Mormons try to gain sympathy for their participation in prop 8

Well the mormons are at it again. Using their media analysts and creative team to try to turn their image from participation in the proposition 8 passage from bigoted tyrant to picked on victim. This couldn't be farther from the truth. The LDS church has issued many statements, each cleverly worded describing their participation in the passage of prop 8 as "part of the democratic process" and they continue to make references to democracy, freedom of speech, and that it was the church members who made this happen not the "church" itself. All of this clever language attempting to draw sympathy to the LDS church does not surprise me. They have the money and the manpower to influence media and many many people, LDS members and nonmembers alike. With so much emphasis on democracy and tradition and rights I am reminded of one of the most famous articles which formed this nation. The Gettysburg Address in which the first line
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
Now I may be mistaken but I believe that says all men are created equal, leading me to believe that regardless of color, nationality, religious belief or so many other ways that men have devised to seperate themselves from one another, at the core we are all equal. Equal meaning deserving of the same rights. Oh thats right, it must mean all men except the gays right? Just like the mormons declining blacks the right to hold the priesthood in the 60's, only this is different. They needed to change their "doctrine" in order to appease their growing multicultural congregation which came in the form of "revelation". I guess unchanging god, the same god the is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, who is the same today and yesterday and will be the same tomorrow, must have changed his mind. Did god make a mistake? The difference between the issues of the past and the issues of the present is this....homosexuals DO NOT want or expect to have mormons accomodate them and marry in their holy temples. They probably do not have any interest in anything that remotely deals with mormons. So why does the LDS church feel so threatened by proposition 8. What special interest do they have in banning gay marriage besides carrying on their tradition of being a bigotous hate monger of a church, intollerant of all people and all beliefs but still spouting out teachings that they claim are "christian" in nature. Sure they are christian in nature in the same way that the crusades spread christian love. So really Thomas S. Monson my question to you is..What does it matter to you? What is your personal investment to this? How does this affect you at all? and How does this undermine the "traditional" family? It doesn't! Not anymore than your secret temple ceremonies with practically naked people wearing shields get washed and annointed and felt up by your temple workers (for more on temple ceremonies see my post on secret temple ceremonies) I say we take a vote on temple marriage, mormons shouldn't have a problem with that. Why don't we just open that can of cultish worms to the media and have a hayday with it. Im sure you won't mind if we destroy your families, expose all your secret signs, tokens and handshakes. So how about it?

The LDS church is not a victim. Neither are the supporters of prop 8. They knew what they were contributing to and supporting and now search for sympathy following the backlash. Well I have something for you. The LDS church can fuck right off! Stop your pouting and take responsibility for your acts of hate, power and downright disgusting behavior!

As for me, I will continue to convince as many members as I can to remove their names from the LDS church records and continue spreading my gospel of truth which is you can't trust mormons, or any other organized religion for that matter.

Peace!

Prop 8 Keith Olbermann

Wow!! A few thoughts from MSNBC's Keith Olbermann on prop 8..absolutely moving!

Prop 8 Protest. Salt Lake City Utah

Yours Truly with my funny sign

I was lucky enough to be able to attend the prop 8 protest at the mormon church headquarters on Nov 7. The turnout was amazing. There were hopes of maybe attracting 1000 protesters...however the spokesperson for the Salt Lake City police said they estimated a whopping 2,000 to 5,000 showed up! It was an absolutely amazing experience! Hopefully those dumb motherfuckers got the message, we are many, we are proud, and we will not settle for 2nd class citizenship. I have a few photos of me and my friends, and as soon as I get more I will upload them! Enjoy!

Me doing what I do best.....mocking dumb mormons

My friends and their signs!

The March took over the streets...forcing traffic to turn around, police had no choice but to watch.

The Mob chanting in Unison "Seperate Church and State" Shadows of figures came to the windows from the massive church office building to peer at the angry mob outside!!

