On Maltheism from Wondermark

I really enjoyed this series about maltheism from the comic strip Wondermark, so I thought I would re-post them here. (This re-post is done with permission, by the way.) It's an interesting thought experiment, especially after my previous post about God. (Incidentally, I've been emailing back and forth with a friend about that post for the last three months. It's been an interesting discussion.)

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the strip!

CONTENT WARNING

The blog you are viewing is written by an inactive member of the LDS religion who was once a fully believing Mormon but eventually lost her faith. As such, this blog is not intended to be read by faithful Mormons. This blog contains perspectives that are skeptical of Mormon doctrine and are critical of the way in which the LDS Church presents church history to its members. It will also occasionally criticize mainstream Mormon culture and its leaders.

This blog is in no way meant to be hostile to members of the LDS religion and its purpose is not to destroy the faith of believing Mormons. Rather, this blog is merely a means of self-expression for the blog author and is intended to provide social support to other individuals who have already lost their faith in Mormonism or are highly skeptical of its truth claims. If you disagree with or feel personally threatened by these perspectives, you should not read this blog.

By clicking the OK button when you first visited the site, you signified that you understand the stated purpose of the blog and that you will not defame the character of the blog author as being an enemy to Mormonism. The author of this blog wishes to remind you that just because people might disagree with your perspectives, that does not automatically make them your enemy nor does it mean they hate you. Life is certainly more complex and nuanced than that.

About Oxymormon Girl

I'm an inactive Mormon who lives in Utah County. I stopped believing in the church because it no longer made sense to me on a rational level. I'm a mom, but I also have a career as an academic.

I was still an active Mormon and partially believing member when I first started this blog. At that time, my calling was as the 2nd Sunday Relief Society teacher. This blog is devoted to exploring the contradictions between what I used to say when I taught my lessons in church (even though I didn't believe) and what I really think. I also occasionally blog about my thoughts and experiences as I have left Mormonism. I write approximately 2 blog entries a month (and I should warn you that they're usually very long). See my blog entry About Me and My Blog for more details.

Both love and hate mail is expected. Feel free to email me. Be aware I take forever to respond to almost anyone. Also, I probably won't respond to trolls and flamers, but you're welcome to vent anyway.

For your reference, TBM = True Believing Mormon and NOM = New Order Mormon. TBMs are your average Mormons NOMs are non-believing Mormons who attend church.
