Fortune Cookie Prophet

Young Mormon Men are often told that a mission is the best two years of their life, but mine was certainly not, and in fact, it was hell. My mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was partially responsible for my leaving the Church and loosing my faith in God

In this episode I will be going through the first part of the book of Leviticus in the Bible to determine if the god of the Old Testament, based on his actions in the text, is a good god and a god worth worshipping if he were real. So far it isn't looking good for god and, as we learn in Leviticus, god is prideful, vengeful, sexist and loves his people to suffer by burning up all of their best stuff because he loves the way it smells.

In this episode I go over a talk by President Brigham Young in which he talks about the duty of the saints and how they should not have any fun until they have done everything they need to do, and at one point in the talk he mentioned about how men would submit applications for a wife. WTF? Brigham young decided who got married to who?

In this episode I review what was once one of my favorite films, The Testaments of One Fold and One Shepard, which is basically just a Mormon propaganda film. In the Journal of Discourses, Brigham Young said a bunch of racist things about Native Americans and talked about how petty theft should be dealt with by murdering the thief.

In this episode I talk about my struggles with my marriage when I lost my faith and then I read a talk from Brigham young in which he claims only the wicked don’t believe in Joseph Smith.

In this edition of the series determining whether of not the God of the Bible could be considered a good god we learn that god hates it when you pull out, but he is seemingly ok with rape and murder and visiting prostitutes so long as it is his chosen men doing it

In this episode Parley P. Pratt talks about how much he loathes apostates and even laid out some veiled threats against them. It is because of talks like this that LDS parents kick their children out of the house when they do anything against the Church.
