Nor do I. In fact I faced death already more than once.
However, the same cannot be said for allof mankind over the span of his existence.
Fear of mortality is primal, and man has often sought ways to rationalize it and construct immortality for himself.
Incidentally, I do beleive that human souls are eternal.
Now if you will excuse me I have to go and try to explain to my almost 5 year old why a man and another man dressed like a mommy are kissing on TV, and do so in such a way that he wont get sent to a reeducation camp or me arrested for a hate crime.

Its time to blow up your TV
So there are some absolutes...
So one must have Jesus in their to truly know right and wrong, or at least have an easier time of it...
So...
If I have extra time, I can be a Buddhist and arrive in the same place you will, despite the very clear words of Christ himself...
Cool, I can get discounts on Asian food...
Or, if I decide to follow Christ I can pick and choose what he says that I will listen to...
But of course then I have to ask how do you know that having Christ in your life is a good thing...
Read svcw’s posting history for the last couple days before condemning him about Mormonism.
chris, do you know Mormonism from the inside? Do you have family who are Mormons? Do you know what Mormonism can do to folks?
As I have stated previously, if you insist upon going on the attack, then prepare to be attacked.
As others have stated, what occurs here is getting tiresome.
I have a relationship with Jesus Christ.
I do not follow or practice any religion.
Furthermore, I do not care at all about Mormon doctrine or any other doctrine. I have no interest in religion whatsoever,
Mind your own business if you can, but I bet you cant.

Then why are you on the RF?? I will not ‘mind my own business because my FAITH demands that I tell others the truth and warn them of false gospels. That is from Jesus himself. Now if you think Jesus should have ‘minded his own business’ you take it up with Him, because had he done that, we would ALL be headed for a very deserving Hell.
BTW, attack away, I can handle it. But you are being a hypocrite - Godzilla is correct.
It’s simple. Stop bashing Mormons.
Think what you want of my posts, I think your posts are the most obnoxious of all on this website.
What kind of elitist statement is that about the pre-borns?
So infants killed post-abortion are somehow "worth" more than infants dismembered in the womb? [Remember: Romney advocated -- even post pro-life "conversion" -- that if a mom's "health" (loosely defined) wasn't up to her druthers...then her baby & body parts were up for grabs...Likewise, Romney advocated giving embryos up for 'research'...Aren't you glad your parents -- when you were an embryo -- didn't exercise that option?]
I guess you can thank God you got thru the womb, yes?
I want freepers to witness first hand the coverup.

Yep. I want them on record as denying the LDS church teaches things like that.
Religions are as religions do.
There are many similarities throughout.
Thus I do not practice or follow any.
I notice that you never added that you don't wish to control.
Which is a good thing you didn't add it, because we'd all see through it in a heartbeat.
For objecting so strenuously to others controlling you or others, you don't seem to have much problem DOING the controlling.
Ya think...
Yet another self-refuting statement...If you really believed this -- and practiced it yourself -- you'd let Reaganaut believe whatever makes her feel better, and let her do that...vs. attempting to veer her in another direction.
You're the religious hypocrites of hypocrites...because you make religious impositional statements...that are meant to apply to others -- yet never seemingly yourself...
Yet you call Jesus' words "religion" and "doctrine". Sounds like a pretty poor relationship. Jesus called it hiding your light under a basket.
No doubt that is true for the unbeliever.

reaganaut:I have no such fear. Im perfectly willing to die for my faith and perfectly fine if I die today.
Count me in for that, too.
My eternal destiny is my business.
It is not your business, and just because you BELIEVE that Jesus commanded you that my eternal destiny is yor business does not mean that I am going to allow you to make it your business.
You know I cannot see the difference between what you are saying you were commanded to do and what Muslims say they were commanded to do.
It amounts to the same thing, and that is control of others.
From your uninformed perpesctive that is a reasonable view. You might also, never having been burned by fire, tell me that your soup is 'HOT'. Given your lack of perspective you think your are right when you tell me that fire is also hot.
Many religions can and do control to an extent....A "soup is hot" extent.
I have burned in the FIRE of a works righteous cult. I have felt a tinge of hell on earth that nearly killed me. You have no more concept of what we warn others about than the man who has had soup but never been burned by fire.
You claim you do not like religion which I compare to soup, how much more then would you not like mormonism which I because of my experience liken unto fire ?
You mock soup (religion) because it is hot, then mock us because we warn of the heat of fire (mormon cult) ? What exactly is your point ?
Consider that God put us here to warn you so that you do not need to burn, as we did, before you believe.
Because that is an aspect my belief system.
It is not an absolute, it is what I have chosen to do in my life and my life alone.
I expect that if others chose the same, they would find that choice beneficial, but others may not agree with me.
What they choose to do is up to them.
Jesus told us to share the gospel - you call Jesus' words 'religion'.
Thus I do not practice or follow any.
Clearly don't follow Jesus' words on this point as well.
