*** Once Mormons realize Mormonism is false they typically move into atheism because it is almost impossible for them to disassociate their knowledge of God,****
Years ago I saw Madalyne Murray O’Hair on the Larry King show, some time before she took her dirt nap.
On the show she said that the best atheists were former Mormons and Catholics.
I prefer to be called Theist in as much as I know there is a great creator of all things, however I believe that all organized religion is only about egoistic idiots full of themselves and the money they can extract from the eyes glazed over believers.
Sorry, Mormon family and friends, this how I see it.
goodness gracious! that is completely opposite what all you venomous mormon bashers do on FR, isn’t it?
If you see it, report it to the religion mod.
That’s ironic. I’ve always believed those theists that eschew organized religions were egotistical idiots full of themselves because they’ll acknowledge a creator, but catagorically refuse to acknowledge any revelation or authority about that creator higher than their own opinion, no matter how haphazardly formed.
Refuting Mormon theology insofar as it claims to be a branch of Christianity, is not “bashing.”
It is educating.
Sounds like you’re full of yourself as well.
No, my thoughts are that no one gets any revelation at all no matter what stupid and silly talking points they falsely try to get the idiots to believe. And those that fall for it are really shallow idiots.
I hope you’re not one of them.
Madalyne Murray O’Hair...
I think about her every so often. And wonder if the temperature suits her.
Or Attack Watch.
That has to be the most hilarious web site ever.
I believe that Mormons have put the Christ back into Christianity.
Non-LDS Christianity, believe that those who may be good people but who do not believe as they do will get damned with an acetylene torch burning on them for eternity.
This is neither justice or mercy ... and neither is their dark-age view of Jesus Christ.
Through revelations by Jesus Christ himself to the Prophet Joseph Smith, Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) have learned what Paul ment in 1 Cor 15:29 as well as his descriptions of a 3rd Heaven as well as the resurection being in the glory of the Sun, Moon and Stars.
Jesus Christ is once again speaking to manking ... and has shown that he is Just and Merciful ... instead of the antiquated, viewpoints that were forced on Christianity by Pagan Monarchs such as Constanitie and political intrigue through the dark ages.
Rejoice oh Earth .... Christ has set his hand again to establish his church in preparation for his second coming!
Not really. I just know easy contempt is usually born of utter ignorance.
For example, by what standard do you consider your "thoughts" any more valid than those you hold in contempt?
Furthermore, if your opinion were provably wrong, how could someone prove it to you?
Understand that is NOT a rhetorical question. If you have not worked out what it would take to prove you wrong, even if someone DOES prove it you won't recognize that fact any more than a blind man will recognize when a lizard changes color.
Christ never left Christianity that he should need to be restored to it.
Moreover, the notion that Christianity teaches good people go to hell for not being in the club is as childish and ridiculous as the idea that heaven is an eternity of harp playing on fluffy white clouds.
Who taught you there is even one “good man?” That’s not the message of the Bible.
10As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17And the way of peace have they not known: 18There is no fear of God before their eyes. (Romans 3:10-18)
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9)
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. (Isaiah 64:6)
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned (Romans 5:12)
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. (Psalm 51:5)
Actually knew a Woman who was married to a Mormonm Bishop when they came to the conclusion that Mormonism was a lie. They divorced and both of them slept around with a number of others, reasoning that if Mormonism was a lie, then so were all other religions; so there was no moral objection to unmarried sex. This gal's ex-husband stated dating and sleeping with her best friend ansd she saw no problem with that. The had nine children ranging from 2 to 21 at the time.
If “goodness” were a prerequisite for entrance to Heaven, only dogs would go there.
“I believe that Mormons have put the Christ back into Christianity.”
No, mormons have attempted to re-define Jesus and to put a counterfeit Christ into Christianity.
Mormonism’s validity rests solely on whether Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God....and he was lacking.
1. He lived a life of sin - serial adulterer and treasure seeker
2. He failed to make accurate predictions of future events
3. There’s no factual basis to back his claims
4. His story about the 1st vision changed numerous times
I’m sorry you have been duped into believing the lies of that con artist. I’ll pray that you come to believe in the true, biblical Christianity.
