Have you noticed that church leaders always know what Satan is up to and what he wants you to do? They seem to get it wrong about God a lot of the time (e.g. curse of Cain, policy change, Holland's Wrong Roads...) but they seem pretty certain about Satan. If I believed in the devil I think I would be tempted to wonder if maybe they have a more direct line to him.
Funny! Satan’s influence is certain and direct-every problem in our life is directly related to sin/temptation. But blessings aren’t that direct- we even have to have faith to not be healed by a priesthood blessing. So it does appear that the Mormon Satan is more powerful or at least consistent.

Oh hey thank you. Hey did anything ever come of those rescue missions? Was anyone at all rescued? And what were they rescued from anyway? I was too busy rolling my eyes over the very idea to pay much attention to it at all.
I think they were trying to rescue people from chronic eye-rolling fatigue, but they had to quit because they were just escalating the problem to critical levels. From this :roll: to a permanent condition of :shock:

Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

There are 2 Gods. One who created us. The other you created. The God you made up is just like you-thrives on flattery-makes you live in fear.

Believe in the God who created us. And the God you created should be abolished.
