Mormonism is a cult
Posted: Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:34 pm
The subject of this thread is a shocking revelation that only came to me for the first time this morning; Easter Sunday no less. Up until this morning, I did not realize that Mormonism is a cult, although the signs are everywhere. Sure, I've joked about it or baited apologists by saying it, but I'm generally defensive if somebody else who is born-again Christian makes the accusation. But now I finally realize that Mormonism is a cult to a higher degree than the born-again movement is, which is something I find difficult to accept but I think that it's probably true, as of this morning.
Last night I was watching a podcast on YouTube. The podcaster is a Canadian Asian guy, and has a business in a particular industry, and the subject matter is technical. He announces the CEO of a company with a big reputation in the industry will be joining him and I'm feeling some anticipation. So this younger guy gets on he's the CEO. He's got a major beard and I'm a little perplexed until it's revealed his dad was the founder and son took the reigns at his passing. There's a bit of a Tommy Boy moment going on here, for those who have seen that epic movie, but it turns out that the guy had worked with his dad his whole life and so he really did know what he was talking about. Not much was said about Dad, just enough to seal his points with Dad's reputation. Canada has a strong cluster in this industry, and I'm imagining these guys know each other and often in these clusters, all have podcasts and they take turns interviewing each other.
Anyway, the subject is purely technical. The CEO is getting into materials science, and as he's talking it hits me: this guy is Mormon. So I look really close, and yeah, there's definitely an undershirt of some kind going on. And then later, the CEO lists five things. The list of things loosely relates to the subject, but was extraneous information, and item 5 on the list would bring Mormonism to mind for most people. So the list was just assembled to sneak that in. If I were to meet this guy in another country, it was as if he were drawing the first half of an Ichthys on the ground, and if I were to draw the other half, we would recognize each other as brothers. Later, I looked it up online, and the origins go back to a small Utah town, so there it is.
Think about the Reptilian plot to take over the world. The thing about that plot is that the reptiles are successful people. They represent some of the best in every area, but it's all a ruse. Once revealed, the reptiles will admit that none of that other stuff ever mattered, it's all about the ritualistic eating of people. For Mormons, it's about the foundation story of Joseph Smith and his restoration. Trades, specialties, money, political posts; none of these things are real, success is granted by the Lord to draw interest to the fullness of the Gospel.
Where born-again Christians differ is that they don't hold back. After a few minutes, an enthused Christian will drop a "praise the Lord" or "bless his name" or mention church. My right-wing friend was blabbering about his silly beliefs within ten minutes of meeting him for the first time. In contrast, another guy I know from my walks I knew was Mormon the first time I met him. Tall, very handsome, perfect teeth, successful, major G line. After perhaps 3-4 years of his acquaintance, I finally completed the Ichthys and revealed I was one of them, even though he surely suspected it. I mean, we had both spoken of the portion of our lives from living in Utah but no matter how much I baited him, he wouldn't divulge the secret.
And even when Mormons do the little member missionary work that they do, they are coy about it, just like Reptilians. "Hey, you know, there's this thing happening tonight and ...."
So back to the podcast, it's so weird to think about, because here's this guy's dad, a brilliant and highly original engineer, and nothing he did really mattered in his own way of thinking about things, because it's all about this other guy, Joseph Smith, and his over-active imagination. Here is a world-class engineer who centered his life around a guy who couldn't even cook up a fake set of plates that would convince anybody and just used a tile brick as a prop most of the time. It's really mind boggling.
Anyway, I don't mention specifics about the podcast out of respect for the guy, they do some really cool stuff. And we can still respect people who unquestionably believe they are reptiles in a plot for world-dominance because that's what they were raised to believe. Their manner of doing anything at all should reflect good on the plot because they were raised to look at the world through this lens, and can't conceive of the world in any other way.
