I need to figure out a better and quicker way to bend selections in Gimp.

Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the result.

So... by what I understand, the 'patron saint' of the Mormons is that guy right there. Moroni. So why aren't they called Morons?

Here ya go.

You could have used google images, you know, but anonymous is generous.

Also, does anyone know how to bend a selection in Gimp to make the turn in the horn in the OP?

There's got to be an easier and better way than loths of fucking with the clone tool like I did.

fucktards like you don't understand what freedom of religion means.

Mormons are free to believe whatever the fuck they want.

And I am free to mock them for doing so.

I find it very hard to believe you're a Mormon. If you are you're setting a very bad example for our religion.>>83106is right and ofcourse I am allowed to disagree with his stand point in regards to the church.

I think I heard it being called so because Mormon did most of the "post processing" or "editorial work" before it was buried. It's a shorter compendium of a bunch of plates that were edited together by Mormon.

Why would mormons be on 4chan? I find it hard to believe. There's porn here, and that's bad. So is caffeine and movies rated [R] and up. What if the temptation gets you? Wouldn't you lose your temple recommendation if the bishop found out?

Currently I'm not in a position to get a temple recommend either way, due to inactivity. I do avoid alcohol, drugs, coffee, tea and even cola, that doesn't have anything to do with being on 4chan. I'm not an American mormon and here the rating system is different, it's quite accepted for members here to watch regular movies although excessive violence, sex and bad language is still shunned at. The porn is very bad and I'd definitely get owned for that even if it's not the reason I'm here.

OP here.

I don't have anything particularly against Mormons. It's just that every time I see one of the Moroni statues at the top of a temple, he looks to me like he's taking a hit off that horn.

Mormons are goofy, but innocuous. Many of their values have a lot of merit; self reliance, personal responsibility, etc. I just think their mythology is pretty strange and begs a lot of skepticism. But find me a religion that doesn't.

They're nowhere near as fucked up as the scientologists. And when you politely refuse to accept their arguments, they politely shake your hand and go on their way; they don't cut your head off like the fucking muslims do.

Really?

The I advise you to avoid visiting any place controlled by either of them, because they'll happily cut your head off too.

Well, maybe not the Sufis, but the Shiites and the Sunnis sure as hell will.

maybe I dont know very much about them, well expect sufi, I guess because my uncle is a Naqshbandi Soufi so I guess it's related.
he is very nice tho and while he reads a lots of religious book and often go to some semniary he has a large sense of humor, watchs all shit on TV and do laugh when I laugh at him because because of the way he practice islam. he is like "oh I can watch the shit because I know what's good and evil and I can see it" I laugh and he knows that I think taht's just stupid but we re just mans.
and he has no problem when I crtisize him more seriously about the way he follow a leader while it's not something that islam recommend (from my vision)....
bah anyway this is 4chan I ll gtfo after this post cause I know you guys dont like those posts...
let's just have a thought for all those religious people who lost their soul their brains and most important their humor sense.
I would have posted the caricature of mohamed if I had it hr even if It wasn't funny for me(this image hasn't made me laugh only because it was as funny as the "I put some ham in your desert give it to me now" I have heard so many times when I was young, but well there is nothing chocking about it, just a draw)

It sounds like he's a Sufi and so are you. And I know the spelling doesn't match, but that doesn't matter.

Of the three main branches of islam, the Sufis are the only ones that GET IT™ (or at least come the closest). Unfortunately, they're also the smallest and least powerful branch, and they tend to suffer from both Shia and Sunni alike.

The reason for this, I think, is that Shiism and Sunniism were both born out of the political struggle for power between different factions within the faith immediately after the death of the prophet. As such, they are both tainted by politics and the struggle for power. The Sufis, meanwhile, stayed on the veranda and prayed, thereby retaining the truth of the faith, and avoiding the corruption of politics.

Of course, I may be wrong. I am not muslim (far from it) and mostly self taught on matters of islam.

I wouldn't consider Sufism a "branch" of Islam since "Sufism is a spiritual practice followed by both Sunni and Shi'a"

The Kharijites sound more sensible than the other Islamic sects(maybe why they are so small):
"Another sect which dates back to the early days of Islam is that of the Kharijites. The only surviving branch of the Kharijites are the Ibadi Muslims. Ibadhism is distinguished from Shiism by its belief that the Imam (Leader) should be chosen solely on the basis of his faith, not on the basis of descent, and from Sunnism in its rejection of Uthman and Ali and strong emphasis on the need to depose unjust rulers. Ibadi Islam is noted for its strictness, but, unlike the Kharijites proper, Ibadis do not regard major sins as automatically making a Muslim an unbeliever. Most Ibadi Muslims live in Oman."

Like I said, I am self taught in matters of religion, but this is how I've ovserved things.

Sufiism is not a "politicized" school of islamic thought like Shia or Sunniism, so you're right in that it is not quite a "branch" like them. And there are Sifu philosophic schools derived out of both Shia and Sunni camps.

However, the Sufi philosophy itself is functionally distinct from both the above in its emphasis of personal experience being the only possible path to understanding of god. In this way, for Sufi's the position of teacher to student is much less of a master / pupil dichotomy and more of a two way flow of learning. The master learns from the student even as he teaches. In this, Sufiism has many similarities with various gnostic like philosophies and certain aspects of buddhism which are almost antithetical to the teachings of mainstream Shia or Sunni thought.

The believe that god can only be an individual experience and not forced upon one is probably the primary reason why Sufi's are significantly less likely to engage in violence as a means of converting others to their beliefs. Moreover, many mainstream Sunnis and Shia themselves believe quite strongly that Sufiism is not true islam, and they have been shown to have few qualms about using the sword to press this opinion.

Yes, I am a Mormon. So? I don't see any problem. I embraced my eternal soul long ago and I am happy together with my wives (who are all active relief society goers!). We have a fukken lot of friends in and outside of the Church, and I am pretty much looking like a missionary.

But thanks anyway asshole. Go and watch your stupid anime shit while i BAPTISE my ancestors.

Seeing Mormons on 4chan is hilarious. Do you just not look at the NSFW boards?

And it seems to me like the name might have come from, you know, _The Book Of Mormon_. Being in the title, and all.

Hahahahahahahahahah Mormons on 4chan. That's a time paradox in itself.


You seriously cannot claim yourself to be a mormon and browse 4chan, especially Hi-Res. Who the hell are you kidding.
