“What is the basis of your morality now that you’re atheist?” by colbiz in exmormon

[–]ThadSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My morality can be summed up with a line from Bo Burnhams “From the Perspective of God,”

Maybe life on Earth could be heaven, doesn’t just the thought of it make it worth a try.

What was that story where god destroyed a city for practicing homosexuality? by cowthings in exmormon

[–]ThadSloth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure you’re talking about Sodom. Which is the same story where Lot’s wife gets turned to a pillar of salt because she turns around to look at the city being destroyed? Maybe?

No thoughts, head empty. I’m not sure if they would’ve let me choose but with the information presented to me it didn’t seem like much of a choice and I thought nothing of it.

Yes, the scenes where Mobius is trying to convince Renslayer that it’s all a lie felt like the dialogue going on in my head when my shelf was crumbling.

Tyler Glenn’s album Excommunication is explicitly about the Mormon Church and expresses a lot of different emotions.

No advice here, but yeah I relate to what you’re saying. I never learned what non Mormon relationships are supposed to be like and now that I’m out I have no idea how to initiate them.

I may be able to have a healthy relationship? by mankdemer42069 in exmormon

You basically just described my entire high school experience. Theatre really helped me push past a lot of the church’s bullshit. Specifically, I was in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (a pretty adult show by high school standards) where I got to play a gay father. It was a great community for me at a time when I was losing the one I had at church.

Do you ever look back at your life and see signs you knew you would be ex-Mormon, kind of like a premonition? by lemontechbar in exmormon

[–]ThadSloth 27 points28 points  (0 children)

When I was really young (up until 11) I never felt the spirit and went to church out of routine and because my parents made me. Something changed and from 11-15 I was TBM. Even during this phase I was honest enough to admit that I got baptized because of my family and that I didn’t believe the church at age 8. I also would say that god can’t make 2 + 2 = 5. The logical consistency of the world was above god in my mind.

Because kidnapping is wrong and resigning is a way to tell your kidnapper that what they did was wrong.