Mormons and Prop. 8

So everyone seems to have heard that the crazy mo's have decided to butt their big noses in on the whole California Gay Marriage proposition 8 issue. Well as a bisexual male I feel that I should have the right to marry a man if I so choose. I'm not surprised that the LDS church has used their power over their members and their vast wealth to wage a campaign to ban gay marriage. Really why should they give a fuck?? Are they afraid their leadership hierarchy made of men will suddenly collapse because they will all run to california to get married?? I have a feeling the the LGBT community will not be calling trying to set up times to have their marriages performed in LDS temples! So what exactly is it that bothers them so bad?? How does giving the right for someone else to enjoy the bond of marriage affect them?? IT DOESN'T!! When I have proposed this question to several Mormons the response I get over and over again is "the bible says marriage is between a man and a woman" blah blah blah. This is the lamest possible response I have heard. Not only have I mentioned before that the bible is the biggest waste of paper and is only good for rolling your own cigarettes but secondly I don't see the mormons practicing all of the rest of the ancient traditions in the bible such as stonings, crucifixion, etc etc. So why is it that they seem to pick out the parts that they like....and ignore the parts that they don't like...I'll tell you why, because they have been taught over and over again to simply be led as sheep, to not ask questions, to not think for themselves.


The mormon church has definitely overstepped their bounds into the political arena, hopefully all of the negative press they have received will help more and more people take the steps to leave this religion based on bigotry, hate, and fear and start thinking for themselves and leading more fulfilled lives.


Below is a template of the letter I used for my own resignation from the church. Hopefully it will inspire people to take the first step and stand of for themselves and remove their names and distance themselves from such a deceitful controlling organization.

Date

Enter Adress information here

Dear (bishop, stake president etc),

I was born (enter date here) in(enter location). I was raised as a Mormon since birth, and baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (“the Mormon Church”), in the (Ward name), when I was 8 years old. My membership records are currently under your administration, in the (enter ward and stake information).

At this time, I officially resign from the Mormon Church. I wish to no longer be a member of the Mormon Church, and I require that my name be voluntarily removed from all church membership records, to reflect this fact.

In this voluntary removal process, I demand you and the Mormon Church to adhere to the following seven guidelines. The Mormon Church shall:

1. NOT impugn my character, slander my good name, nor disseminate any form of speculation, misinformation, or personal comments regarding me, to anyone.

2. NOT hold a church court, execute a disciplinary action, excommunicate me, or otherwise harass me, nor make any attempts thereto, since I have done nothing to warrant such an action. Nor shall the Mormon Church send any representative to attempt to persuade me not to remove my name from membership roles.

3. REMOVE my name from all membership records, cancel my baptism, revoke all ordinations to church “authority”, and remove all promise of “blessings” for obedience to such.

4. PROVIDE me with specific, written confirmation when this task is officially complete. This letter of confirmation will reflect that my resignation from the Mormon Church was not due to any pressure from or determination by Mormon Church authorities, but rather per my own request.

5. EXERCISE due diligence in carrying out this procedure. I hereby notify you that you have 90 days, (no later than enter date here) to provide written confirmation of my voluntary removal from the Mormon Church. Delays beyond this may result in my engaging legal counsel to pursue other options.

6. NOT contact any member of my family to notify them of my decision to remove my name from church membership roles. Any contact with any member of my family the Mormon Church in this regard would cause irreparable damage to my relationship with my parents.

7. NOT use my name in baptismal or other ordinances for the dead.

If you care to know my reasons for leaving the Mormon Church, I will say only that I do not believe in the doctrines, the authority or teachings of the Mormon Church. I feel it is important to disassociate myself from an organization that I find to be completely at odds with my personal beliefs.

I ask that you respect this resignation as an exercise of my religious rights as a United States citizen and in accordance with the Mormon Church’s own 11^th Article of Faith. Thank You.

Sincerely,

Yo yo! Gimme that secret handshake!!

Ok so I am sitting at work one day and I find this weird cover for a headrest for some table or something and for some odd reason I put in on my head...It just so happened to look like that ridiculous hat they make you wear during the temple ceremony's! Like some sort of fucked up baker hat/beret. Anyways I decided to take a nice little pic and this is what I ended up with!! lol. Dont forget to shake me with the sure sign of the nail!

My Mormon Patriarchal Blessing

Ok so let me see if I can give a quick run down on patriarchal blessings. I don't really feel like finding and quoting references so I'm going to go from the best of my knowledge and memory. Patriarchal blessings are usually given to "worthy" teenagers or young adults. The main purpose of a patriarchal blessing is to give you your ancient lineage, or in other words, tell you which tribe (of the 12 tribes of Israel) that you belong to. They usually include promises of blessings if you live your life in accordance to church teachings. They are given by a Patriarch, a man ordained just to give these blessings or revelations as they seem to be. Much of what is included is very general, some specific, all of which is FAKE. To receive the blessing you must meet with your church leader to make sure you are "worthy" and "ready" to receive this blessing. It's very hard to explain to a non mormon but it's almost as if its looked at a fortune telling blessing you are entitled to. You are not supposed to share your patriarchal blessing, it is supposed to be very personal and private. I however, obviously think it is complete bullshit. That is why I have posted my original blessing below, just to give people an Idea of how assinine they actually are.

