Mormonism is far worse
I bet they’re losing a lot of their kids from their religion because of what’s on there. That was my immediate thought.
Yeah, this seems more to do with the content available on tiktok (like pro-gay messaging) rather than anything else. They want it banned so they can create a little fundie safe space. It’s the same reason they want to ban any books from libraries with even a hint of pro-lgbt content.
I think it has more to do with how their religion is build.
It’s possible for more than one thing to be bad, we don’t have to pick just one of the two.
“worse” generally means more bad than another thing that is also bad.
It also implies that one (the worst one) deserves more attention. In this case we should probably be paying attention to both.
That’s not true at all. Are members of the Church of Jesus Christ misguided in how they treat their fellow members and their youth? Yes. But its fundamental teachings (not the toxic traditions of the members) are one of peace, love, and hope. This type of comment is rude, and offensive, and if it were regarding another group this kind of comment would be downvoted. But because it’s against a religion it’s ok to shit on their beliefs? This sentiment only breeds toxicity, and if we really want to help others who are affected by the toxic behaviors of all groups, we need to start with ourselves and how we treat (and look at) those whose beliefs differ from our own.
The mormon church explicitly told their members to vote no on legalizing gay marriage.
My grandfather died years earlier than he would’ve because the money they would’ve spent on treatment went to tithing, and the church refused to help.
I was bullied and isolated throughout my childhood because all the kids around me were taught by their church to be disgusted by me because I’m queer.
Utah is a shameless theocracy and the church’s influence has done disgusting things everywhere I look, and as a final “fuck you” I’m probably going to have to move because of the increasing paranoia they’re creating about trans people.
