Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

Anyone who grew up Mormon should have already known the largely evangelical Christian nationalists would like to destroy Mormons in the top ten wish list of people to harm if they ever get power. this isn't confusing at all. it's willfully ignoring reality.
Yeah, I grew up catholic and remain shocked most Catholics don't seem to get that they're in that same boat
It's shocking how little they understand that Evangelicals genuinely think Catholics are closer to Satan than Satan is.
It’s like Mormons don’t even know their own history.
Which is wild, considering they're ideologically aligned. I guess the Mormons are one step too culty.
Ideologically aligned plays second fiddle to culturally homogeneous in fascism. If they're too different, they're an outgroup. How much of an outgroup only matters early on, but they're still a target, ultimately.
Here's an idea, let's not have a list of "recognized" religions at all.
And while we are at it, Mormons and Christians and all of the rest should pay taxes, they're disgusting vampires.
There is a valid purpose. Sikhs have special requirements for grooming. Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Buddhists, and Hindus have dietary requirements. Quakers are pacifists. In general having a list of religions you're prepared to accommodate is valuable for a military

If we don't have a list of legally recognized religions, we won't be able to rationalize pogroms against the illegal ones.
Don't you want to purge the county of Muslims? Don't you want to send all the Jews to Israel? Don't you want all those Communist Atheists rounded up? I hear a bunch of them work for the CCP.
Don't you want to send all the Jews to Israel?
Nah, I want Israel to not exist
Well, that's just antisemitism.
Mods! MODS! If this was Reddit, you'd be so banned right now.

No, lets have that list, and tax them appropriately.
You don't need a separate list if everyone is getting taxed the same.

It doesn't "ban them from a list", they're just not on the list under "Christian".
Ask any Mormon if they're just a flavor of Christian, and they'll be quick to tell you why they're better
They don't have a problem with drawing a line, they just don't like it when they're on the minority side of the line which is what this is about.
They'll call far right Christians "them" all day, but don't like being called "them" by anyone.
Thanks for pointing out that there's no ban on religions in the military. I've heard this blown way out of proportion a few times.

Yes, the main thing here is they're feeling a sense of Othering that they all grew up being told was a thing that happened to Mormons, but they didn't really believe it because they were loyal republicans and the majority of them live and die in the bubble of Utah and the surrounding areas, so they're a force to be reckoned with even when not the majority. Those of us who grew up Mormon (i got better!) in the Bible Belt knew that the evangelicals would never accept Mormons as fellow Christians. More understanding groups wouldn't make a thing of it, even if they have the same theological distinctions, but the Bible thumpers were always going to insist on semantic cleansing once they had their hands on the levers of power, and if the Mormons don't accept that they're only as good as Jews and Muslims, they'll get slapped down even harder by a truly Christian Nationalist regime.

Zero sympathy MAGA fucknut. The Christian Nationalists and Project 2025, that you voted for and support, are a reminder from getting chased out of Illinois, Missouri and almost losing in Utah. Go fly a kite racist loser!
"Religious denominations"
Uh huh. We totally believe you don't mean Christian denominations, and if you were still in the leopards' in-group you'd be using this same language to defend our muslims, jews, atheists, and even wiccans in uniform.
Fuck this guy yesterday and fuck him today too.
I find it hard to believe he actually cares much. These types all value their personal power and wealth over everything else, including religion
He'll shut up and sit down like a good little Mormon when it comes down to it
"Your Jesus just isn't good enough to be included with all of our other Jesuses". smh /s
Awww, but I’m one of the GOOD ~~minorities~~ fascists!
Leopard doesn’t care. Om nom nom.
everyone with a lick of hindsight knew that eventually being a straight christian wouldnt be enough if youre black, or a white christian not enough if you're gay, or even a straight white christian man if youre not the right type of white or flavor of christian
Eventually these groups cannibalize their own.

Is this cringemaxxing?
Hey, senator dumb fuck, maybe dont exclude/include people based on religion.
Tear down that wall....Mormon education at work in that false equivalency
This guy has no decency, being a pedo protector. I dont believe he thinks Kegsbreath ever had some.

I like working against the wellbeing of people so long as those people aren't me. For real though Mormonism is just diet scientology.
Humans are so silly. Especially in light of how serious religious simpletons are. just the silliest little apes we are. buddy, you're just a pile of poop and water. calm down.

not MY abortion not MY job not MY religion
not ME!
"But I thought it would be the eastern religions that get targeted."
But I didn't think the leopards would eat MY face...
Mormon Senator is a term that just begging for bad news all day long
Look, fuck Trump and Pete from the bottom of my heart; but Mormonism quite literally does not fit within Christian theology because they deny the divinity of Jesus.
This doesn’t need to be a religious claim on my end for it to be accurate. Christians in the US only started thinking of Mormons as part of their club because they couldn’t stomach voting for Obama as the Christian candidate over Mormon Romney.
Mormonism quite literally does not fit within Christian theology
I have it on good authority that it is the only religion that TRULY fits within the Christian theology, and it's all you other guys who are wrong.
You guys should get really mad at each other and start thousands of years of war, pain, and suffering over it. It's the Christian thing to do.
