WOTM: Dark & Terrible
Growing up Mormon, I always believed that there was a plan for my life, a God who watched over me, and a very happy ending awaiting me when I died. This reassuring narrative is one of the things I had to be willing to give up when I decided to pursue the truth. But the religious don't make that easy.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! B

Well... according to Douglas Adams, the three magic questions are: "Why are we born? Where do we go after our death? Why do we spend so much time in between carrying digital watches?" ... Mormons never answered question #3 !
Good point!
Sickest of all is that these "Plan of Salvation" zealots are so incredibly egocentric. After all, they think they were "chosen before they were born." Pffft. Never do they consider the harsh reality of those "spirits" or "souls" who were born, lived, and died all over the planet for millennia without ever knowing… wait for it… the "truth." "What? You were born a Tehuelche Indian in pre-Colombian times? A slave in the Roman Empire? The concubine of a Chinese ruler during the Ming Dynasty? The illegitimate daughter of a Viking invader? Oops. No celestial kingdom for you!”
