40. It's not childish to point out the obvious

Fri Jun 4, 2021, 07:42 PM

Jun 2021

The Mormon Church (the Governor and the majority of Utah are members) held two world wide fasts to stem COVID, March 26, 2020 and April 10. We all know how well that worked out.

Better yet I was told to pray and fast that I would become straight by the church for YEARS. I am still gay.

The Mormon cult is abusive and miss-uses prayer to control it's members. Your prayer didn't work? You must be looking at porn. (Yes the leaders say this among other gaslighting practices).

I have no problem with people praying. I do have a problem with people telling me I must respect it.
