Political correctness in Mormonism

Post by _Buffalo »

You can't escape political correctness, even in the LDS church.

Gay = "suffering from same sex attraction"
Free agency = agency
Masturbation = self-abuse
Mutual masturbation = heavy petting
God = The Lord
Jesus = The Savior
Misogyny = patriarchal order

What have I missed?

You missed on the second and the last one. For the second, "free agency" is merely redundant or doesn't exist. For the last, misogyny doesn't exist in LDS organization or doctrine.

The brethren have made a specific point of dropping the "free" from agency because they don't like the idea of too much freedom.

Patriarchal societies are inherently misogynistic. Just as white supremacists are inherently racist.

Free Agency = Freedom to be cast into outer darkness if you choose wrong.
