And so your indecisive theological relativism is now supposed to be the standard that we all operate under?
What kind of religious imperial nonsense is that?
Yesterday was the anniversary of David Koresh & Branch Dividians' death. How many kids died again?
But you would live in a world where we are to not "comment" upon that or upon religious kool-aid drinkers...a leader (Jones), BTW, who in that circumstance, once held to fairly straightforward orthodox Christian views.
I've got news for you: Not all religious opinions have equal weight.
Someone who treats abortion as a sacrament is not on the same faith opinion ground as those who treat the Body and Bread of Jesus Christ as a sacrament.
Mormons say they are followers of Christ. They say that Christ has a prophet on the earth to help them find the truth. Mormons don’t blindly follow a prophet. They are admonished to pray to God to find out if any statement that affects them from their prophet is true or not. No one forces them to be Mormon, they may leave the faith at any time without prejudice. All they need to do is write a letter to their pastor saying they want to be taken off the rolls of The Church.
Theological relativism? Isn’t that exactly the standard that we came here from Europe to espouse. Aren’t we all all supposed to believe that our religion is the right one but that your religion has as much right and legitimacy as mine?
Some raw nerves are exposed here, I don’t mean to rub anybody the wrong way it is just that my experience with many different people of many different faiths shows there are a lot of very good people in this country and they are not all of the same faith. The Mormons seem to be as good as any of them and their religious standards are to be admired. I don't think I ever met a practicing Mormon that I didn't like, perhaps even admire.
As far as espousing abortion as a sacrament, I would trust an anti-abortion atheist before I would support a Christian abortionist regardless of how often the Christian took the sacrament.
