Hey all. reddit decided to add an attribute to the reddit API which makes submitting comments an endeavor that becomes difficult. You may not get snapshots periodically while this issue is being resolved.

Sorry about that. :/

I do think it's weird that /r/exmormon keeps hitting the frontpage while /r/exmuslim barely makes it, since Islam is much bigger than mormonism.

Oh wait, i do not find that surprising at all on Reddit.

Mayocide when?

What? Is that suicide by mayonnaise?

It’s genocide against mayos, because mayo is like cancer in a jar. From Best Foods to Hellman’s, store bands and vegan copies - even miracle whip is not safe.

*except jews

To be fair, if you leave Mormonism you'll most likely lose you're family, spouse (if married) and in some cases, your job. Then you will condemned to "the outerdarkness".

If you're an exmuslim there's a good chance you're dead.

I'm an exmuzzie and i only lost my family, so that's not entirely true.

he said good chance idiot not a guarantee

Rude!

sry

😢

Yes but are you stoned?

Suggesting that maybe Reddit & it's users have an agenda to make sure the "religion of peace" is portrayed in a positive light?

to be fair lots of muzzie places are shitholes with little access to internet.

Well, muslims kill ex-muslims. Mormons just vilify ex-mormons and don't invite them to their alcohol-free, family friendly boring social events.

Don't think it's that weird. It's an American website, and Mormons make up 2% of the American population, whereas Muslims account for only 1%.

Well, /r/exmuslim's subscriber count is currently 24,682 while /r/exmormon's current subscriber count is 58,238. That's over twice the amount of subscribers (around 2.4 times as much).

Islam is much bigger than mormonism

True, but a lot of Muslims (and thus, ex-Muslims) live in countries where reddit isn't really a popular form of social media, while Mormons do live in those countries.

That, and the death penalty/massive social stigma for apostasy

since Islam is much bigger than mormonism.

Except not in the US it isn't. 6.1 million Mormons vs 3.3 million muslims.

And while both are relatively small numbers the Mormon church virtually controls the politics of an entire state and almost had a member as president.

I don't think it's at all unreasonable to Mormonism is a bigger issue in US than Islam is

Not to mention it could also just mean there are more ex-mormons than there are ex-muslims

Right, because Islam is such an attractive religion.

Clearly that's the only possible reason less people leave it

And the fact that you'll get murdered if you leave :(

Joseph Smith is such an obvious fraud, the only explanation for the continued existence of the Mormon church is congenital retardation

That second “m” is, and has always been, a typo.

Fedora tipping aside, it's really strange how people can look at Mormonism and not see that it's an obvious fraud.

The difference between a cult and a religion is a few hundred years.

And enough money

Tips fedora

I don't think people join because they actually believe any of the garbage. They do it for the social/community aspects and then slowly convince themselves that going along with the idea that Jesus rode dinosaurs is okay.

Jesus rode dinosaurs

Every comment is highly sus in r/drama, so most likely this is a troll, but where did you hear this about the LDS church?

And putting aside the fact that there's nothing about dinosaurs in mormon doctrine, any church that canonized the idea of Jesus preaching from the back of a T-rex is fine by me for the cool factor alone.

Hey I was just trying to be funny, but you have to admit a T-Rex riding Jesus is a lot more amusing than the reality of magical mormon underwear

I like the part where according to Mormons the Indians were actually israelites, but the good israelites were white, while the bad ones are indian color

So, for the Mormon brigadiers whenever they show up, if I join your whacked-out cult do I actually get to have a planet full of nubile wives in the afterlife?

what is nubile

(☞゚ヮ゚)☞

what is this im looking at, what is this little thing right there, i dont understand. are you insulting me?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

i dont get it what is uhhh, what is that lil uh thing right there what is it, some sort of uh lil mouth or sumthin?

Edward?

A couple of Joseph Smith’s wives, apparently.

No. I have no idea where this came from.

Sincerely,

A Mormon who already lurks /r/drama

I think you have to get the wives before you die, right? Which means any Drama poster is shit out of luck

Well we don't do polygamy anymore. I personally think it's sketchy but everything in the past is so whatever. But yeah, you have to get married and sealed to each other for eternity in the Temple. You make covenants and if either one breaks them, the seal is broken. So you ain't stuck with your cheating husband for eternity.

You guys are gonna feel pretty silly once polygamy gets legalized

How do you feel about the fact that Joseph Smith was closer to Warren Jeffs than Thomas Monson?

Do you live in Utah and not drink booze? Just trying to gauge how hard I should judge you.

I live in Texas and don't drink booze. Does that help?

But polygamy was supposed to be the word of god through the prophet. Shouldn't it be pretty significant that you think that its "sketchy"?

Nope. prophets are still men, they can do wrong things. But that sounds like you can pick and choose what words are true, but it's more of a personal testimony thing with God. I don't have a testimony of many things about the church, but I do have a testimony about some things, so I'm happy to stay to learn and pray more. I'm confident that if I studied about the history of polygamy in the church, and prayed about it, I'd receive a testimony.

The fuck are you talking about

religion

The fuck is a testimony

So your prophets lie about receiving the word of God for personal gain?

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

prophets are still men, they can do wrong things

Then how can you trust anything they say? Do you just filter the entire thing thru what you think is right and say anything else was just a mistake? Do you have 2 or wives with feminine penises? Why aren't the sects that still practice polygamy trying to convince all the men who don't get wives to become women as to give more men wives?

But that sounds like you can pick and choose what words are true, but it's more of a personal testimony thing with God

So you choose and pick what you believe and say god done did it

Mormonism, not even once

Well we don't do polygamy anymore.

Are there any other examples of a boring religion actually choosing to become more boring?

All of them?

That's....actually a decent point.

I dunno, are there any religions that at some point decided that pre-marital sex is ok after all?

Well we don't do polygamy anymore.

and this is why Mormons are lame. Without the multiple underage wives your just catholics with magic underroos

No, the federal government made them give that up. But you can get magical underwear while you're alive and your own planet when you die.

Shits like weird Christian fanfic

It literally is. And the guy that wrote this shit was a known conman, even at the time.

I've investigated and determined that...

mormons are not as popular as they think they are.

CASE CLOSED CHRISTTARDS!

I fucking hate mormons so much. Almost as much as I hate hippies. Almost.

Mormonism is like the weird rich white kid in your friend group who has a strangely close relationship with his mother and tells on everybody at a party if someone brings beer

The fact that the atheist and leftist parts of reddit love to attack mormons is no small part of the reasons why i am an investigator.

The fuck does that mean? An investigator?

/u/josephsmidt I think you should off yourself, but not before you off some of your fellow cult members. If every mormon suddenly died, the world would be a better place. Are you a pedophile like your Great Leader?

Imagine getting butthurt over Mormonism. The most boring of the white man's religions.

user reports:
5: It threatens violence or physical harm at someone else
1: It's targeted harassment at someone else

That is a lot of reports. Site-wide rules, yo.

I triggered the mormons lmao

Maybe so, but the admins have been pretty strict lately. Better your comment be deleted than the sub, famalam.

This is censorship and that breaks the first commandment. I'm calling my lawyer.

I am a lawyer. I can save you $500 by telling you to blow me.

Well if you say so

I lied. $500 please.

No I need money for transvestite prostitutes

I respect that

Was that War and Peace Who tf has time to type all that

/u/josephsmidt there is no conspiracy, the reality is that most people here don’t like your cult and if that fact is too hard for you to understand, you can put your magic underwear to protect you from the truth.
