You encounter ‘pride and snobbery’ in any religion - many people are not good representatives of the religions that they ostensibly espouse; they often allow their egos and fears to become involved and to confuse things.
I was interested in understanding more about the actual *theology* of Mormonism - especially from the people who consistently disparage - or argue FOR it - on this forum.
I have no dog in the fight - I’m not a member of any organized religion - (not a member of any ‘Informed Community’, either - :-) and don’t subscribe to any particular creed.
I’m just very interested in religious beliefs. And it seems to me that if people are going to fight for or against any religion, they should be able to explain their reasons logically, and in their own words, from an informed standpoint.
The BoM says God is eternal. In Joseph Smith’s King Follett Discourse he says God isnt.
And yes snobbery can afflict anyone, but my main point in that post was that the LDS Church is a works based religion. One way that’s seen is only certain members are Temple Worthy.
