WOTMQ: Mormon Racism Is Disqualifying
I've talked quite a bit in the past about Mormonism's problem with race. There are three videos in particular I can point to. But it occurred to me recently, that I've overlooked a very important aspect of that problem this whole time. It's about the timing, and what it says about the Mormon god. It's bad enough when God ignores stuff as part of a two thousand year trend of ignoring things. But when he ignores the evils going on right now, and you're chatting him up with some regularity...? That's disqualifying. Done. And done!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Three more. And I'm saving the two I know you really want to see for last. #bastard B

Wait, do the Mormons not have a whole, "We are fallen and hopelessly corrupt" thing in place?
Mormons do not believe in original sin if that’s what you’re asking. And their view of humanity is infinitely more gracious.
And there's more to the story. Joey wasn't even original: he was plagiarizing other christians who claimed Africans were cursed with a dark skin because they were descendents of… Cain (as later shown in his other fiction, the Book of Abraham). He decided to simply apply the same belief to the darker skinned Native Americans in his Book of Moron. And yet there's even more to the story. For years in our former cult, the doctrine taught was that those born into these "cursed" lineages on earth had been wishy-washy fence-sitters in a pre-mortal existence, when Jesus and Lucifer were having a "War in Heaven" over how to best carry out Mr. Deity's plan of redemption. You can't make this stuff up! But Mormons certainly do.
I need to do yet more videos on this topic apparently. Maybe I’ll do a reading from “The Church and the Negro.”
The people’s house of prayer church had a painting of a black Jesus that looked like Chris Rock with a Mullet. Thinking of it. I think I’d much rather take a Chris Rock Jesus sermon on the mount any day of the week over Vanilla Jesus.
It would be much funnier. And there'd certainly be sex jokes. #winning
When I was in Kindergarten, I (a white kid) got to look through a book of Bible stories owned by one of my classmates who was a black girl. In that book, everybody was black, including Jesus. But every Jesus I had ever seen was white, like me. I asked my mother why our Jesus is white while the black girl's Jesus is black, and the best she could come up with is that there was a Jesus for every race. Thus were sown the seeds of my eventual realization that man created God in his own image, instead of the other way around.
What a great story. Get your Jesus! Right here! We've got your Jesus for you. Black Jesus. White Jesus, Asian Jesus. Whatever kind of Jesus you want? We've got 'em for ya!
I would love to see a segment on how the king James Bible books were chosen. Like how did he get to pick it and what if god wasn’t feeling his remix. Amazing video as usual.
Are you talking about the actual KJV or how the Bible came together originally. Both are somewhat fascinating and worthy of a video. Good idea!
What always gets me is how this all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful, etc, God is surprised when people do naughty things and punishes them for it. Surely He can't have it both ways? If you're all-everything, then *you* must be responsible for whatever happens.
As I always say, "With all power, comes all responsibility."
