Egad! A Revolution in the Mormon Church. Can Starbucks and Thong Underwear be Far Behind?

[Skwim]

SALT LAKE CITY — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced new policies Wednesday for church employees.

For the first time, female church employees are now allowed to wear “professional pantsuits and dress slacks” and men may remove their suit jackets or sport coats in hot weather.

The church also announced they are now offering one week of paid parental leave for full-time, benefited employees. Mothers will receive this benefit in addition to the six weeks of paid medical maternity leave they will receive.

How in the world is # 3 even possible?

Oh. #1.

I wonder if it's alright if a Mormon guy soaks inside a non-Mormon girl while she's as wild as a jackhammer set on high?

So for all the nagging the sister missionaries did about my sweet tea, they were wrong, because sweet tea is not a hot drink.

Crap like #9, #8, and #7 is why I wouldn't want to send a kid on a mission, though, if I had one (and were in the Church).

#3 is pure clickbait. It's describing a "loophole" bad Mormons try to use to convince themselves they're not fornicating. It's the same as Catholics who practice anal sex. I doubt it fools God.

EDIT: About the sweet tea, Southerners drink cold black tea with sugar mixed in. There's a good possibility that the Utahans didn't realize that it's a cold beverage. But either way, it's still a BS rule.

We have the clickbait crazy atheists list, too.

10. Pyramids. How did ancient, backwards people do this?

9. Ancient Egyptians had electricity. How cool is that when people who came after them had to use torches?

8. Advanced hieroglyphics. It's like they had a crystal ball into the future.

7. Photogenic space people being commemorated..

6. Skeletons that resemble no human at all.

5. All of this a coincidence? I think not.

4. One of their biggest religious innovators was Akhenaten. Even in ancient times, atheists were focused on religious people.

3. Written documentation.

2. Hieroglyphs on space ships.

1. It's okay to lie and keep stolen artifacts.

10. Pyramids. How did ancient, backwards people do this? Hard labor, and the lives of thousands of people.

9. Ancient Egyptians had electricity. Show us the incontrovertible evidence.

8. Advanced hieroglyphics. It's like they had a crystal ball into the future. Makes me wonder if you even know what hieroglyphics are.

7. Photogenic space people being commemorated.. I don't think they're particularly photogenic at all. In fact, they look quite ugly.

6. Skeletons that resemble no human at all. Jackal skeletons usually don't

5. All of this a coincidence? I think not. Hands please. Anyone surprised? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Thought not.

4. One of their biggest religious innovators was Akhenaten. How nice. I guess.

3. Written documentation. And it was about time!

2. Hieroglyphs on space ships. Finally! the clincher that . . . . that . . .that . . .er, what was the point here?

1. It's okay to lie and keep stolen artifacts. Finders keepers.




Edited to note this little gem from the linked web site under item 10.

"The ratio of the Great Pyramid’s circumference to its original height is equal to the value of pi"

Let's see.

pi = 3.14159

Circumference =3,023.6 feet (each of the 4 sides: 755.9 feet)

Original Height = 481 feet

Ratio of C to H = 6.286 : 1

(All figures from Wikipedia.)

I've never understood why the pyramids are regarded with wonder. They're just piles of big rocks. I don't care how big something is, if you have enough people/livestock pull on it, it will move.

What does this have to do with atheists, anyway?

What does this have to do with atheists, anyway?

Was wondering the exact same thing.

@james bond is one of those who think that atheists all believe/behave/live according to some established "doctrine" that we all secretly agree upon. Apparently he feels belief in aliens is something only an atheist could hold, and therefore ALL atheists must have this belief as part of our secret "doctrine." Congratulations @james bond, you're a genius.

That's actually pretty close to 2π.

There you go again, asking for some time of rationality or reason. For some people, these concepts have absolutely no meaning or value. It's like asking someone who was born blind to describe a rainbow.

Bwahahahahaha. Why don't you ask Skwim the same thing? He has a listverse list and ties it to all Mormons or LDS Christians. I just turned the tables on him. Some people just don't get it.

Dang man... most of those are examples of rules that ARE applied to all mormons... at least all the ones adhering to the mainline church body. There may be some outliers... maybe... but I doubt they are recognized by the legitimate LDS church anyway. Skwim's/the-article's generalization (minus the "soaking" thing and the "lying" bit) is justified... yours is delusional.

 

[Skwim]

I noticed the same thing.

It wouldn't make any difference. I would respond pretty much the same way:

"James bond is one of those who think that atheists all believe/behave/live according to some established "doctrine" that we all secretly agree upon. Apparently he feels belief in aliens is something only an atheist could hold, and therefore ALL atheists must have this belief as part of our secret "doctrine."

Now THIS is sad no matter how you cut it.

[A Vestigial Mote]

Ditto, and I had a fleeting thought that maybe whoever wrote up the original correlative had learned it via a "game of telephone" of sorts, and the original person making the observation may have stated 2π (number of radians that represent a full circle), but someone down the line liked the simplified "π" better - 'cause you know, who gives a crap about facts?

How many scientists have to agree on something to make it valid? Aren't there enough Mormon scientists to agree?
