I dislike religions in general because i think its a bunch of hypocrites manipulating fear of death in humans (the top religious positions, like the popes and cardinals etc during the last 2000 years) but i understand some people are honest in their faith and im ok with that.

There you go, the mormon story right from the Mormons. Its even weirder than they want to admit. This is a fantastic and great read, but I dont really expect anybodt to read OMGWALLOFTEXT! with current attention spans being what they are. Quote:

For every bit of anti-mormon comment I've ever read I've read even more compelling evidence supporting what I already know to be true. The video is amusing. It is not right from the Mormons but from what I gather it was instead made by some anti-Mormon entity. It blends actual Mormon doctrine with some things that are not doctrine, and like the South Park episode quoted earlier is meant to cast us in an unfavorable light and not to be objectionable or considerate at all. One critical indication of this to me is when they refer to Jesus as "The Mormon Jesus" There is only one Jesus. Again I say, as an adult are you going to formulate your opinion about someone's faith and beliefs from watching a cartoon or animated show? Aren't you in turn being manipulated by someone else into thinking or believing a certain way about something? The video is childish and again I say it is intended to harm, and not to instruct or enlighten. As for your comments against Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon I have read far more compelling acheological evidence of it than I ever have that speaks against it. http://newsnet.byu.edu/story.cfm/50535 What you have presented is one side of the story, and you do not even provide a reference. Ultimately nothing dealing with the Spirit of God can be definatively proven by science. It is not meant to be that way. It must remain a matter of faith thereby providing and protecting something very precious to us all. Free agency. With that in mind I have prayed and consulted with the highest, more reputable source possible, that of God Himself. I have recieved confirmation of the truth through His spirit, there is no greater witness, and I will not turn aside from it or deny it. Nor will I seek to impose it on any of you. You've made statements about my faith, and I am defending it. Mock me and all of religion if you wish, but for me it changes nothing. My faith is secure.

Much more difficult to act on faith and humble yourself and reach out to a higher power that is real and is there for you. Always. It is your choice to disregard anything anyone says but the only one you are selling short is yourself. You may choose to deny yourself something greater, but if you're so smart and secure with yourself why seek to undermine others? I've gone against my own personal dictates and posted what I really feel on this forum in general but I will not recount anything I have said. I know it is true and your insecurities will not alter that. I wish you well.

Myself, I'm not religious, but I was raised Christian, and that reasoning makes huge sense to me. But mormonism doesn't. Lets put aside the implausible origin story. What I'm confused about is why god needed an addendum to the Bible 1900 years later. Did he get it wrong? And if it really coincides with the Bible, which just from the little bit of doctrine I vaguely remember, I believe there were some contradictions, then why is god being redundant? So wrong or redundant, and why? Really curious about the mormon answer to the question.

should consider who you are applying it to. http://www.ldsfilm.com/100/lds100.html Some on the list have become inactive members but they at least grew up in member homes so who they are and how they did things can be attributed to their backgrounds. This isn't meant to be "holier than thou" or to make all of us Mormons out to look super smart but instead to inform people of who they really are calling "morons" not included on this list: Steve Young (49ers) NFL championship and Hall of Fame quarterback. And he holds a degree in law. Merlin Olsen (Rams) NFL Hall of Fame defensive lineman. Considered one of the best ever (he is now dead) he graduated summa cum laude with a degree in finance. Jon Heder - yes, Napolean Dynamite and more besides

I stopped beleiving in god at around 10, when i kept pestering my school principal (who was a priest) about bees going to heaven. Do bees go to heaven? If not, why not? At some point he snapped and told me "THEY JUST DONT!"
