Oh yes, a comment on Jezebel is going to change the Mormon church - when it's an affirmed member that is only passively requesting a look into changing the behavior. I'm sure that'll get a lot of traction.

Except that it was thrown out here for judgement - and no other reason - I would agree with you.

Firstly, intelligent adult humans should never utter the phrase "it's not fair"...and secondly - this is the ship she signed up for, and it doesn't seem like it was anything other than all or nothing. This smacks of someone who so very much wants the accolades of following a religion, but is questioning the very…

No, what they would rather do is make their religious dogma fit their circumstance.

Well thanks for that theology lesson, but yes...that doesn't affect the tone of the OP...if you aren't in, you're out...unless you're willing to affect change within, and it seems like this person wants to be ethnically Mormon without being practically Morman - that's a cop out.

In for a penny, in for a pound - you don't get to cherry-pick the fun stuff that you like in a religion and eschew the rest of it under the "questioning" umbrella. Or actually, you totally can, but you don't get to say that you're a member of that faith if you don't buy the rhetoric.

Changing an institution for the better is ALWAYS good - how does this particular thing do that?

Wow, that's a long way to go - that's a you problem - nothing to do with this topic.

From an article in Cosmo - which OBVS has zero agenda or reason to be all click-baity and stuff?

Well, considering that Jezebel postings wouldn't account for pressure from any side - so?? She's questioning - let's all wait with baited breath her response after the intense Cosmo-focused introspection.

She's committed to remaining a member of a society whose ideology she questions...that alone makes me know she's not questioning her faith.

Totally get it - there's an awful lot of horseshit you have have to swallow to make the rest of the stuff palatable. That's what this statement does. And that's ok - to each their own, you know? It's not my bitch to make someone feel differently abou that sort of thing - but at the same time, don't take on the…

So, you are saying that because you follow a faith you swallow the shit that they sell? She's arguing against a practice that encompasses things she doesn't agree with- in the real world that means you disagree with the practice.

Ok, so we're applauding her, but why isn't anyone asking her to question the faith that she is blindly following even though it's that very faith that she's running up against?

I think you should turn a critical eye to one or the other - sister, folks weren't undergoing a lot of voluntary surgical procedures for vanity in the late 1800s.

Do you really believe this? At a time when surgical procedures were performed under ether that may or may not actually work for the duration of the surgery? I think maybe you should look into Victorian-era surgery - there wasn't a great deal of voluntary procedures going on.

Marshmallows are durable? As in, they don't disintegrate quite so quickly as other processed food items? Because marshmallows are the opposite of durable if you expect a good end-result at some point.

Do you really think they just mean the offensive GIFs that were sexual in nature? I'm sure this encompasses the beheadings, the shit play, and every obviously trolling image that was uploaded...don't be silly.

You're a victim's advocate - so why in the world would you have an issue with this post? I didn't treat anyone like anything - please read back and make some sense, k?

WHAT? Did you even read back to anything I said? Wow - please couch your reponse until you have a single fuck of an idea what you're responding against.
