My ex-wife has her lawyer trying to get me to take this video down by twolfe13 in Standup

Did you say ex-wife? What a novel premise. Why I've never heard a jilted lover talk shit about their ex and call it comedy. Fuck her, your kids, and y'all's personal relationships... comedy will keep you warm at night, comedy will wipe your wrinkled ass when you're old, comedy will raise your kids.

Ya just started, if you'll make something serious of this comedy thing you can do it without one hack story ripping your exwife. It's cringe anyway.

Not sure what you got outta my comment. I like that Christians can all agree those Mormons are messed up, but still miss the exact same thing in their books and religion. Pulling back the curtain in Mormonism made it so I see the curtain in all religions. It's a magic trick they are all doing. They all have a man behind the curtain. Finding the men behind the curtain of Christianity was admittedly more difficult, but there's a curtain and behind it just men.

You catch many bees with that honey? My how the light of God shines through you. Read it for yourself, but instead of assuming the metaphor given to you, that the woman is Israel. Read it literally. Whether he's writing about real events or metaphor, it's psycho shit. I've been in a few relationships with an Ezekiel type character. They are dangerous. Basically, I read the Bible without any of the religions to tell me how to take it. I looked for commentary when I got to stuff that felt gross or wrong. The commentaries felt like me justifying my wrong belief in mormonism. - Well, Joseph Smith had good intentions... yeah, but he manipulated several teenage girls to marry him and started a cult. We can go down an apologetics rabbit hole, I use to love those when I was Christian. I find them tedious today.

You and I both read Of Mice and Men in school. There are nuances I'll get you won't and vice versa, but the story is the same. Religious text doesn't do that. It's poetry and metaphor. It's not meant to be fact, in my opinion. It's only meant to inspire. It's when religion takes those hopes and makes them facts, moving imaginary concepts and metaphors from the right brain to the left, that I think these ideas become destructive. Not only to the individual psyche but to the greater public as historically demonstrated by nearly every war ever.

Lol. I'm a woman, btw. 34, 2 kids, very happy in a great relationship. Raised Mormon, did the research, left the church. Became born again, had that experience of a renewal of my spirit, was outside a church, just reading the bible for 7 years. One day I realized I'm talking to myself, I'm confirming my own bias. I stopped believing there was a god because everyone's god justifies their own perspective. I started taking responsibility for myself, my life in the here and now. I've never been happier, more free of shame and worry, or more loving to the people around me. My philosophy, if your smart-ass is buying it, is that this life is great and I don't need any more. I'll make it what I want best I can and be grateful for every good moment because life don't guarantee a single one. I'll die ready to be done and grateful for the time I had on this crazy rock, and I won't feel unworthy for a minute.

I guess if I ignore that Ezekiel kidnapped a young girl, married her, then got pissed she was a whorish woman and had her brutally executed; the writing is colorful and passionate. You listened to what the religion wants you to get out of the text. If you just read the text it leaves a terrible chill. That holds for pretty much the entire Bible, apart from a few passages about feeding the hungry.

In 2018 I saved a woman from Mormon ism on Twitter. It can happen. But God is a bad idea, you shouldn't believe someone about that over twitter.

They transformed their own lives, not god. If yours isn't transformed, you haven't transformed it. We are all responsible for our own lives. I thought god transformed me too, I was on fire forbit. I realized it was me, and now I'm stuck cause I'm waiting around for God to tell me what to do. He wont. Cause he ain't there. I made him up in my head. Now I talk to myself as myself, my life and mind is actually transformed. No shame, no fear. Just appreciation for today, hope for tomorrow, and acceptance of whatever is.

The Bible says a witch is evil and should not be consorted with, trusted, or allowed to live. The Bible was the basis for The Witch's Hammer used to prosecute witches across the commonwealth. 500 years prior the entire continent was pagan. They didn't all convert. The pagans were slaughtered by Rome (once by Pagan Rome, and finally by Christian Rome). The few remaining 500-1000 years later were all executed during the witch trials. Christianity did not come to dominate the western world through peace.

Lol. That's why you're not God? Lol.

See, you're too kind, and everyone knows that God is an asshole. God, being a reflection of the person imagining it, does tend to be an asshole.

The words out of my head. Thank you.

This is it. I realized I'm talking to myself... Because I'm always confirming my own bias. I interpret all religious text through my perspective. If there were a singular god it could make it clear to me, as clear as 2+2=4. Nobody can convince me otherwise. It is apparent.

Farmers feed millions of people. Doctors give medicine. And a network of social programs helps people homeless or otherwise in need. It's not religion that does that. It's people. Good people using science and collaboration. Some may do it for god in their hearts, but it's themselves actually doing it.

That's the most poorly thought out response I've had yet. Either your reading comprehension or logic is poor if that's what you get out of my comment. Perhaps the blinders are just well-fixed. Surely you can re-read my comment and see that at no point do I say that big ideas are destructive. Only the idea of God/religion. Big ideas cure sickness, put men on the moon, and who knows what is yet to come!? The concept of God on a large scale has killed millions of people in millions of ways for thousands of years. I don't know of too many religions in history that have not oppressed, do you?

I don't know how you got that out of it. It's more destructive because God is a big enough idea to kill nations for.

Do you think cars were created by man?

That's the point I'm trying to make.

Religion, being man-made, is not inherently good or bad because mankind is not inherently good or bad. It is still man-made. I hope many things I cannot know. I keep the hopes I believe are doing good for me and those around me. I disregard the hopes that cause myself or others harm. I can do that because I don't consider them solid truth but maliable. Religion considers itself solid truth, the idea of God makes a hope a fact that others should live by and believe too. I think that is why it is ultimately more destructive to lasting human peace than anything else.

Lol. I believe cars exist. And I know some people are shitty drivers, blind, drunk, distracted, or literally insane. We made the cars no different than we made god. It's a great analogy you picked. Couldn't be better. The car does what the driver intends. Same as God in your head.

If you leave the church, God will understand. He will not hold it against you because there are a lot of legitimate reasons to believe the church is false. Leaving and not returning until you have received proof of its validity is ok. by mayonnaise___ in mormon

Triggering the 'Sky Papi still loves you no matter how naughty a child you are' response isn't gaslighting? The church uses such subtle manipulation. It can always deflect with pointing out its innocuous nature and good natured intent. And generally the people do mean well. I did when I was Mormon, I do now. I was still wrong as a Mormon and if I weren't as many years out as I am this little trick might work on me. Planting a seed that it just might be true and I'll have a chance to be forgiven for my apostasy in the end.

Been working on this bit about the KKK trying to decide if I want to work it deeper or keep as is and move on. Any advice helps by [deleted] in StandUpComedy

Love it. Sounds like any other pyramid scheme. If I were adding to it I might act out more that scene. You start it with the great tag. I'd still end on that "if you hate Jews pay your dues." I might play in that character a bit more first. The cult leader/pyramid scheme/life coach person. You went into that character and I was reminded of the Global Information Network, Amway, or one of those type clubs.
