you can imagine why i left
its the same thing as the LDS church the LDS church is just a fancy name
so wait they drink soda but don’t drink tea, coffee, or alcohol or it’s soda and all that other stuff that they don’t drink?
yeah
there’s a popular soda-ish drink called “root beer” in utah
idk if it exists anywhere else
the whole scripture thing it comes from literlaly just says “hot drinks”
very specific, i know
it later got specified by some leader guy and everyone just goes with it
this is a joke right
nope
ive had it like once but this is beacuse i hate carbonation
i would be shocked if root beer wasn’t a nationwide thing
oh yeah I legit don’t know if its nationwide lol
its like one of those things that FEELS like it should just be utah
like “fry sauce”
i think fry sauce exists elsewhere as “mayochup”
fry sauce is a midwest thing. it was also in Idaho I remember. I was super fucking confused too because some locals were like “you gotta try fry sauce” and then found it was just ketchup and mayo.
my parents are always like
“OH YOU CAN BE GAY/TRANS AND MORMON AT THE SAME TIME”
and I’m just like (internally)
“i believe that anyone who cannot accept me cannot truly love me. needless to say the church does not accept me for who i am (see: the family proclamation). also it literally advocates for all of these wildly transphobic things; the people who stay in the church anyways just choose to ignore it because of blind faith (well, usually). like how i ignored all of the other signs it was fake!”
tl;dr fuck no i aint staying in the church
I mean I’ve actually heard of root beer before.
stg my dad always advocates for seeing both sides of an issue EXCEPT if it’s the church because “the prophet told me that i should not listen to those who seek to destroy the church” or whatever
incase you could not tell I am exceedingly angry about this
Adam Savage once called religion a mind virus that suppresses critical thinking, and I think about that quote a lot.
ok but why does that remind me of the WOKE MIND VIRUS thing
right they don’t do caffeine
