| Mormons are racists? Once upon a time i thought i had mistakenly read something strange about the mormon doctrine, figured it was a slanted article i read and forgot all about it.
untill the mormons came to my door.
instead of telling them to get fucked i decided to invite them in, i really wanted to ask them about something. here is the question i asked and their reply.
what is this i read about black people being cursed until 1978? they were obviously discomforted by my question but they answered. they said to me that when cain killed able, his skin was turned black and he was cursed, all of his decendants were cursed in the eyes of god with black skin as well.
in 1978 some kind of high to do priest in the mormon world received a revelation stating black people were no longer cursed.
i then proceed to tell them that in my humble opinion, the mormon religion is a farce, i tell them that it sounds to me like a bunch of white churchgoing slave owners decided not to let "niggers" into their churches, thus made up the doctrine about the curse, come the tail end of the civil rights movement they were probably under a lot of pressure about their anti black rules so they imagined up a revelation making everything ok again in the eyes of god for black people.
they tell me if our church buckles under pressure why are there no homosexual priests either, or women priests for that matter?
in turn i ask them why, if the curse is lifted, are they still black? they had no answer so i showed them the door.
so i bring this to you and i wonder if the mormon religion is merely a brainwashing cult, much more so than other forms of organized religions (generally speaking) and next time the missionaries come to my door what is a good argument i can use to illustrate my point of views? |
