    congrats dude, you're Mormon

    so many americans walk around functionally believing pretty much exactly this, the LDS church just makes it undeniably explicit: We all think the United States is the promise land. It's funny that so much of the discourse around Mormonism gets tripped up arguing about the Trinity and drawing lines in the sand about what is and isn't Nicene Council approved "Christianity", it kinda misses what I think is the much more critical point: Mormonism is (for the most part) the average Protestant Yankee belief system, codified and given scripture.

    This is like that SCP Foundation story where it exists in every universe and some Foundations willingly destroy the others to ensure their survival, but none can in the end escape the multidimensional worm.

    "We will take your land, murder your people, deprive you of dignity and culture. But we will make up stories about how mystical you are, in order to create myths about our nation's founding. We will then use those claims of mysticism and wisdom to hawk garbage products that appropriate and defame your culture."

    monkey logic: a lot of rare events happened that led to the creation of USA -> a lot of rare events were destined to happen in order to create the USA. lmao

    I've thought about something like this but it was like, "Damn, once the molecules that make up my consciousness re-form billions of years after I die I'll probably live in a world without like, Minecraft"
