LDS/Mormonism is not completely logical. Neither is Judaism or any form of Christianity, neither is Islam.

The Buddha said “The things of G-d are unknown, and unknowable, so why argue?”

Pretending to reason when discussing religion is an interesting conceit, but that is all. Making fun of someone else’s religion by asserting that it is not logical is dishonest.

Believe what you want. Don’t pretend to be an honest and rational party unless you discuss your own religion with that same standard.

That is exactly what I did, which is how I ended up leaving Mormonism and becoming a Christian.

It is, however, completely HERETICAL.

Is this a "reason"able statement?

If so, per your own religious standard, you're simply exercising "conceit."

(So why don't you take your self-confessed religious arrogance elsewhere?)

Don’t pretend to be an honest and rational party unless you discuss your own religion with that same standard.

Oh. Another 'enlightened' religious sentiment masquerading as a 'standard' of sorts.

Obviously it's one of those "this commandment is for thou' 'cause we don't see donmeaker discussing his own religion here.

So. 2-for-2 on self-refutations...hard to do in one post; but you managed.
