"what do eggs have to do with Jesus?"
Eggs are actually a really common piece of Christian symbolism for the Trinity. It's a shell, a white, and a yolk, but it's all one egg. Just like how God is made of the Father Son and Holy Spirit.
You know that image that's like, a youth pastor explaining the Trinity with a fidget spinner? It's like that. That was the metaphor every medieval monk used to explain the basics.
Mormonism makes me NOT want to kill myself. It gives you me a purpose in life, even a purpose within my religion. It’s a very interactive church.

THANK YOU! Your statement actually aligns with current averages. Religion has a protective factor against youth suicidal ideation, even in LGBTQ+ youth. Here's a fun little graph:
In this survey, Latter-Day Saints were shown to have a rate of suicidal ideation of about half compared to their non-religious peers.
I made a very angry post about this in September, and you can check it out here if you'd like. It talks about mostly the same information. I love my data and information, especially when it implies the opposite of what anti-Mormons claim :)
you want to know why salt lake city was founded??? its bcs everywhere else the early saints tried to settle they were violently driven out of. the state of missouri had a fucking death warrant on them and other states were only marginally better. they were assaulted, tarred and feathered, their houses burned down. there's a reason utah exists and it's because ever other fucking state wanted my ancestors DEAD for their religion
"when tumblr crumbles let's all move to a google doc" queerstake does this twice a year for general conference. mormons ahead of the game for doomsday preparation as usual
It is not too late to come back. It is never too late to come back. It'll be hard but we will be here for you. Lovely message from that last speaker.
people in fanfiction are so good at identifying v specific smells. I literally struggle to identify vanilla when I’m sniffing a candle labelled “VANILLA” how are these kids getting woodsmoke, rain, mint, and a whiff of byronic despair from a fuckin tshirt
Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face.
