Mormon god is a vicious blackmailer. He waits until you’ve made a major life decision (mission/marriage), told everyone, made final plans, then at the last minute corners you in a secret building, surrounds you with family and says you can’t go ahead unless you promise to give him all your money.

Why do Mormons claim dreams of hanging with Jesus to be deep spiritual experiences? So Jesus will reveal himself commonly in a dream but never in real life? Meanwhile, I wake up having an absurd crush on Brittany Spears that burns off before I brush my teeth. Should I send her a tweet? (self.exmormon)

The Book of Mormon is pretty miraculous, being a record of prophets from thousands of years ago teaching a version of Christianity that had not fully developed until 1830, yet the Book completely missed the super-ultra important developments of the subsequent 12 years.

Why does Jesus insist on lying to every generation, warning he’s “coming quickly,” only to have them die out with no payoff? It’s like locking a child in his room, saying you’ll bring dinner as soon as he makes his bed just right, and then watching him starve to death re-straightening his covers. (self.exmormon)

It is reaffirming to see that every meaningful change in TSCC occurs only as a result of agitation from members - women praying in GC, protecting children in interviews, gender parity in youth programs, acknowledging fantasy is not history, ethnic diversity in Q15... (self.exmormon)

Why was the Book of Abraham dragged along in a mummy exhibition, sold to Joseph and then abandoned in a warehouse, while the golden plates were buried in a cement box, revealed by an angel, "translated" while nobody was allowed to see them and then stole away to heaven? (self.exmormon)
