Less Glamorous Gatsby

When it comes to those who make claim they are going to "lock and load" against the government, I don't know who to fear more--them or the government. To disagree with the government is democracy, given not everyone ever gets their way 100% (but don't tell Republican Congress that...). But to disagree with the "lock and loaders" generally results in broken knee caps, if history serves me correctly.

Due to negative media, many members of the LDS faith have taken to the blogosphere to voice their concerns. Concerns that are a little bit ... Concerning. 

If you have yet to read any of these posts, it is likely you are not Facebook friends with anyone of the LDS faith. I encourage you to seek these blogs out and make your own opinions. Given that I grew up in Idaho and over half the people I know and associate with are LDS, I have gotten my fair share. 

It would appear many are upset with the negative media garnered from the movement to ordain women. Understandably so, given that this issue causes for much doubt and confusion to members and non-members alike. What concerns me is the response of these particular individuals in how to approach such issues. 

"Conceal, don't feel, don't let them see..." 
(I've seen that movie one time and yet somehow I know all the freaking lyrics.. It haunts me in my dreams and apparently even my personal blog posts aren't safe...)

What these bloggers are asking is that any issues members have with the church, please keep them between yourself and God in order to avoid losing the interest of potential members. 

Doesn't that sound a little bit cult-ish to you? Because it sure does to me. Personally, I would feel more disinterest after reading this kind of material than I would seeing the process those women have gone through to question their role in the church. 

"Aye man, I know you're uncomfortable with how we do around here, but you gotta keep that shit on lock because we need more people in our gang... I mean group." 

I don't think this message serves well for the LDS faith who is already struggling to keep a positive light in spite of negative media. I am well aware that the LDS faith teaches that doctrine is only that said by the church leaders during conference and those four special books. But if that's the case, why is this shit spreading like wild fire?

Frankly, I think the Jewish faith should seek legal action to ban pork and the Buddhists should do likewise in the killing of anything living just to adversely prove that catering the law to your specific religious beliefs is bullshit. 

But it's unlikely either religion would ever consent because they successfully practice the belief of treating others fairly despite their beliefs.

Lusting after a normal 9 to 5 so hard it's enough to make a One Direction fan look like an Irish catholic nun. 

Yeah, that's right. I watched Philomena. If I go to hell for having sex then at least I'll be in good company. Mark Twain once speculated about ending up down there so perhaps we could discuss literature in between our tortured screams of pain and regret for all our wrong doings. Plus if that means avoiding the judgmental and self righteous I wouldn't be mad about it. For the orgasms of course. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

I wish people would save their daily affirmations for their mirror and not Facebook. If you're a "bad emotionless bitch who don't care about the haters" and you have to constantly remind everyone, who are you really trying to convince? Obviously you have yet to convince yourself.
