Right. Batshit crazy is fine to ridicule...unless it's a religion.

Seriously, STFU.

I learned some things I never knew.

Why did they never teach how kind slave owners were or how globalism is a sign of the rapture where I went to school!

Right.

And yet, if I criticize Mormons, I'm a liar and supposedly use alts.

Weak-ass hypocrite.

I would not use motherjones or fox news to try and make a point.

I learned in school that not all slave owners were bad and some were even kind. Or at least as kind as a slave owner can be. I thought everyone learned that because it's, you know true and all.

You are an intolerant bigot who critizes the mormon faith while not applying those same standards to other religions.

I'm not trying to make a point.

The article made me laugh.

Yeah.

Also, the people who eventually died at the WTC had a bad morning, but the ones who survived the initial impact got a hell of a view of the city for a bit.

And you're a fucking liar. I've trashed Christians, Catholics, and other faiths plenty on here.

A lot of the things in that article are true.

Please list them

*shrug*

I have only ever seen you trash Mormons, and only since Mitt became the nominee.

 

[LongDrySpell]

Well, the Trail of Tears did bring lots of Cherokee to meet Jesus. Ya know, just a few years earlier than they might have otherwise.

I finally read the whole thing. It basically comes from two books. Some of the things they cite are true. Most are not or they are twisted around but things like Roe v Wade, slave owners, globalization and the rapture, the view of the Klan at the time are basically true.
I'd actually like to see the whole text on the one about the Klan. It has the feel of being out of context. I've read similar stuff in text books but it was surrounded by the more conventional view of them.

I'm related to Mormons. I know them well. I know their religion well. Anyone who thinks of the Mormon faith as benign or harmless doesn't know anything about Mormons.

If you wanted further explanation, you could ask two of my relatives who knew the inner workings of that religion...except they both committed suicide. That's one of the easier ways to divorce oneself from the Church.

Numbers four through seven, plus number ten are basically true. The article is a witch hunt. There are just as many absurd things in the current textbooks of public schools all over the country.

4. Africa needs religion

5. Slave masters were nice guys

6. The KKK was A-OK

7. The Great Depression wasn't as bad as the liberals made it sound

10. Mark Twain and Emily Dickinson were a couple of hacks

And folks, that last one came from Bob Jones University, the home of batshit crazy.

#4 is inaccurate, 5 and 6 are disingenuous at best and as for number 7, you think the grapes of wrath is propaganda?

 

[RoryN]

and as for number 7, you think the grapes of wrath is propaganda?

Did you just try to defend a true event with a fictional work?

That's really the best retort you had to number 7?

Sweet Jesus...

The titles seem bad, but the actual contents of the quotes are pretty accurate. The Africa thing a little less so, but it's true that the communists shut down a number of missions, and that the missions teach reading and writing. Also, the KKK was always a racist organization, but they also had some positive goals in the beginning. It's an example of everything not being black and white.

It's a great novel, but it is propaganda. Steinbeck was a well-known communist, and the novel clearly supports Roosevelt's "alphabet agencies".

Which means nothing. That's how nearly every great man-made evil on the planet began: with good intentions.

Sweet Jesus...

Number 7 says the great depression was mostly propaganda and that the biggest piece of propaganda was the grapes of wrath.
