Mormonism is far worse

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

"worse" generally means more bad than another thing that is also bad.

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

Mm no, they just said it was worse. You're reaching.

No, they said it was "far worse," which definitely implies a ranking of how bad they perceive the respective issues.

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

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.

they implied the root comment was saying that two things couldn't be bad or only one could be solved.

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.

It's a bad interpretation but you are, or course, welcome to it

I'm merely reiterating the position of the poster you replied to.

You can disagree with that position, but you seemed to be replying to a position that nobody was even taking.

I am not, you just haven't understood the position. But that's fine.

You were clearly arguing against a position that nobody here took.

That means you either lack the reading comprehension to understand what was stated, or you're purposefully creating a strawman to argue against.

I've explained in detail, you've not understood the explanation and taken an illogical stance.

I can't help you out of a hole you've put yourself in. It's okay to disagree though, you don't have to lower yourself to ad hominems.

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.

This is total nonsense. Educate yourself, start here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormon_teachings_on_skin_color

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?

No as I don't recognize them as useful to the topic. But you are free to. Knock yourself out.
