    It’s a bit worse than just mean. Mormon theology quietly embraces narcissistic behavior and violence.

    In Mormonism having one cigarette or a cup of coffee = going to hell.

    They also have a toxic belief of avoiding the “appearance of evil”. Aka it also a major sin if you let people think you are okay with taking part in the activity.

    For children under 8 years old, if the parents fail to correct their kids, the sins they do become the parents responsibility.

    Beating your child is perfectly acceptable and an approved method of correction in Mormonism.

      i remember “spare the rod” sunday at the mormon church where every speaker gave a talk on why it’s okay to beat your kids. i never thought too much about it until now.
