#73 Are Mormons Christian? The Michigan Shooting & Narrative Distortion
A Think First Podcast with Jim Detjen
A tragic shooting at an LDS church in Michigan sparked a viral fight online — not just about violence, but about identity. Commenters claimed, “Mormons aren’t Christian.” Others insisted, “Christianity is under attack.”
This episode asks the harder question: why does grief get hijacked so quickly? Why do we rush to tribal labels instead of human loss? And what does it reveal when victims’ identities are rewritten before the blood even dries?
From the LDS debate to the larger pattern of narrative warfare, we follow how gaslighting and poetic truth bend reality — and how weaponized grief becomes a tool for politics, media, and control.
