Um, ok. Christians are the cause of all of society's ills huh? Dgaf about anything huh? So is the solution to get rid of all the Christians? Maybe the civilised people can round them up into camps of some kind, teach them to respect society the way every non-christian does. Maybe even like a re-education camp. That'll fix it.

I'll just call full ********. You can rail against it all you want, I'll still call ********. The least effective way to go about solving anything in any society is by laying all the blame at the feet of a single group. Ever heard of segregation and Jim Crow? Divisiveness is never the answer. You need to move into the 21st century.

Not to mention as a group that 240 million has a massive collection of differing opinions. Trying to pin 240 million people to any single position is laughable.

All this money and power is pulled in so many different directions. Because their opinions and policies are often widely different.

But yes, % they tend to be judge mental.

I never understood why being judgemental is bad, or where the notion that it is came from in the first place.

Eh, it has its time and place. Sometimes being judgemental is the right call. Just none of us like it when we are the ones being judged.

You enter judgments after you have a firm opinion on how things should be. Sometimes those firm opinions are unfair to other people.

And sometimes people are offended by sound judgements.

It works best when you hold yourself to the same standard that you hold others to. If you have differing standards, it can be REALLY bad.

Nobody likes a hypocrite, if that's what you're saying. Everybody judges, all the time. It's part of being alive. Learning to conform is a big part of childhood development, and not being able to conform can cause psychological problems like gender dysphoria. You conform to norms, or judgement of your actions by your peers. It's what we do so I don't get the don't judge me, you're judgemental cliches, especially when non-teenagers use the term as some platitude. Yeah, I don't know what you've been through and should be thoughtful. Still gonna judge.

Yeah, volunteers. Here's what Jacob 2 says:

"17 Think of your brethren like unto yourselves, and be familiar with all and free with your substance, that they may be rich like unto you."

The Book of Mormon is a _covenant_, yes? Section 84 of the Doctrine and Covenants insists that it is. So Jacob's word is part of that covenant, and basic needs like housing, clothing, and food should be the minimum for the poorest of the poor. But the real kicker in this verse is that the rich should give until the poor are rich LIKE THEM.

Homeless people cannot even access any of the food those LDS volunteers canned, and none of the funds LDS volunteers donated go to housing or drug therapy for homeless people. All of that is reserved for people that are already housed in local congregations. The homeless are referred to local homeless services for their basic needs (run by non-LDS heretics), and they are not allowed to go to church with families! They have a branch set aside in a commercial property downtown (essentially a garage) called the Rio Grande Branch on 440 South 400 West where they are cordoned off, away from all the clean people.

And who feeds the homeless in Salt Lake City? The Catholics(!!!), who provide two free meals a day at the downtown Weigan Center. Which should be embarrassing in the extreme to people who read about Jesus in the Book of Mormon and the Bible, and insist that they are the "covenant people".

To what are they covenanted to? The Church's investment portfolio was leaked to Mormon Wikileaks, and is $32 billion. Their real estate holdings are more than that. They could put all of the homeless services and shelters downtown out of business for 1000 years if they chose to, but The Road Home (the largest shelter) begs for donations from the public every single year to remain in operation.
 
To all of you bad asses who love passing judgment, I gotta tell you there is no greater joy than judging the local religious culture using their own religious texts.

Here is a snippet from the Book of Mormon that will delight you:

"16 And also, ye yourselves will succor those that stand in need of your succor; ye will administer of your substance unto him that standeth in need; and ye will not suffer that the beggar putteth up his petition to you in vain, and turn him out to perish.

17 Perhaps thou shalt say: The man has brought upon himself his misery; therefore I will stay my hand, and will not give unto him of my food, nor impart unto him of my substance that he may not suffer, for his punishments are just—

18 But I say unto you, O man, whosoever doeth this the same hath great cause to repent; and except he repenteth of that which he hath done he perisheth forever, and hath no interest in the kingdom of God."