Mormons, Polygamists and lots of stupid LDS shit!

Have no fear I have not lost my disgust for Mormonism!! I have simply been too busy with work and school to sit down and write a few things. The ideas have been cooking. I realized I haven’t posted any drafts of the letter template I used to remove my name from the church records. Below is a copy of the letter I used. Keep in mind that it takes months for them to actually get off their asses and remove your membership information. In my specific case it took about 6 months, and I sent 2 reminder letters and one letter threatening legal action. I will also be working at scanning in a copy of my patriarchal blessing. This is a blessing given to either teenagers or adults which is supposed to act as sort of a guide for your life…..not necessarily like fortune telling but kind of. At the moment I don’t have the information but when I have it ready I will post a copy of my blessing along with the official church definition of what a patriarchal blessing is for.

As for those polygamists in TX. Well they are obviously fundamentalist whack jobs, no question about it. My favorite part of the whole saga is that every time I look in the newspaper or TV or anything I always see discussions with Mormons wanting to clarify that they are in fact not associated with the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ. On a technical note sure they might be right, one says “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints” and one decided to add the word “Fundamentalist”, same difference in my opinion. They both stem from the same seed. That fact is irrefutable. We all know what bigoted pigs founded the church. Joseph Smith being the key player of course. It is a fact that Mormons still do believe in polygamy in the afterlife. The only reason they ever decided to “stop” practicing it was to expedite statehood, that was the ONLY reason. Well and of course we know that back in those times Viagra wasn’t invented so how was a dirty old bastard like Brigham Young supposed to make love to 40 wives when he couldn’t even get it up??

Hmmmm what else do I have to write about. Oh yes, I remember, at a family BBQ a few weeks ago my all mormon brainwashed uncles and aunts were sitting around discussing church as usual. Somehow I heard someone get on the topic of how we were in the “last days” a term I had heard my entire life, how the millennium would come soon and the world would end or be cleaned with fire and Christ would once again reign on his earthly throne. LOL. Ok so anyways I heard some family members talking about how there were sooo many wars, and natural disasters, and people starving and all these types of calamities happening which certainly signified that “the end was near” I started to chime in and share my 2 cents but stopped myself because I couldn’t remember the exact reference to back up my argument. After a little research I found it. I remembered that somewhere in the mormon scripture of Doctrine and Covenants that Joseph Smith had prophesied the end of the world. In section 130 of the doctrine and covenants Joseph talks about what will happen in the second coming of Christ in verses 14-17 Joseph says he was praying very earnestly when a voice came and told him that if he lived until the age of 85 he would see the face of the son of man. Joseph said he didn’t know whether this mean the end of the second coming/destruction or the beginning or whether that would be when he would die and then he would see christs face. Either way he was dead wrong…lol…no pun intended. Obviously the second coming did not happen when prophesied. Joseph did not live to be anywhere near 85 years old (thank goodness, he did plenty of damage in his short life). So what explanation have we for this mystery?? One mormon told me that since joseph didn’t live till the age of 85 the prophecy is not valid. What do you mean??? A prophecy is a prophecy, fate is fate, in their minds these are things that are not variable, they do not change. Hmmmm, guess that means that he was not a prophet. DUH.

Awesome new quote from Albert Einstein

"The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish."

Ok I had to add one more on mormon missionaries

I found this one and couldn't resist. Now I in no way side with the christians in the conversation because...well...I don't believe in christ. But this is pretty funny how this guy shuts these morons up and leaves them speechless. Enjoy!!

