@ikeWren @eris @monkey @vriska I just figured mormons were always talking about gender acceleration

@gamerrockettech @eris @monkey @vriska oh and drinking alcohol . that's a big No . did you even read my whiskeyposting

@gamerrockettech @eris @monkey @vriska i'm always saying shit like "fuck" that's like . the least mormon thing you can do . aside from being gay and transgender , both of which are also things that i am

@lizzie @Merc @anemone @eris @lewdthewides @monkey @vriska 7th day adventists are kind-of-sort-of social trinitarian as well as some eastern orthodox christians

@gamerrockettech @eris @monkey @vriska WHAT

@lizzie @monkey @anemone @Merc @lewdthewides @vriska @eris mormons are neither the only social trinitarians nor were they the first

@lizzie @monkey @anemone @Merc @lewdthewides @vriska @eris oh yeah for sure mormons are very much social trinitarians it's just a kind of ridiculous thing to disqualify them from christianity for and not even an original piece of theology

@Merc @anemone @eris @lewdthewides @monkey @vriska my wife disagrees with me exclusively based on the fact that mormons are social trinitarians instead of nicene trinitarians which isnt even a mormon thing . kinda funny to me

@Merc @anemone @eris @lewdthewides @monkey @vriska probably my most egregious mormon apologia but i do genuinely think that practical mormon theology has more in common with christianity than not

@allison @monkey @vriska @eris no officer it's not weed oil it's from bible. it's my divinely consecrated cbd

@Merc @monkey @anemone @lewdthewides @vriska @eris a lot of people make this argument because they have their own book of scripture but mormons still do believe all the most fundamental christian stuff (i.e. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, died for your sins, etc etc etc) and do still consider themselves christian . the subtitle of the book of mormon is literally "another testament of Jesus Christ" . so i think it makes the most sense to consider mormons christian . compare to the other abrahamic religions , which do not venerate jesus christ as their Savior and whatnot

@vriska @eris @monkey my dad had a tiny little vial of this stuff on his keychain for like years and years until covid+my coming out miraculously got my parents to leave the church

@vriska @monkey @eris oh that reminds me about how mormons have like basically their own version of holy water but it's oil . kinda funny

@anemone @lewdthewides @hakui @vriska @eris @monkey they kinda backpedaled on that and just removed that classification system entirely lmao

@eris @monkey @vriska honestly modern mormonism highkey lost its sauce . they used to have seer stones and wizard staffs nobody doing that shit anymore ... Sad!!

@vriska @eris @monkey the main similarity is just the Secretive Rituals but the mormon secretive rituals are kinda benign in comparison based on my understanding of the scientologist secretive rituals

@vriska @monkey @eris i Don't Agree mormons are basically weird evangelicals when you really get down to it scientologists are strange and scary

@monkey @vriska @eris oh hey this is a good time for the wren lore drop of I Was Raised Mormon Lol
