Does Mitt Romney secretly drink tequila? (No.) But his Mexican cousins do, in between getting kidnapped by the cartels and then "accidentally" shooting them, also too. In this installment of Vice's tour through the Mexican Mormon/cartel death match, the Vice hipsters might get killed! (But they do not get killed.)
That's some pretty advanced Mormon meta-apologia. Most of the Mormons I know still regard Joe as unassailable. The inconvenience of the Book of Abraham is dismissed as a slight spacetime error -- i.e., there actually is a Book of Abraham somewhere, and Joe was just translating it because of a metaphysical tuning-in problem
I occasionally make fun of Mormon beliefs, because it's so easy. But really, the only difference between their myths and those of the "mainstream" religions is elapsed time (also, the Hindus and Buddhists pretty much regard their myths as myths, rather than literal history).
As I grow older, I become more atheistic. But I also have come to realize that religious faith can be a blessing to those who have troubles in life. My view now is: (1) If it helps you to be a better person, believe in whatever you want to. (2) You are free to try to persuade others to share your beliefs, but you may not even think about compelling them to do so.
oh i know. as usual 10 weeks late and many many MANY dollars short. i was merely wondering who thinks this will help / is a good idea / works as a viable distraction for us people.
They have to kidnap them over there so we don't have to kidnap them over here.
Wait...
The LDS rules were a reaction to him getting himself lynched?
What??? That's the whole point of karaoke.
Yeah. There's a tiny condom in the bottle.
We're all looking forward to Weedlord Bonerhitler, but don't rush it.