Funny clip on mormon missionaries

Thanks Mark for sending me this link. This is hilarious. That old lady is my hero! Enjoy! (Don't worry, there is some serious blogging to come in the next few weeks, masterpieces take time :) )

Mormon Missionaries - Fucking idiots

Well I just happened to run across this video on mormon missionaries. Let me tell you from personal experiences that my mission experience was by far the worst experience of my life. I have never ever before in my life seen such manipulation at work than when I was preparing for my mission and even worse in the MTC or missionary training center. It is pretty hard to explain this unless you actually experience it, and most of the people that have experienced it are still under the influence of mormon indoctrination and will tell you it was the best 2 years of their lives filled with such faith building and wonderful experiences. Believe me, going out day after day and being forced to harass people isn't as glamorous as these ex missionaries portray it. And whats worse is that every single missionary is paying $450 a month to be out there converting more members just to have the church make a little profit off of the new member tithing money. No wonder Provo Utah is the multilevel marketing capitol of the world. They get good tips from the biggest multilevel marketing scam in the world...The Mormon Church. Well I'm sure you believe me when I say I have much much more to write on this subject...all in good time. For now enjoy this clip I found.

My affair with Brigham Young

Well who knew that Brigham Young was such a good kisser....or that he liked guys. Maybe he had all those wives to cover up his secret sexual identity...who knows! LOL

Bible for dummies??

Ummmm wow! Do I really need to comment. Is there any other kind of bible??? :)

Was Jesus gay? And if he was...would it matter??

This one is kinda old but I watched it again today and had to add it. Pat Condell is awesome!

Mormon Church fundamental flaws

Well here I am not in the mood to write much tonight. Seeing as it's 1:30am and I have to work tomorrow, but there has been something on my mind for the past few days. First off, I just don't comprehend how anybody that claims to have "morals" and brains can rationalize the obvious flaws with the Mormon church. First off speaking of prophets, since there has been soooo much talk about the recent death of the prophet Gordon B. Hinckley. Somehow Mormons missed the memo about their all great leader and founder Joseph Smith. I mean first he makes up some bogus story about angelic figures and plates of gold and blah blah blah. Tonight I would like to focus on the latter part of his life. I have written about this before but feel it necessary to expound. Somehow people miss the fact the he was a criminal. He was wanted by the president of the united states for charges of treason. Somehow people also forget how he landed his prophetic ass in carthage jail. Well lets talk about that. There was a publication at the time called the Nauvoo Expositor. They just happened to run a story on polygamy and ties with Joseph Smith Jr. He became so outraged at the article that he ordered the printing press and facilities where the Nauvoo Expositor was created, destroyed. That is how he landed his lousy ass in jail. Now if he had nothing to hide and polygamy was "ordained" from god to him, why would he be so mad? Was he afraid that the people would start to catch on and expose his personal harem? Was he afraid that fact that he was a no good womanizing bigot who used his so called "priesthood authority" and "revelations from god" to coerce young women into marriage? Those few tidbits and FACTS about his life are more than enough reasons why any sane person would realize that he was no more than a complete fraud and common criminal. Sounds like a paralell with modern day Warren Jeffs. Lets reflect on Smith's personal bodyguard Porter Rockwell. A man who killed many, many enemies of Smith.(sounds real christlike to me, since jesus killed so many of his enemies right) And lets not forget Smith's personal army. The Danites. His very own personal battalion of brainwashed souls prepared to lay down their lives for a lier and fraud. Well I think writing all this tonight has just disgusted me, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE MORMON PEOPLE THAT THEY SEEM TO PURPOSELY TURN A BLIND EYE TO SUCH DAMNING EVIDENCE. You fuckin got me... Well until then I suppose I can only offer support and insight to those poor poor souls who are trapped in this lie. Until next time.. Cheers. and God Bless Atheism!!

Entire script - Mormon Temple Ceremony and pics of the Signs and tokens (secret handshakes)

After looking for this for a while I finally found an accurate complete script of the extremely bizzare Mormon temple ceremony. This script is viewed as a movie ( I have searched for the movie and am still determined to find a clip of it to post) Take a look at this site, very informative and accurate.

Complete mormon temple ceremony script

I also found a page the shows the ridiculous clothing worn and pictures of the mormon handshakes, or handclasps(part of the signs and tokens). Sounds like secret combinations to me....something to think about. Check out the secret mormon handshakes here.

Mitt Romney Making an Ass out of himself!

This is a real nice video of presidential candidate Mitt Romney making an ass out of himself trying to scramble defend his religion. He talks too much! I love how worked up he gets! It would be fun to ruffle his feathers!! With all that talk and excuses maybe he really doubts his own faith?? Something to think about.

One of my favorite Mormon south park episodes

Dumb, dumb dumb dumb dumb!! lol. (sorry I think it has Portuguese subtitles or something but its the only one I could find)
