A comic I drew about leaving the Mormon church.
Can also apply to other things. Ex. constitutional originalism in the US
actually i think we shouldn't be chill with people who say they can't "support queer rights cause it's against their religion"
“Inseminary”
or “Lockpick to the Priesthood” or “Come Unto Me” or “Pearl Necklace of Great Price” or “Faith is Like a Little Seed”
Authentic stolen holy text, Near Clear silicone, gold pigment.
I went to the mormon church’s website, looked up their views on homosexuality, noted the scriptures they referenced, ripped them by hand out of the bible and book of mormon I stole from their chapel, and then mixed them into a silicone dildo of my own design like confetti. A dildo which will of course be used for homosexual purposes (with non-lubricated condoms and water based lube, for safety).
I’ve wanted to try dildo making for literally over a decade. I don’t have any fancy equipment like a 3D printer or a vacuum chamber, I made the sculpt by hand, and I fucked up a lot along the way, but all that being said I’m proud of what I was able to accomplish and I learned a lot. I put in more gold than I meant to, but honestly, it was meant to represent scripture’s gilded edges, and as it turned out, it looks really beautiful or quite filthy depending on the lighting, which feels entirely appropriate for scripture.
It was hard to read all of those verses. But as I tore them up I bathed them in the intention to take words that were meant to inflict queer pain wherever they go, and say “Actually, I pull those words out when I want some queer pleasure.” Build joy where they want you to have it the least.
Read about/donate to the Timpanogos tribe, for whom brigham young sent out an “extermination order”

Teaching children thinking bad thoughts about someone is the same thing as murdering that person is fucked up.
Thought crime doesn’t exist. No one has ever been harmed or killed by someone thinking negative thoughts about them.
You know what has harmed people though? Teaching them they are evil for things they can’t control. Especially those who have intrusive thoughts.
Here’s for everyone who has been taught their thoughts make them evil.
Intrusive thoughts are not your secret desires.
They are involuntary.
You don’t need to be ashamed of them.
They will pass.
You are not committing taboo.
No one can read your mind.
No one will ever know what’s in your thoughts unless you feel like telling them.
No one can judge you for what you are thinking, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.
Your thoughts are private
You are not a bad person.
I think we really don't talk that much about how fucked up it is that the Mormon church sends eighteen to twenty five year olds to do free marketing for them (that the person going has to pay to go on btw) for like two years. Like, those are kids, why are you doing that to them?
Friendly reminder to be nice to Mormon missionaries. Don't give them any contact information, and don't accept Book of Mormons from them, but if they show up at your door maybe offer them a glass of water and some food. They've received propaganda to be out there their entire lives, and they're stuck in the cult within a cult of Mormonisim while out there. Like the rules they have to follow? INSANE. They have to get up at six thirty EVERY DAY and that's a mild rule. Most of them are starving most of the day too.
Most of the Mormon missionaries just got out of high school or have been out for a year in the case of women who leave at 19 and now they're having to come to terms constantly with the reality their religion might all be bullshit, and being mean to them actually gives them conformation bias that their religion is the only true one. I think we can cut them just a little slack. Blame the church, not the kids on your doorstep regardless of how annoying they may be.
people act like ex-cult members are less likely to fall back into a cult but they’re wrong. i left mormonism and if i have to spend more than a week with my mormon parents bad thoughts start happening. it starts with “well maybe it wasn’t so bad but im still not going back” but that’s the trick because it really WAS that bad and you need to stay far away. even knowing it’s all bullshit you can get pulled back in because you spent years of your life doubting and pushing that doubt away. you are well-trained not to doubt. it takes a long time learn when to trust and when not to.
Just thinking about the mormon church's BILLIONS of dollars and how they could rehabilitate their entire image in an instant by providing food to snap recipients this holiday season, but instead they're gonna put up a bunch of "giving machines" and guilt already financially struggling people into giving their money for stuff the church could easily be doing times a thousand with their own hoarded wealth
Kind of obsessed with the progressive Mormons who say things like “oh no that’s not The Church, that’s The Culture. The Culture is the bad part.” Bestie where do you think culture comes from
