A very tiny Mormon style miracle - My Starbucks name is the same as my temple new name.
Does anyone else have tiny Mormon miracles, besides finding lost car keys?

As an exmo, the following excerpts from a piece written by Jim Palmer really resonated with me, because so many of the blessings that the Mormon Church offers are only redeemed in an afterlife.

>What if the afterlife is the most effective scam religion ever sold
because it convinces people to tolerate lives they should be revolting against?
>What if calling this world “temporary” has been the single greatest obstacle to justice, urgency, and courage the human species has ever invented?
>What if heaven was never about hope but about pacification?
I know that this isn't just Mormonism, but Mormons seem to put an extra emphasis on the next life with genealogy and temple work for the dead.
Where I used to think it was a noble endeavor, now I just see it as another fund raising opportunity for the Mormon Church.
Palmer closes with this:
>No one is coming to save us.
>There is no cosmic cleanup crew.
>There is no divine bypass around responsibility.
>This life is not a test.
>This world is not a waiting room.
