So different parts of the world have options to wear different mormon underwear that other parts of the world can't?
This is very confusing. If there are other styles that are mormon approved that he doesn't have because of his geography, does that mean those other people are not reminded of god because they aren't wearing the same undergarmets he is? If no, then there doesn't actually seem to be a correlation between what undergarments are worn and what promise was made to god, right? If church leaders can introduce new styles of undergarments, then where is god in the garments at all? If yesterday an undergarment wasn't church approved (and wouldn't remind a person of promises to god) the why, today, with the new undergarment approved would it suddenly take on the property of reminding of god?
Were talking about the same mormon church that said drinking soda was a sin for decades, but then bought stock in coca cola and suddenly decided soda was totally okay for everyone
This is how you know religion is man-made bullshit.
This part of The Book of Mormon musical basically says it all about their racism and flip flopping of rules:
Turns out that much of what the church says is “doctrine” is actually just authoritarianism.
