these "spiritual kids" on a planet called kolob...which is Earth after it's raised and cleansed.

Now, mormons have their own belief of god as joe smith wrote in the buybull so he could create his own religion. What I detailed above is a rough start on it and that god isn't supposed to be anything like the narcissistic asshole from the buybull...bull shit.

Jebus...right...a carpenter from the Middle East cares more for a group of people who are edged out barely as being the most psychotic on the planet by scientologists. Honestly, IF, and that's a very big IF, jebus existed, he supposedly appeared to joe at one point and appeared white...not sure how he would, but whatever, I can't see why he'd just some kid in the backwoods of the developing US and essentially say "you gotta save everyone before I ass rape them like sodom and gomorrah or like with the flood" (both of which never existed outside the buybull).

...the holy ghost...more like the holy shit. The holy ghost is supposed to be an invisible person with god-like powers (funny they say it's invisible) that comes to EVERY person on the planet to give them advice on how to behave. Yeah, I have a word for that, it's called a conscience, and it does a damn better job than some invisible god-like person. The idiots of mormonism like to call it the "still small voice" that just appears in the back of your head (like you already knew it)...I call that schizophrenia.

So, overall, you can see that it's starting off as a load of bullshit.

And with the recent declaration by Judge Walker in California that Prop 8 was illegal, yeah, this is just the start of the end of the MORmON church...and it doesn't come too soon.
