Re: Protestants Opinion Of Mormons Makes My Point Clearest
I thought you said we don't have the right to judge, that we must accept since he is perfect and we can never understand his perfection.

Re: Protestants Opinion Of Mormons Makes My Point Clearest
God doesn't say. Someone or some group says that God says. That's how they get you to believe there's no choice in the matter, He's perfect and you can't even begin to understand, so just follow and obey or go to hell.
And when people just follow their infallible god you get 9/11 and other such tragedies.

Re: Protestants Opinion Of Mormons Makes My Point Clearest
But honestly following the truth will lead to constant revising and reneging in every sphere.
That is what mysteriously eludes you.

Re: Protestants Opinion Of Mormons Makes My Point Clearest
Fine. But don't tell me the imaginary being you choose to follow is not understood by me because He is perfect and knows better and I'm not and can't begin to understand his magnificence.
This is what Lenin and Mao told the people of their countries: that they understood the Higher Order of things about which they were ignorant and following their lead would take them to the Promised Land. It's a recipe for disaster in both the political and religious arena.

Not Ready Cohorts
I throw a beautiful unhittable slider that nips the outside corner and Not Ready knows he doesn't have to even swing at it (and surely miss). Because he knows a bunch of atheists are going to insist on coming in to throw fastballs up the middle, which at the very least he will be able to foul off.
