Bad take of the day.
Capitalism doesn't reward brilliance—it rewards exploitation. The 'best and brightest' under this system are those most willing to grind workers into dust for profit. Real talent? Suppressed unless it generates returns for parasites. Only revolution changes this. #EndCapitalism
Yes, Joseph Smith was arrested and murdered in Jail. The Savior was arrested and crucified Peter was arrested and was crucified upside down Paul was arrested and beheaded Just like them, Joseph was innocent of the crimes he was accused of and died for proclaiming the truth.…
Truth!
Joseph Smith accomplished more than any mortal man could have accomplished in so short a time. During his 38 and a half years of life, Joseph Smith was a man of the frontier—young, emotional, dynamic, and so loved and approachable by the people that they often called him…
Imagine thinking a book which comes from scrolls, letters, and scraps of paper, which are then edited and compiled by men, then manually translated and copied numerous times by legions of unknown others, over a period of hundreds of years, and then after just a few copies are…
Who is this?
The fact that this is the most famous silhouette in the world.
God can reveal himself to people like he did to Saul, but he objectively usually doesn't. This is because God's goal is not "convert as many as possible". God's goal is the personal growth of all men. If you are to seek a sign you must first demonstrate what you would do with it.
I never thought about cats getting diabetes before. New worry unlocked.
The most “conformist” woman in the world. 😂😂😂

LDS members struggle to take evangelicals seriously because: 1. By their own standards, we are saved. Their only wiggle room is to use semantics (i.e. different Jesus). 2. God is love, but God also eternally condemns those that believe in Him if their theology isn't 100% right?
“If you’re going to have a religion, it should be full of wonders.” Imagine his surprise when he hears about Joseph Smith…
The fact that Protestants are so invested in denying the perpetual virginity of Mary is bizarre to me. Christianity is full of accepted miracles and other seemingly impossible beliefs - the incarnation itself is far more improbable than any Marian belief - and yet they try to…
Mormons absolutely believe in Jesus and they commonly live the principles in the Bible in a way I rarely see Catholics or Protestants do. Tithe 10%? Yes. Standard missionary work? Yes. Extremely service oriented? Yes. I'm a baptist, but I really like Mormons.

$400 for a carry on @Icelandair ? Imagine what happens if they start charging passengers based off their weight.
Truth. Our doctrine is not hard to find. It’s not found in an obscure statement or a single address.
I find this statement of Elder Andersen from 13 years ago to be extremely relevant & vital: "A few question their faith when they find a statement made by a Church leader decades ago that seems incongruent with our doctrine. There is an important principle that governs the…
My dad was in a car accident almost a year ago. He spent three weeks in a coma. During that time, the only things he could hear, if he heard anything at all, were my little brother whispering, “Fight, Dad,” and the Braveheart score playing softly from my phone. My mom never…
What’s the benefit of marriage for a man?
Driver pushes past the yield sign, pulls in front of me, inches to spare, forcing me to slam on brakes, and then acts like it’s my fault for driving in my lane. No please. You first. I insist.
