Lately the Algorithm God has been sending me videos of carnivores in the wild bringing down their prey. Often the prey is the newborn, or weakest member of the herd. Try watching some of these "death in nature" scenes- for example: a newly born fawn brought down by a pack of wolves. How can the Mormon God be called merciful when he maintains a system characterized by the strong so frequently preying on and inflicting suffering on the weak.
It's seems to me, the Mormon attempt to explain reality is really lame.

God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

If you look at it from a religiously conservative enough point of view you will see that those who believe themselves to be favored by God to take whatever they want. Nature gives many awe-inspiring examples of how God prioritizes some lives over others. Our job is to use the words of leaders and scripture to help us understand how to apply those gospel principles in our own lives, and in those of the people we make covenants to and vote for.deacon blues wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2024 9:42 am Lately the Algorithm God has been sending me videos of carnivores in the wild bringing down their prey.

But the church *IS* the predator taking out the weak and the helpless. So, join them and you can become a predator too. Just pay your tithing and do everything they say and you too can be strong and powerful. (well only if you are male and outgoing and just like your higher up and can flatter your higher up into promoting you)deacon blues wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2024 9:42 am Lately the Algorithm God has been sending me videos of carnivores in the wild bringing down their prey.
