There are some quirks. I could see how you'd think that. I might see it that way now that the initial shock is long over.

Normies? On this site? There's a reason I didn't post it to Reddit. Although I found it there, ironically.

I'm on mobile. I guess i could've included a second picture? Idk. I'll reply with a crosspost link

But then again I was hoping somebody in the comments would explain and here we are.

There's also BYU-Idaho. My education was based as hell lol. I knocked out the mandatory religion minor studying abroad at their Jerusalem Center. I highly recommend for anybody. It was 8k for that semester. My two year mission abroad was 10k. Invaluable experience.

The funny thing is a lot of the science professors aren't literal believers, although you'll never get them to admit it. It's really not as bad as people think. Only the super soft majors suck, but those suck everywhere; it's just at BYU the zealots are in an organized religion instead of an informal cult (neo-marxism). Pick your poison.

Oh and the nursing program is excellent at both schools.

...technically no, but it might be incredibly awkward if you aren't Mormon.

I'm sure they would love to invite you along as a potential convert, but the program is heavily tied to doctrine as far as I understand, which isn't bad, just way more religious than Boy Scouts ever was. By that, I mean Boy Scouts had a secular aim with a religious flair, and the Mormon program has a religious aim with a secular flair. Self improvement is a major focus. They even have a similar program that teaches self-worth to teenage girls.

I've been out of the church for a while. Also, I'm not sure how formally structured or focused it is. It was new when I left.

Anyways, I'm not trying to discourage you. Mormons are super nice and they teach lots of wholesome things. They get a lot of things right.

I just don't literally believe their claims on the Book of Mormon anymore, which is a huge deal to them.

One other thing. If you want a cheap, good education for your kids, BYU is ~3k a semester as a 4 year university with one of the highest ranked business, accounting, and law schools in the west. They admit non-members and it's free from the leftist bint of pretty much every other college.

The only drawback is no drinking or fornication allowed (to get caught). Lots of families of other religions value that (especially Catholics and Muslims).

Oh god the Witcher series had awful transition cues. I liked pretty much all the quality of the dialogue and characters and scenery, but it took me until halfway through the season to realize there were different timelines. I was so confused.

Reminds me of the journalist who asked the Gaza dweller why their fire-bomb kite had a swastika on it. "It makes the Jews crazy" he said. The journalist was dumbfounded.

The Mormons took their ball and went home and started a proprietary program.

The Vision of the Anointed.

Thomas Sowell lays bare the bullshit of detached, pseudo-intellectuals who have influenced policy this since the sixties. It's shockingly relevant, frustratingly so, for today. Especially the Covid crap.

Except when the Y is defective, as some are. Rare, but not unheard of.

And some X's have a Y translocation, a "hybrid" chromosome, as it were. It can get weird.

The correct assumption when one uses "very" to describe a binary concept. You either are, or you aren't. No extremes about it. Unless you're trying to be special. Which they are. In several ways.

I see that cultist pop in here from time to time. And people keep responding to him.
