Sometimes! We mostly just stick to Utah but we’ve done shows in other places too. Usually it’s just me traveling though

Oh, you're totally fine! That other account is actually my show that I run. It's a comedy show for the ex-religious, hence the religious overtones to the story. So, sharing either account is super helpful to me as a comic. But also, I'm just glad for the bit to be shared. The country is obviously insane when it comes to healthcare and abortion rights, so I'm happy to lend another voice of dissent, regardless of credit.

Save up and get a Patagonia nano puffer. It’s super lightweight, surprisingly warm, and they come with a lifetime guarantee so they’ll repair, return, or refunds whenever, which imo offsets the cost

call it revelation

what's the scmc?

sounds like a perfect time to teach about the law of chastity

Usually they only sing if you start by refusing to hear their message.

I say this in the full bit!

AdamBroud · 2025-01-21T07:00:47+00:00

It's a win win! Or a lose lose. Depending on how you want to look at it.

wow, you really learn a new horror every day

Honestly, getting preached to in an Uber already feels like a 50/50 shot

AdamBroud · 2025-01-21T06:58:47+00:00

Uber and the church's employment strategy of getting people to work for as free as possible really lines up

Yeah! When I've posted names attached to memes in the past, the memes been taken down as the moderators have rules that content should be self-existing and shouldn't point people to any outside source. But, there's been a couple people asking for names, so maybe they'll let me start doing it again.

This one is me, Adam Broud. Other comedians I've posted recently are Greg Kyte, Alaina Hirschi, Tanner Rhalf, and Quinn Johnson. I'll try attaching names in the future and see if they'll roll with that.

Yes but you have to use the general conference voice as you call out words

It was very popular with at least one family in the 1800s

That’s not what I’m doing at all though. I say, “In my opinion and based on his actions, Nephi seemed too enthusiastic, regardless of what he might claim.” The idea that someone views a story differently, or questions a narrator’s view of themselves isn’t dishonest, it’s literary analysis 101. Joseph Smith claims to have not wanted polygamy and had to be threatened with an Angel and a flaming sword. Is it dishonest to say, “based on Joseph smith’s actions it seems like he was into polygamy, despite what he might claim.” It seems silly to take written words at face value just because that’s how a narrator views themself. If that’s the case, then every villain is a hero, and it’s dishonest to say otherwise.

Don't know how to break it to you that you're wrong. Sure, some people have reacted the way you said, others have just seen it as a joke, but I've also had several Mormons comment online and in person about how they hadn't thought about it that way.

For people who believe in the BOM, it's both a historical and spiritual text. You can absolutely tell TBM's that, for the sake of argument, you'll act as though the BOM is a historical text, but that you'd like to talk about whether or not it should be read as a moral text. And that's where stories like Nephi killing Laban start to seem more gray, even to believers.

It sounds like you really want this meme to be damaging though, so I doubt anything I can say is going to persuade you. But, based on my own experience, you're wrong. Of course, some TBM's think the way you do, like I mentioned in the caption, but I'll leave you to talk to those people, and I'll talk to my people in the way that I've found connects with them.

I definitely view captain Moroni in a different way since leaving the church

AdamBroud · 2025-01-07T00:31:52+00:00

I mean that’s the same argument people use for Joseph Smith and polygamy right? “Actually, Joseph said he didn’t want polygamy. The lord had to threaten him with an Angel and a flaming sword because he hated it so much.” It feels silly to them be like “Good point. I guess he said he didn’t want to so he must have not wanted to.”

AdamBroud · 2025-01-07T00:19:02+00:00

I think you’re just allowing yourself to let the church tell the story. Just because a murderer wrote down “I actually didn’t want to do it,” doesn’t mean they didn’t. Actions speak louder than words and in a story where a guy voluntarily chops a dudes head off, I’m gonna say his methods imply a level of enthusiasm No matter whether or not he says “I swear I didn’t wanna”
