Ideas About Religion

In speaking with me recently ex-LDS brother  a few weeks ago, I came to a sudden realization: ex-LDS members may have read and interpreted the scriptures, but they 'often fail to understand it, (my brother is not the first ex-LDS member I have known by the way). In addition, they also dissent from the apostolic leadership, presuming them to be wrong on several important doctrinal issues, rationalizing their point by even thinking God would be of the same mind as they are. Finally they abandon faith for more readily perceivable and concrete facts. This is why currently they tend to turn to science for answers. 

The Truth is Now 'Victim Blaming'

Its official, the truth is 'victim-blaming'. In other politically correct news, the sky is no longer 'blue' and water is no longer 'wet' because these terms promote rape culture... somehow. Not sure yet but our Social Justice Warriors are hot on the case and any day now will come up with a wholly plausible explanation for the ban, absent logic and reason because those are terms the promote patriarchy... somehow. Not sure yet on that one either but our Social Justice Warriors are hot on that case too.  All we need now is to reach our pledge goal of 1 billion dollars, which Uncle Sam has already matched to aid in this righteous pursuit of impartial social rectitude. 

Do MoFem's Really Love and Appreciate Men?

While continuing to read profiles in an effort to understand, I came across yet another snippet which I had to address, both to help illuminate my understanding and to get things off my chest.

So Mormon Feminists Believe in Rape Culture?

I never thought MoFem's would subscribe to such asinine feminist theories, but here is an excerpt from their site on MoFem 101:

More on MoFem's

Do MoFem's fight for equality? "While equality is the overall goal of feminism, feminists can disagree over what “equality” means and how to achieve this goal." Let's take a look (From their webpage under MoFem 101):

Mormonism and Feminism Go Together Like Spaghetti and Cat Vomit.

It's been awhile but I've decided to look up and see the feminist legacy that dear old Kate Kelly who was recently excommunicated only to then have other feminists go to the main scream media and put even more pressure on the church to give in to their ideological demands.

MRHM and Mormons

Recently I have noticed something within the Men's Rights movement that has given me pause for questioning my social stance. I identify with the MRHM, but realize that I am not very popular. Mormons within the movement have always been there and identify well with the MRHM, but we are also hated for various reasons, sometimes because there are those who hate what we are, but also by those who simply don't agree with us on every point. Take BR Merrick for example, a writer for AVfM, who came out in response to an article declaring an alliance between Mormonism and the MRHM that was mostly negative because Mormons don't embrace homosexuality.
