List of Reasons Why Mormonism Will Fail You

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

1. 90% of Mormonism's ideas are made up other than what it mixes with things taken from history and religious heretics.
2. Not one single Mormon priest can live a legitimate Mormon way in which their High Priesthood is related exclusively to God. It is impossible that their claims to true priesthood when God works with other priesthoods without their priesthood authority. If God abundantly blessed the Mormon priesthood (which isn’t happening) it still means God is blessing other priesthoods though they drink alcohol and never upheld polygamy. Time will prove Mormon priests just as blessed of God as any other preachers.
3. God doesn’t scare people into submission which is more like a symbol of Satan involvement. Does God care about piercing and tattoos? I mean, has anyone ever accused you of being in league with Satan for having a self-inflicted scar? If your body is a temple then you should be able to decorate it how you like. God isn’t about to inhabit it permanently. Mormonism is way too intrusive into your personal life.
4. How many children of the billions of children who have lived on the earth have died as infants traumatizing their parents? Mormonism teaches that these parents will be able to raise these children in the afterlife. I think we would have heard about this earlier in Christianity if someone was going to be doing it. It is a cruel hope if it isn’t true which it isn’t. Just another hang up to get hung up upon if you should lose a child.
5. If you hate thinking about how Mormons aren’t considered Christians, then you might as well give away your copy of The Doctrine and Covenants, The Pearl of Great Price, The Book of Mormon, and every other fantastic Christian book other than the Bible that was ever written. --- Note: The Book of Mormon isn’t opposed to Biblical Christianity only it is extremely fictional so that’s all there is to complain about.
6. Mormonism is not racist; look at all the different backgrounds of lay Mormons. The problem is racism is a part of Mormon history and like polygamy has precedential theological application in their scripture. A majority of Christians never had an injunction against other races in their histories let alone their scripture. There have been a lot of racism in Christianity but never institutionalized to the degree of Mormonism. A Crow law for entrance into heaven is something that doesn’t set right for many people. If you enjoy the duality this poses to your psyche then Mormonism may not fail you.
7. One of the more basic reasons Mormonism will fail you: Mormons don't run around being gay, openly attracting emotional attention to themselves, or starting a soup kitchen for the poverty inclined. If you like to be openly extravagant and emotional Mormonism will be a let down.
8. Mormonism doesn't practice the black arts and is against them. It might not be a good starting place for occult involvement. The history is fascinating but Masons are just as good (and less intrusive) group to start. Mormonism will fail you if you think their secrets are worth learning in your magical life’s progression.
9. Mormonism does not hate anyone. They are on their way to being one of the most insipid religions in all God’s creations. If you are against one group then Mormonism will fail you in allowing you to be as adamantly against what it is you hate as you would like to be. If you hate the other Christian religions Mormonism may or may not fail you. It depends on how ecumenical Mormonism becomes in the future.
10.  How many people have actually started breaking the rules at their church or because of the mental constrictions of their church? It is the natural place to start a rebellion. The problem with Mormonism is it will fail you if you try and not fail Mormonism. It is inevitable and the Mormons don’t have a good “Hail to Mary” to handle it.
11. Mormonism has slammed many religions though it is not even an issue to be argued about in their books. If you respect other religions expect to hear other religions belittled in church. Mormonism will fail you in understanding why other religions are so bad. Given the fact that one of their most sacred rituals had a preacher from another religion in it whom was in league with Satan might be a clue as to how religious tolerance will fail you as a Mormon.
12. Mormonism shows a lot of good morals like friendship, bravery, loyalty, admiration, respect, honesty, determination. A good Mormon just doesn't go around breaking rules: it is their perilous situations that called for drastic measures that will let you down in this regard. When you are threatened with things that seam relative like being undercharged at the grocery store Mormonism will make you feel guilty for not going back and righting the situation. It is their obsession with perfection in good things that will be the death of you.
13. No one out there can relate to many Mormons because they are not normal people with normal emotions. Mormonism will fail you in forcing you to think that normal is perfection, fable-ridden scriptural life, which requires strange and arcane rituals to achieve this perfection.
14. The people out there who hate Mormons can't give you good reasons why they hate Mormons and there really is no reason to hate Mormons. The only thing to remember is that eventually most things fail you in life and Mormonism is no exception to this rule. The problem is Mormonism will tell you that it IS the exception to this rule. That is the biggest failure of all in a religion. When a religion doesn’t apologize for its past but hides it and doesn’t admit mistakes when they are made it leads people to feel failure because people fail. It is in the acceptance of failure and trying to help the failures that should concern Mormonism but it doesn’t.
15. Since Mormonism was created have there been reports of the mischief surrounding religious hatred related to Mormonism? Yes but that was in the past. Mormonism will constantly bring up their persecution to justify their actions. If you like feeling persecuted then Mormonism is for you, else it will fail you.
16. The Mormon prophet is an image of a person with good morals that people can look up to. If you want this popular man to be your guiding light then Mormonism will not fail you too bad but if he isn’t the paragon of what it is to be a person in this world then don’t bother to even speak to the Mormon missionaries.
