The LDS Temple is Worse Than You Think

8 years ago I entered the LDS Temple for my first endowment session and it was the most magical time of my life. I learned the secrets of the universe: women bad, men good. As the veil was covering my face I was rethinking my whole life and how I ended up here, in my personal definition of hell.

I do not go into every ritual performed or every symbol decoded (Hint: see Freemasons), because honestly no one knows what they're doing in there or why they're doing it. Just think about Jesus, and you'll be fine.

If you want to see the endowment ceremony in full, there are plenty of videos on Youtube which I will not link here but are very easy to find.
