First, let us just say that we’ve seen the ads for the LDS church on Huffington Post before today. Second, we’ve just come to accept that Mormons are insane and that there are people every day who are buying their insanity. Third, we’ve met some Mormons in our lives, and they seem like nice people. Really, they do.
Here’s the thing. It’s impossible to take a church seriously if it advertises. And that’s why we’re writing today about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Or Mormons — a word they don’t like much even though their provably bat-shit crazy text is called the Book of Mormon.
Re: religions advertising. See, Scientology advertises. And Scientology is insane. The only people who take Scientologists seriously are other Scientologists. And even Scientologists are becoming increasingly vocal in their dissent.
And somehow people don’t hold Mormons accountable today (meaning in the present) for the fact that a bunch of their members murdered 120 people in the Utah territory in 1857. (Because, you know, that was just a dark moment in their past, etc.) Or that Mormons still think that blacks are inferior to whites even if they let blacks become members of their priesthood in 1978.
And of course, no one in their church ever says, “Hey, the things Joseph Smith claimed happened are demonstrably false.”
Nah, forget that. The proof that they’re a bunch of wackadoos (h/t Olga) is 1) the advertisement above, and 2) the words in the advertisement! “I had questions no one could answer. 
“
Just so we’re clear here: There’s an ad promoting a bogus religion on Huffington Post. The ad makes the claim that you can find answers to your life’s purpose in the Mormon church. Then there’s a sad emoticon in the ad expressing said numbskull’s wishy-washy what’s-my-purpose lament, boo hoo. This is a legit church ad.
And people take this shit seriously? Really? People think that a guy besides Geppetto lived in a whale, so there’s really no limit to the depths of human stupidity, but this ad is just the height of ridiculousness. It may be — may be — as ridiculous as the notion that Xenu landed on the planet Earth before Earth actually existed. (You’ll notice that there’s no link to that Scientology reference on our site. Feel free to look up “Xenu” on Google, tho.)
Wait a minute. What are we saying? Of course people take this shit seriously.
We’re doomed.
