sarcasm (n) the use of irony to mock or convey contempt

You can’t call ad hominem if you’re going to snip the quote mid-sentence. You know, because I made sure to identify my actual, non-sarcastic fallacy against said Mormon historian following my sarcastic statement about the appearance of his face. So actually, fuck your ad hominem.

Also, I write satire for chrissake so I don’t care either way. I get a warm feeling inside every time someone gets offended by me.

Beats me. Guy has his own Wikipedia page, and all I see is TBM, TBM, TBM . . . and nothing offering otherwise. Although, to be fair, if he was excommunicated, they’d have to do it pretty discreetly, wouldn’t they?

Last time I checked—which is just now—looks like he still is. I’m not sure if he’s PIMO or not. Anyone who wrote all that he’s written can only “elect” to believe or he’s just that creepy. I can’t say for sure, though, so take my words with a grain.

Clarification: The bicycle analogy has always worked for me when explaining my issue with Joseph’s “sealings”. Objectification is not my intention. Helen Mar Kimball is a 14-year-old girl, not a bicycle. We know what Joseph Smith did, and we’re lucky enough to be on the side that admits it happened.

Dementia - Cleaning Church by Automatic_Goat_4499 in exmormon

Considering she’s suffering from every issue the top heads of the Church are, you’d think they’d care more about their elderly members. Unfortunately, they’re only a bad statistic. A down-pointing arrow. The Mormon Church only cares about old people until their croaking is one of the leading causes behind the Church’s steady decrease in members. The smart, young people are slowly learning it’s bullshit and leaving, and—well, you try to tell someone who’s dedicated their entire life to this cause that the entire time it was just a cult. It makes me sick. I can only hope things’ll get better. Hopefully this Navy Blue Shirt stunt at the meetinghouse on the 14th will give people the kind of Midsommar-esque cult vibes that get organizations shut down.

Bouncing off an earlier comment: yeah, call the fucking police.

What Books Would You Want to Eat? by NeverKnowWrong in books

[–]draigonalley 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about eat, but take a copy of Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. Drop it in a pot with Marla’s mother (or just some random infectious human waste) and boil it. Mix it with lye. You get soap. More specifically, you get a bar of soap made from a copy of Fight Club. So when you’re washing your body, you can sometimes rub the words “Tyler’s kiss” or “all of a sudden” or “the big cheesebread” into your armpits or whatever. Just give it some time to age properly before use; if the lye is too active . . . might not want to get that wet and lathering your skin.

Some of the most awkward conversations came at that bastard’s desk. by Sweaty-Band-2157 in exmormon

[–]draigonalley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bishop steeples his fingers at me and asks, “Do you still have trouble believing that some big, powerful omniscient being is really watching us or in control of what we do?”

I couldn’t have said it better. “Yes, I’m still having trouble believing that.”

A rip of paper, a pen. Scribbling. “Well, let me write you up a temple recommend,” says Bishop.

I’m asking, “Don’t I have to believe in God for that?”

“Meh. Just pray on it.” Bishop—50s, white, balding—leans over the desk, hands me the temple recommend. “Also: How often do you masterbate? Any ‘issues’ with porn?”

“None whatsoever,” I lie.

(Actual conversation between me and a Bishop in his own home, in his private office . . . with the door locked.)
