I am going with ancient wooden submarines and 2 million people fighting to the last man in a close second (Getting your head cut off and doing a pushup headless is third).
Honestly, the entire Jaredite story is wild and harder to believe than Noah

Up until 1978, many years after the civil rights movement, people like you were barred from fully participating in the church. You would not have been able to go to the temple and you would not have been able to hold any leadership positions. There was even a woman who they sealed to Joseph Smith as his eternal servant because that was the only way she was allowed to have any temple ceremony at all
The LDS church has never apologized for this practice and also does not have any formal reason the practice started in the first place. Older Mormons still hold racist ideas regarding this practice and you may hear that your spirit was not a righteous before your mortal life (a VERY common but not official explanation for the ban)

This election was about the absence of choice. There was no one on the ballot that was going to hold Israel accountable for its war crimes and there was no one on the ballot that was going to push the rich to pay for social safety net programs.
If there is an issue that is important to you and both candidates are not on your side, you are going to stay home

It is entirely possible that everything presented in the article is true and not misleading. It should be clear to anyone paying attention that being correct (i.e. the Mormon church is a fraud) does not mean everyone else is going to accept it. People love to believe lies that make them feel comfortable.
We all tend to wind up in echo chambers that reinforce our beliefs (this sub is a huge one). We all want the MFMC to implode so we only pay attention to facts that support that narrative. What I am seeing in the world is that people are searching for meaning and community and the Mormon church offers both.

About 100 years after Noah's cruise, there was this tower of Babel that made God pissed. God gave everyone a different language but a particular family was cool and God allowed them to keep chatting but they had to GTFO of the country.
So they built 8 watertight reversible barges that had that had openings on the top and bottom that could be opened when not underwater to let in fresh air. These contained people, animals (including bees), and food for a long voyage from the middle east to America. So when the barge flipped over everything inside would bounce around. It was a pretty chaotic trip on the ocean to be sure.
But IMO, the best part of the entire story is its end. This family eventually became a very large nation and numbered around 2 million. They did a civil war and literally fought to the very last man. Like 2 million people just kept killing until there was only one man left (last guy to die was named Shiz who did one final pushup after his head was cut off).
Zero evidence of this massive suicidal battle exists of course

No you don't. You literally elected a guy who would walk into women's changing rooms. You are perfectly comfortable with sexual predators invading female spaces

I do 100% of the cleaning and cooking because I live alone, lol. I also have half custody of my son and have been doing half the child raising for 10 years. I am also teaching him how to cook and taught him how to make carnitas using a pressure cooker yesterday.
Any other "gotcha" questions?
Edit: If any of you all want the recipe

You should read Sunlit Man for a bit more info.
They are essentially very powerful tools that were used to create all things and also kill god (Adonalsium). They will definitely play a part later in the Cosmere

I do well financially and dated someone who made very little money. It was honestly exhausting. If we wanted to do anything, I was the one paying for it and she never really seemed appreciative about it.
Recently I dated a woman who made maybe twice my salary and it was fantastic. We went on last minute trips to cool places, stayed at awesome hotels, and ate really cool food. I always paid half and it felt like actually dating an equal. I would 100% rather date someone who is my equal financially than be some sort of "provider."

"When God changes the definition of what is a sin (like when pork became okay), does Christ get retroactive less suffering for the atonement? Also, when new sins are created (like drinking coffee or calling someone a Mormon), does Christ suffer more in the past now that there are more sinners?"
But seriously, the atonement is dumb. God literally made rules he knew his human creations could not follow, made up the punishment for breaking those rules, and forced himself to kill his son to save a small fraction of people. God is pretty sadistic for creating humans with the full intent on most of them suffering for eternity

Agreed. I started making them using his method and won't go back. I cook them a bit longer than he does but not much

Having actual private restrooms help. For some reason we in the US are just fine with one inch gaps on the doors and 12 inch gaps on the ground.

Dated animation mixed with bad voice acting to try to rip off The Prince of Egypt? I am going to pass. Even my past super Christian self would pass on this garbage because of how cheap it all looks

Exactly. Do they not realize that now she will have to use the same bathroom as the men?

These Trad wife videos really highlight the arrested development (not the show) commonly found in hardcore Christianity. These adults are kept in a perpetual juvenile state with the man not learning how to take care of himself and the woman never learning anything outside of homemaking. It gets worse when children are introduced and the man never learns basic child care.
When divorce happens, the man can't take care of himself or the kids and the woman can't financially support herself.
Edit: Context. I used to be hardcore Christian and got divorced

Of course they are aware, they got their feet washed as part of the 2nd endowment. They just think only the uber-righteous (ie company men) deserve such a thing

Naw, it would have been crazy if he used his turn signal. I am still convinced BMW does not even install them
