I think it’s funny when people debate if Mormons count as Christian not just in a “belong to true faith way” bc whatever but try to expand it to an analytical definition like dude if you look up the history of Christian sects and look at the fringes you’re gonna find ppl that think Jesus’s first incarnation was as the Serpent in the Garden of Eden coming to liberate Adam and Eve from being imprisoned like to be perfectly honest the whole “deification” thing with Mormons is actually one of their weird beliefs that has the most precedence in Christian history broadly speaking which is why I guess a lot of them are actually getting into studying Early Gnosticism and my god do I wanna see what that results in down the line

Beware Trump… you’ve reawakened the wrath of… anti-Trump neocons… uh, really think you’re gonna beat us 24 times in a row?

Also I like how Sabbatai Levi’s followers who held faith he was the messiah even after he publicly renounced his claim and became Muslim would in turn also ‘convert’ to Islam in his footsteps but as crypto-Jews (Levi apparently would even send some letters to these followers until Ottoman officials caught on and he became a good boy) and like since the key moment for their movement was the belief that public apostasy was part of God’s plan they didn’t simply believe that “lying” was something acceptable in certain circumstances but that being deceptive and hidden about faith was in itself a holy activity and they became the most confusing and opaque esoteric movement ever to the point where people legitimately do not know if they’re still around or not
