  I bet they’re losing a lot of their kids from their religion because of what’s on there. That was my immediate thought.

    Yeah, this seems more to do with the content available on tiktok (like pro-gay messaging) rather than anything else. They want it banned so they can create a little fundie safe space. It’s the same reason they want to ban any books from libraries with even a hint of pro-lgbt content.

      I think it has more to do with how their religion is build.

  It’s possible for more than one thing to be bad, we don’t have to pick just one of the two.

    “worse” generally means more bad than another thing that is also bad.

      It also implies that one (the worst one) deserves more attention. In this case we should probably be paying attention to both.

  That’s not true at all. Are members of the Church of Jesus Christ misguided in how they treat their fellow members and their youth? Yes. But its fundamental teachings (not the toxic traditions of the members) is one of peace, love, and hope. This type of comment is rude, offensive, and if it were regarding another group this kind of comment would be downvoted. But because it’s against a religion it’s ok to shit on their beliefs? This sentiment only breeds toxicity, and if we really want to help others who are affected by the tocix behaviors of all groups, we need to start with ourselves and how we treat (and look at) those whos beliefs differ from our own.

    blah blah blah blahhhhhh is all i read.

    Nah mormonism isnt even a religion its an evil pedophilic cult and all who willingly follow it are dumb cunts who all can go fuck themsleves. They are not misguided you dumb fuck they are brainwashed into believing bullshit made up by a grave robbing con artist out of desperation to make money. An evil cult that restricts progress and keeps its congregation blind and dumb.

    Yah this comment is meant to be rude, offensive, and disrespectful to mormonism and mormons good job champ for figuring it out.

    your comment is so fucking dumb holy shit.

    This is total nonsense. Educate yourself, start here. …wikipedia.org/…/Mormon_teachings_on_skin_color

      The sources of that Wikipedia page are solely from websites that are biasedly antagonistic towards the church. Could you link to official church teachings regarding this topic?

      • killeronthecorner@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        No as I don’t recognize them as useful to the topic. But you are free to. Knock yourself out.

  There are probably more tiktok-users than mormons though, so I’d argue tiktok is the bigger problem
