      I bet they’re losing a lot of their kids from their religion because of what’s on there. That was my immediate thought.

      It’s possible for more than one thing to be bad, we don’t have to pick just one of the two.

          It also implies that one (the worst one) deserves more attention. In this case we should probably be paying attention to both.

                This is what they said; they implied the root comment was saying that two things couldn’t be bad or only one could be solved. But it didn’t. He said, paraphrasing, “there are two issues and I find this one to be far worse”.

                Ranking issues in terms of how bad they are seems a fairly normal thing to do. It also implies that there is more than one.

                  I don’t agree with that interpretation.

                  They simply stated that ranking things by “badness” also implies a ranking in terms of which one of those bad things is more urgent and should be addressed first - not that one thing was bad and that the other wasn’t, or that only one thing could be addressed.

      There are probably more tiktok-users than mormons though, so I’d argue tiktok is the bigger problem

      That’s not true at all. Are members of the Church of Jesus Christ misguided in how they treat their fellow members and their youth? Yes. But its fundamental teachings (not the toxic traditions of the members) are one of peace, love, and hope. This type of comment is rude, and offensive, and if it were regarding another group this kind of comment would be downvoted. But because it’s against a religion it’s ok to shit on their beliefs? This sentiment only breeds toxicity, and if we really want to help others who are affected by the toxic behaviors of all groups, we need to start with ourselves and how we treat (and look at) those whose beliefs differ from our own.

        blah blah blah blahhhhhh is all i read.

        Nah mormonism isnt even a religion its an evil pedophilic cult and all who willingly follow it are dumb cunts who all can go fuck themsleves. They are not misguided you dumb fuck they are brainwashed into believing bullshit made up by a grave robbing con artist out of desperation to make money. An evil cult that restricts progress and keeps its congregation blind and dumb.

        Yah this comment is meant to be rude, offensive, and disrespectful to mormonism and mormons good job champ for figuring it out.

        your comment is so fucking dumb holy shit.

          The sources of that Wikipedia page are solely from websites that are biasedly antagonistic towards the church. Could you link to official church teachings regarding this topic?
