My brother posted a vid of Eddie Izzard. I made a joke about him not avoiding the appearance of evil but spreading it. And that that video could land him in the bishops office. He said he didn't know how avoiding the appearance of evil comes into play and that he thought it was hilarious. So I decided to drop a few quotes from profits about loud laughter. Then I remembered the temple covenant and dropped that in there to. That's when he decided to drop a line on me that was pure comedic gold.
"Why did you think this was a good place to preach about your religion?"
He knows I'm an atheist so he was being a little ironic. But I'm now going to use that line on every mishie that approaches me.
So I decided to drop a thought bomb on him. And I'm going to drop this bomb many more times when the opportunity arises.
"Don't take it seriously. If you do then you will miss the entire ironic point. The point is that very few people actually take it seriously. People won't drink tea because it was advised. But they will actively seek out things that make them laugh their guts out in direct opposition to a covenant not to do so. That's funny and ironic."
If they don't take their temple covenants seriously then they can't expect others to take their temple seriously. It's just a meaningless costume party.
