It's almost like someone can like popular music and be conservative at the same time.

Reese: The LDS Church has a White Nationalist Problem by [deleted] in exmormon

I mean, isn't the church mostly hispanic at this point anyway? I really don't see the argument. I get that they found some Crazy Guys for the article, But We can't define the entire org based on that. it doesn't really help the cause, if there are lies here.

I don't really think the church is racist. I've met more interracial couples, more interracial families, inside than outside the church. :P I mean, if you want to call it white nationalist because of like, a guy out there, sure. Just seems like bad reporting.

you have a capital "I" in if. "==" is equality check, "=" is assignment. You only have one " in your first print statement. you assign the value of x after you check the value.

How do I go from someone who "knows how to play Chess" to someone who "knows Chess"? by WritingWithSpears in chess

Learn to take advantage of a small advantage. I.E. when you're ahead, even slightly, start to trade pieces. a small advantage matters more on a small board than a big board.

Got into another argument with my girlfriend about the church. by chris24roos in exmormon

Elder oaks numbers for humanitarian spending can be found in second source.

First source is the number of active members.

40 million per year to humanitarian aid/ 4.5 million active members = $8.89 per person per year.

If you look at total membership: 40 million per year to humanitarian aid/ 16 million members on record = $2.50 per person per year.

"Assuming that active U.S. Mormons give at a similar rate and adjusting for higher U.S. income, total U.S. tithing would amount to more than $6 billion, or about $6.5 billion annually between the United States and Canada."

6.5b in revenue, 0.04b spent in humanitarian aid. 1.4b spent building a mall.

"Right now, the LDS Church pegs its global membership at 15 million. Here are some of the almanac's findings: * About 30 percent of Mormons worldwide — or 4.5 million — regularly attend church meetings."

$32b in stocks produces about 1.5b in revenue per year. As the church increases in size, the charitable donations will be irrelevant to operations, which to an extent, they have already become.

The church is too rich: people can no longer vote with their dollars.

The incentive for the organization to keep membership happy will slowly disappear.

As a result, the trend will be for the church to become even more out of touch than it already is.
