There is a horrendous series of advertisements for the moron mormon church which centres around the ‘appeal to authority’ fallacy. The ads each feature one person (that’s one person for each ad, in case I’m confusin’ ya) and this person goes on and on about how they are a wonderful person. At the end of the ad, the featured person finishes by affirming ‘I’m a mormon.” Of course, nothing in the first part of the ad has much to do with actual mormonism. That would defeat the purpose. The ads are supposed to gloss over all the ugly bits (and there are mountains of ugly bits), build up a bunch of warm fuzzies, then sneakily latch the happy feelings onto their religion. It isn’t a new tactic. Stealing credit from others is a solid ingredient for the foundation of any strong religion.
Enter the latest episode of ‘Way of the Mister’. This series is an offshoot of the wonderfully fantastic web show ‘Mr.Deity”. If you haven’t checked it out yet, I strongly recommend you remedy the situation as soon as possible (YouTube channel, Website).
This video is all about those mountains of ugly bits I mentioned earlier and it brilliantly highlights everything the church of LSD LDS doesn’t want you to know.
All former believers, whatever religion you were freed from, are more than welcome to put their own “I no longer believe” lines in the comments.

Mormons statistically live healthier and longer lives, and are more educated than the general public. How crazy is that! ;-)
