    Anyone who grew up Mormon should have already known the largely evangelical Christian nationalists would like to destroy Mormons in the top ten wish list of people to harm if they ever get power. this isn’t confusing at all. it’s willfully ignoring reality.

        It’s shocking how little they understand that Evangelicals genuinely think Catholics are closer to Satan than Satan is.

      Which is wild, considering they’re ideologically aligned. I guess the Mormons are one step too culty.

    Here’s an idea, let’s not have a list of “recognized” religions at all.

    And while we are at it, Mormons and Christians and all of the rest should pay taxes, they’re disgusting vampires.

      There is a valid purpose. Sikhs have special requirements for grooming. Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Buddhists, and Hindus have dietary requirements. Quakers are pacifists. In general having a list of religions you’re prepared to accommodate is valuable for a military

          It’s important for drafts where pacifists often get sent to working in military hospitals or other lifesaving nonviolent roles. “You ain’t allowed to kill? Cool you’re gonna do nothing but save the lives of folks who can.”

            And UXB squads. Pacifist doesn’t mean no balls/labia, and you need a big swingin’ pair of 'em to sit and de-fuse a 500lb. aerial bomb.

      Here’s an idea, let’s not have a list of “recognized” religions at all.

      If we don’t have a list of legally recognized religions, we won’t be able to rationalize pogroms against the illegal ones.

      Don’t you want to purge the county of Muslims? Don’t you want to send all the Jews to Israel? Don’t you want all those Communist Atheists rounded up? I hear a bunch of them work for the CCP.

    Zero sympathy MAGA fucknut. The Christian Nationalists and Project 2025, that you voted for and support, are a reminder from getting chased out of Illinois, Missouri and almost losing in Utah. Go fly a kite racist loser!

    I find it hard to believe he actually cares much. These types all value their personal power and wealth over everything else, including religion

    He’ll shut up and sit down like a good little Mormon when it comes down to it

    “Religious denominations”

    Uh huh. We totally believe you don’t mean Christian denominations, and if you were still in the leopards’ in-group you’d be using this same language to defend our muslims, jews, atheists, and even wiccans in uniform.

    Fuck this guy yesterday and fuck him today too.

    I like working against the wellbeing of people so long as those people aren’t me. For real though Mormonism is just diet scientology.

      everyone with a lick of hindsight knew that eventually being a straight christian wouldnt be enough if youre black, or a white christian not enough if you’re gay, or even a straight white christian man if youre not the right type of white or flavor of christian

      Eventually these groups cannibalize their own.

    Hey, senator dumb fuck, maybe dont exclude/include people based on religion.
