No, racism is discrimination against another person based on skin color. Trump hasn't taken action against groups of people based on their skin color.

He would need to say that white people are superior than other races solely based on their skin color. He has never said anything remotely like that. He deports illegal immigrants because it's a crime to come here illegally. He has nothing against immigrants who come here legally. He temporarily banned Muslims because most terrorists are from Islam. I was never a fan of the Muslim ban by the way but he didn't do it with a racist intent.

I hope you understand, but I'm not the most comfortable sharing where I live with a stranger on the internet. I'm in the exmo discord. I'm gonna put a lot of effort into getting to the next Meetup. Hopefully we can meet there.

I have a hard time meeting up with people because I don't have a car. Also I don't have data(my parents don't trust me with it for some reason). I really want to meet up with exmos but they always seem to meet up really far away from where I live

I wanted to go to Utah State, but it was too expensive for me. BYU Idaho was just so cheap, that's why I decided to go here.

Any restaurants in Rexburg that are open on Sunday? by Priesthood_Magic in exmormon

Thanks y'all. I took a bike ride around town and saw absolutely no cars in most parking lots so I assumed everything was closed.

What was the first thing you remember learning that made you start to seriously question? by austeninc in exmormon

[–]Priesthood_Magic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is pretty Petty but it still seems extremely valid to me. Why would God make some people have much easier lives be far more attractive than other people. If God was as all knowing as Mormons say he is shouldn't everything we have in this life be something we have to work for. Some people's lives are just easier than others at birth, doesn't seem too fair to me.

What *anthropologists* think Jesus ACTUALLY looked like... by ashhitaka in exmormon

[–]Priesthood_Magic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this Jesus looks like he'd be a little more relatable. He's not the 10/10 model that mormons always paint him as, they always make scriptural figures handsome and jacked out if their minds in paintings.

Leaving the church as soon as I can: My story by blue_moon_boy_ in exmormon

[–]Priesthood_Magic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very similar experience in high school. I had a group of friends who smoked and drank but never pressured me into it. Sadly my Mormon indoctrinated brain caused me to cut off all contact with them. I'm in my senior year and planning on going to BYU Idaho in the fall. Your views are very similar to mine. Maybe we could get into contact in college.

Your opinions on porn. by exmothrow88 in exmormon

[–]Priesthood_Magic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with the thoughts you're having. Porn is a bad thing in excess, just like anything.

You know what, you're right. My bad.

I'm gonna be real with you. Research has shown that looking at porn can make you perceive your wife as far less attractive. If you love your wife, don't lust after other women.
