Reading WRITING too much fiction will do that to a person they start to dream like Walter Mitty?
and start gibbering things like the enemy of my enemy is my friend
I Will Be a Second MohammedIn the heat of the Missouri Mormon War of 1838, Joseph Smith made the following claim, I will be to this generation a second Mohammed, whose motto in treating for peace was the Alcoran [Koran] or the Sword. So shall it eventually be with usJoseph Smith or the Sword! [1] It is most interesting that a self-proclaimed Christian prophet would liken himself to Mohammed, the founder of Islam. His own comparison invites us to take a closer look as well. And when we do, we find some strikingand troublingparallels. Consider the following.
I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him, but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet.[4] In light of these parallels, perhaps Joseph Smiths claim to be a second Mohammed unwittingly became his most genuine prophecy of all. [1] Joseph Smith made this statement at the conclusion of a speech in the public square at Far West, Missouri on October 14, 1838. This particular quote is documented in Fawn M. Brodie, No Man Knows My History, second edition, (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1971), p. 230231. Fawn Brodies footnote regarding this speech contains valuable information, and follows. Except where noted, all the details of this chapter [16] are taken from the History of the [Mormon] Church. This speech, however, was not recorded there, and the report given here is based upon the accounts of seven men. See the affidavits of T.B. Marsh, Orson Hyde, George M. Hinkle, John Corrill, W.W. Phelps, Samson Avard, and Reed Peck in Correspondence, Orders, etc., pp. 579, 97129. The Marsh and Hyde account, which was made on October 24, is particularly important. Part of it was reproduced in History of the [Mormon] Church, Vol. III, p. 167. See also the Peck manuscript, p. 80. Joseph himself barely mentioned the speech in his history; see Vol. III, p. 162.

Resty, as much as love you, I know that you believe with all your might that when I die, I will never get to see Jesus. That somehow it is even POSSIBLE to have a "heaven" without the presence of Jesus.
This is the Mormon teaching that makes the least amount of sense to me.
Christians know there are only two options when you die: Being with Jesus, WHICH IS HEAVEN, and being without Him, which by its very definition is the eternal torment of Hell.
The end, period, no more second chances, no part-time visiting Jesus, no consolation prize of the Holy Ghost.
It frightens us Inmams to our souls to think you are taking this so light-heartedly. This is no game my beloved friend.
No sweetie, ghosts are spirits of dead things.
MY GOD LIVES!

My father’s best friend was raised a Mormon.
And when they were in their youth my father asked him, “You believe you’ll get your own planet. All Mormons believe this. How many Mormon planets do you believe will be out there in the Universe?”
My father’s friend just gave him a shrug of his shoulders and said, “Yeah, I know. That’s what we believe. But, it doesn’t sound right, does it?”
I was just REALLY wanting to see if you’d, somehow, been grabbed by the Mormons: glad to see that you haven’t!
Thank you for pinging me to this, even though I’m late arriving.
No prob.
