"But the Church is so wholesome!" (self.exmormon)

"How can you hate the Church if its teachings are so wholesome?

"It only teaches that you are an enemy to God, worth less than the dust of the earth, and that you cannot escape eternal punishment unless you accept that a blood sacrifice was made on your behalf and you spend the rest of your life doing exactly as we say. Oh don't worry, it will all be worth it after you finally die."

It blows my mind that I used to actually agree with this.

Instead of actually being happy, I remember this distinct culture of everyone pretending to be happier than they really were. After all, living the gospel is the greatest happiness you can have, right? You must be doing something sinful if you're not happy!
