Re: War in Heaven: The 3rd Party
Lucifer Every one is to use free agency and treat each other as they want to be treated. By having empathize for their fellow man, people learn how to better each other together. Religion isn't a big thing and won't be pushed. Instead he encourages people to think for themselves and create their ...

Re: Make Lying Un-American.... Again?
The challenge is that both red and blue camps believe it's the other side that's lying. I think herein lies the biggest problem. Each side lies and lies a LOT. Bill Clinton claimed he did not have sexual relations with that woman. G. W. Bush claimed that there were large amount of WMDs in Iraq ...

Re: What happened to deism?
Deism always struck me as atheism for an era when atheism was not socially acceptable. It is as close as you can get to not believing in a god as you can get without not believing. In time not long after the Salem witch trials, not believing in a god could have messy consequences. Today, now that ...

Re: My Country/Church- Right or Wrong! the price of Loyalty.
I understand the logic. Mormonism does respond to pressure from within to change, but it is a VERY SLOW process. The church is setup in such a way to actively limit change. Dissent is frowned upon and leadership is encouraged to tow the party line. Members are actively taught to avoid thinking for ...

Re: Lamanite Story from Siberia
In addition to Siberia, did Jesus ever visit China or India? Did Mormon god forsake 25%+ of the world's population in his hurry to get to the few remaining cities in the America?

Re: What is the most harmful lie the Church has perpetrated?
If you are asking about harmfulness, I would say: "We are the gold standard for protecting children." It is getting to the point that there are more lawsuits against Mormon church leaders for child and/or sex abuse than the Roman Catholic church which has over 70 times as many members. This belief ...

Re: Heretic Movie
It is interesting how TMBs react to Mormonism in the Cinema and how that has evolved. When The Singles Ward came out, it was generally loved by TBMs because it had an overall positive message about Mormonism and the fact that a movie about Mormons got wide release. I recall God's Army also was ...

Re: Are all Church Teachings Malleable?
I can only think of one teaching that is hasn't changed and that is it worship the leadership.
Other than that, Basically every Mormon teaching has changed at some point or other.

Re: Heretic Movie
I have seen one Mormon reviewer claim it is full of anti-Mormon and anti-Christen materiel and had a predictable negative rating. I was tempted to ask exactly what parts of the movie were not accurate about Mormon theology and if he could cite any sources for it, but I don't know if I have the brain ...

Re: Beards, etc.
When my FIL was bishop, he was repeatedly suggested to shave his mustache, but he always refused. That was his old hippie self protesting "the Man" in his modern way. Still has it even today.

The main presenter mentioned that, unlike most people, he doesn't need any evidence for the Book of Mormon, and he's fine with the notion that it happened in "a different realm." I find this very interesting because I have been predicting that people would start to promote the idea that the BoM is ...
