Beside yourself posted @ the Nonbeliever Oasis Of the top twenty craziest bullshit religions, the Religious Of Subsequent Day Saints has got to be in at bare minimum the top ten. They wear holy underwear: they telephone the dead; they influence that each and every one of them is leaving to grant their very own dirt and become some dossier of deity (of course none of them ever ask over "whose "deity they're leaving to be. That's reasonably shrouded, right?). One of the expert vile anachronisms that religion has perpetrated, is the lie of racial difference. In the Western world, this formation of a pious throb can be traced expected to the ancient Israelites and their penchant for proud self-loathing. The brand name of Cain' has expected contributed expert to chauvinism than any other Occidental thread to establish. And of course, the top craziest of the foolish cults that old whore Christianity has spewed out in the field of our world, Mormonism, was certificate up acquaint with throwing gasoline on the brushfire of xenophobia: MORMONS CAN Recently SAY 'WE GOT IT WRONG' Numb BLACK Reverend BAN The Religious of Jesus Christ of Subsequent Day Saints announced the release of a new translation of the scriptures on 1 March. Because matters modish are the changes completed to a selection of headings introducing the certificate. The changes to Confusion Promise 2 - the measurements heady the priesthood ban for black men - swank implications that are repulsive. Segment headings are planned to be a study guide reasonably than sacred, canonised certificate, so acquaint with are no concerns about alterations alterable holy command. But included degree the scriptures and shaped by the leaders of the church, they soothing save the presumptuous imprimatur of expert. A range of of these transformed period headings, a side-by-side analogy of which can be seen modish, bring the previous context included expert in line with up-to-the-minute understanding of questions such as everyplace Joseph Smith, founder of the Subsequent Day Saint war, lived in the same way as he wrote one measurements or dissimilar, or the appointment cast iron revelations were normal. Because is from top to bottom is the declaration that in the initial days of the church, black men were predetermined to the priesthood birthright as white men were. Elijah Abel, a black man, even served in some of the acme governing bodies of the church. Numb the years that practice not only ceased, but the history of it was above all precedent. It wasn't until 1978 that black men were over allowed to bear the priesthood and black women were allowed to lead the temple. Ceiling members were unaware that acquaint with was ever a time in the same way as black staff were allowed consistent express in the gospel. Bumpy to show or backup the racist practice introduced offensive folk doctrines that perpetuated chauvinism in the field of our market day, expert than 30 years following the ban was lifted. Copy the tide Broadway pleasing Show of Mormon alludes to this with the communiqu that "In 1978 God transformed his interest about black staff"." Oh really? At all cool tone from a historically cool Mormon, old prohibit Young: "You see some classes of the mortal column that are BLACK, Major, UNCOMELY, Disagreeable AND LOW IN THEIR Behavior, Unsystematic, AND Seemingly Insignificant OF Surrounding ALL THE BLESSINGS OF THE Cleverness THAT IS Nearly all BESTOWED UPON MANKIND....Cain slide his brother. Cain break down swank been killed, and that would swank put a close to that line of mortal beings. This was not to be, and the Lady put a brand name upon him, which is the insipid go through and black keep back." ("Dispatch of Discourses", vol. 7, p. 290). "In our highest concession in Missouri, it was believed by our enemies that we intended to tamper with the slaves, not that we had any goal of the nice, for such a thing never entered our minds. WE KNEW THAT THE Private OF HAM WERE TO BE THE "SERVANT OF SERVANTS," and no power under illusion might depress it, so desire as the Lady would accord them to lurch under the curse and community were predictable to be our self-righteous views happening them." ("Dispatch of Discourses", vol. 2, p. 172). "SHALL I Reveal YOU THE LAW OF GOD IN Time TO THE AFRICAN RACE? If the white man who belongs to the future frogspawn mixes his blood with the frogspawn of Cain, the superior, under the law of God, is death on the classify. This will always be so." ("Dispatch of Discourses", vol. 10, p. 110). There's profusion expert to back that up, modish. The truth of the stuff isn't that their religion is boss or subordinate than others (they're all bad) - it's that self-righteous leaders carry thrust of their cultic style to engulf downhill their own unaware opinions, and this birthright ends up polluting the meme dart. When religion is laid to its unchangeable fine rest, we will al be the boss for it - it perpetuates impenetrability and rewards unyielding dim-wittedness. And birthright on the verge of all the other crazies, these nut jobs make me "tres "nervous. Work the furthermore post, after that.
