Why Mormon Stories Called LDS Families ‘Villains’ - Did They Smear an Entire Religion?

[@jessicaloveridge2759]

I grew up with convert parents in Connecticut and we always prayed over our meals no matter where we were. Now I live in Utah and I find it strange that here were there are so many LDS people I hardly ever see anyone pray. Now I get the whole not praying to be seen thing. But we never prayed to be seen, we prayed because God should always come first and we shouldn’t be ashamed of that. I really don’t get this desire to escape your religion. It’s such a huge part of me, especially when I see the very tangible difference it has made in my family.

Let's normalize praying while eating out, personally a big fan 👍

What she misses about those Disney stories is all those villains were trying to cheat a way to eternal life. They are like the people who built the Tower of Babel while those who follow the right path achieve “happily ever after”. Basically she doesn’t understand the Christian literary themes in fairytales.

One thing I just thought of as she was saying that they’re villains are always trying to obtain an eternal life. They’re trying to change longevity in the life they already are at. They are trying to keep things they are in and not in the life that’s to come, kinda like in Star Wars with Anakin trying to keep things as they are, whereas The good Jedis end up becoming or going to the next step of their life and whatever spirit form they are.

That's a solid Star wars reference 💯
