Brigham Young said - "Interracial relationships should be punishable by death".

Just a little taster of the Mormon luurrrvvvee.

OP, why do you as an atheist continue to act as though you know anything about any religion?

While the mormons IMO are messed up in many aspects based on their beliefs, bigotry is not one of them.

Because I do my research dick, the above quote by Brigham Young is 100% accurate and verifiable.

To see more of Brigham Youngs racism and a more general overview of a religion that didn't let black African men be in their priesthood for 129 years check this out.....

But please remember this is just Wikipedia so it is all just a tissue of lies and half truths unlike Fox news which is fair and balanced.

sure the quote is documented, but it is not part of the scriptures, and please show me of any circumstance where death was dealt out in regard to your charge?

and then show me where it applied to the female, since you have already proven with wiki that it could not have been a black priest of the mormon faith.

come on son you're doing great with your research, now finish it.

It's here again Holy week, I think more important than Christmas.

I think not, what the fuck does jesus have to do with easter other than the christians stole the holiday from the pagans? Please tell me what makes that so holy, Maggot?

I agree.

I'll let someone else tell Sally what Jesus has to do with Easter.

I guess the crucifixion and resurrection are not worth celebrating? Easter isn't about candy.

You fucking idiots, Easter was originally a pagan holiday, hence the rabbit and eggs representing fertility. It had nothing to do with Jesus until the christians tried to convert the pagans by allowing them to keep their holiday rituals as long as it was done in the name of Christ. So please Mirah, why don't you tell me what Jesus has to do with Easter?

Tag.

You are both right. Neither Christmas nor Easter were celebrated on the exact day of Jesus birth or crucifixion. Absolutely true. It is equally true that the reason Easter is celebrated happens at easter is precise to fit in with Pagan festivities and beliefs.

But does that mean because the dates are incorrect, Christians should not celebrate these things each year or that it has to be on the correct date or else? Should it mean they are forbidden from giving out eggs?

I think you can see that this is a pretty silly line of reasoning. There is room for Christians to be celebrating Christian occasions on the incorrect date whilst still having valid reasons to celebrate it on these designated days.

As a personal aside i think celebrating a crucifixion is abhorrent as are the beliefs that original sin should be cast upon someone's son and that this makes everyone yet to be born both complicit in his "sacrifice" and what sin he was to wash away for it.

But i do not begrudge Christians celebrating or commiserating it or using it to give them resolve to be more moral.

I also think it really interesting and clever what and how they compromised on such beliefs to allow them to grow and survive

Easter is more important for the Christian religion because his resurrection is the basis of the Christian religion. That is what separates it from all the others. Today Christmas seams bigger to many people and it probably is on the advertisement side of things but not so on the Christian spiritual side.

How to tell if your chocolate is real?  if it "snaps" when you break it and it has a shiny surface. Many Easter bunnies have the main ingredient "sugar"  as the first thing on the ingredient list followed by a ton of crap. Also Many Easter bunnies are labled as Chocolaty bunnies not chocolate.

See what a hammer a few nails can fix?

He may have been hung upside down, they did that quite a bit. But that's not the point.

Who gives a fat fuck.

A scene that sticks in my mind still, mans inhumanity towards man.
