    Mormons also believe horses existed in North America prior to the Spanish bringing them over. All because a dude who wanted to marry his adopted daughter made some shit up about some golden plates.

      The whole Mormon religion is as baseless and nonsensical as a Dr. Seuss story, only more silly. And it’s really just a big business, it rakes in money from idiots dumb enough to give up 10% of their income to a cult. I keep telling them, I’m willing to do it for less - all I ask if 5% of your income and you can TA DA suddenly have eternal salvation, and more underage kids to fuck than a weekend with Jeff Dahmer. (!)

        You have good energy. Consider adding every other religion to your Dr. Seuss comparison. Religion has poisoned geopolitics for far too long.

          I agree totally. I do consider all religion to be poison, or as Marx (I think) said, the opioid of the masses. But really, it’s no more or less terrible than any big business that strips people of their personal freedom and demands fealty and money in return.

      Well, there were North American “horses,” they just all died out around 11,400 years ago, so well after the aboriginals got here, but a bit before the Spanish.
