I don't think people like this understand that there's no real incentive to proselytizing atheism. Start a family with your weird hands and your huge boobed wife, believe whatever you want. I honestly don't give a shit
i have weird hands, where's my

mormon temple?Its more of a gothic cathedral really. Most of the mormon temples I've seen look like a midwest city capitol building
the best one is in provo
I think the San Diego one is pretty nice
Disney ass looking building
The Tempe one is just a chapel, not a temple
Ironic
Worlds biggest 5g antenna
I believe it's being replaced soon if it hasn't already. By something much more bland of course
:angry-hex:
I think it's the Mormons' flagship temple in SLC that's pictured.
Ahh. I've never seen it. Is it at least mounted on the back of a giant robot?
on a trip to check out some National Parks, we stopped in SLC. i've been to the Temple Square and wandered around the Momo temple. the vibes are off the charts. i went across the street to buy some stamps from a "Bookstore" and the closest thing i've experienced to it is like Disney World type shit (with how manicured and curated everything is), except the workers BELIEVE Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck is going to walk around the corner at any second and give them all eternal life + omnipotence so long as they act nice and keep faith for the mouse in their hearts.
if anyone ever gets the chance to go inside the Momo Tabernacle, that is the supreme "this is why you need to shut down cults early on" experience. of course, i've never been inside the temple or the inner sanctum obviously. i'm sure that's jacked, but the Tabernacle is like this giant acoustically perfect room where the massive choir does it's thing around this gigantic pipe organ. it literally feels like the whole thing is going to launch into space with you inside it and you'll have to listen to insane choral music delivered by fake plastic smiling faces for eternity as this giant ellipse hurtles into an infinite darkness.
a uniquely american experience not to be missed.

Sure there is, it's a way of combating theocratic law
Maybe. Not a particularly effective one. People don't embrace religious dogma because they think its logically correct, particularly in heavily theocratic societies. They follow it because there are material reasons for them to do so and unless you can change that any edgy, "Wheres your god now!?" shit isn't going to accomplish much
I said advocating for Atheism, not being an edgy nuatheist prick, which is obviously worse than useless. Talking can't change everything, but it's not literally nothing either.
