Was the twin banging and the gay wedding the same event? Joel Send a noteboard - 04/10/2011 06:36:03 PM
Let me add to this. We also believe that the Native American people will become a great and righteous people once again. Doctrine and Covenants 3:20 says, "And that the Lamanites(Native Americans) might come to the knowledge of their fathers, and that they might know the promises of the Lord, and that they may believe the gospel and rely upon the merits of Jesus Christ, and be glorified through faith in his name, and that through their repentance they might be saved. Amen."

it's okay that you think they "turned dark" because they were evil (despite the fact that evidence suggests that the human species "Turned white", not the other way around)...because your white religion will "Save them".

That's so much better.


This is and always will be my major problem with religions like this. "Nono, we don't think you're all bad people, but if you don't believe like we do, there will be hell to pay for you once Christ returns."

Well guess what? If there is a God he certainly doesn't like bullies like that. And just in case, at least I lived a life in sin, had fun, banged twins and danced at gay weddings. (dramatization: may not have happened).

It is wrong to count such things twice. Except on the Purity Test, of course, where every technicality counts. :|

For the record, as noted below, Christianity (not to be confused with Mormonism) is predicated on the notion that we are all bad people (or rather, people who do bad things) and there will be Hell to pay for all of us when Christ returns unless we let Him do something about that. "Holier than thou" is not really on the table.

Yikes. Even for religion, that's more than a little crazy. Nate - 04/10/2011 03:47:56 PM 1176 Views
I don't think there's much of a difference in crazy as opposed to other more mainstream religions. Vivien - 04/10/2011 07:08:06 PM 1143 Views
A difference exists if only in continued unabashed affirmation of a rather distasteful doctrine. Joel - 04/10/2011 11:06:51 PM 1141 Views
Then why can't women be priests? Or enter the altar? The curse on Eve is very much in place. *NM* Aeryn - 05/10/2011 12:27:04 AM 612 Views
