>>You can't even apply that to the family.

You are not creating; procreating is not creation, but close. That is why your authority is not absolute. I would say Society, not government, the government should not be involved (I am a conservative after all) then God.

>>God isn't called "Father" for nothin'!

I agree, whole heartedly!

Hold it, hold it. Would you "enlighten" me, please, if you hold positions counter to LDS theology?

(1)Do not LDS believe that God's means of creation is indeed literal procreation? Does not Father-God and Mother-God have literal spiritual children up there who are simply waiting to inhabit bodies down here?

In other words, more than in any other faith, isn't procreation and creation linked in LDS theology to as high of a degree as you can get?

I mean, this theology is so set that McConkie said that the Father-god's paternity of Christ was literal. Brigham basically said the same thing, as did other LDS prophets.
