In my view, many consequences for perceived sin in the Mormon church are not necessarily natural consequences, but manufactured consequences. Consequences created by a dangerous cultish religion and designed to keep the flock in line. For example: premarital sex. Most people have sex before they’re ...

If you really think carefully about this, you will realize that it isn't the Church that is giving women a bad name, but women such as yourself who spew this kind of nonsense. Wade, I must have missed this the first time I saw your post, but this was totally uncalled for. If I recall correctly, you...

In no reasonably way could it be interpreted as a general commentary on the value of women in relation to men, nor can it in any reasonable way be viewed as viable example of the general perception of the Church and its members regarding their view of women in relation to men. Rather, it is an atte...

OK, people, I'm just going to say it because someone has to. Wade makes no sense. He's condescending, rude and and impervious to reason. He argues in circles and I think I'd do best to completely ignore him after this last comment. I didn't leave the Mormon cult over a lesson on licked cupcakes. YES...

KA, you must excuse me for being pretty ignorant about women's clothing, but what would a slip have helped? I don't get it. I'm with you Sethbag, I've no idea why it would have made any difference.

My experience in the Church as a male, has given me a diametrically opposite view of women in relation to men than the OP. Rather than viewing women as inferior, I grew up putting them on a pedestal. To me, they seemed near angelic even as humans, and something that was to be treasured and held in ...

I love this parody! What a fantastic job, Runtu. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you're a genius.

Runtu, I like your picture. I don't have one with a file size small enough to use as my avatar, so you should tell everyone who I look like. Please be nice and don't say Janet Reno, even though it's true.

I've posted this on RfM and FLAK, so many posters may have already read this essay. But I'm a newbie around here, and don't know who posts or reads where, so there may be a few people here who might enjoy this. Of course, there are undoubtedly posters here who won't like it at all and I understand t...
