I'm LDS, and don't post much on the Religion forum, due to all the arguments that go on, but, I felt the need to post the 11th Article of Faith.

"We claim the privilege of worshipping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may."

I think it goes hand in hand with what President Hinckley said at General Conference.

Are the Muslims worshipping the same God as you? Just in their own way?

How about the Hindi?

allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may

How about a "Moloch Weekend" bar-be-que party? Anyone? Bueller?

Doesn't prevent the youngers [elders ???] on bikes from knocking on doors unsolicited and proselytizing to their religion.

None of us here require anyone believe anything. If someone wants to worship their navel, be my guest. Don't expect me to applaud their choice. I will encourage them to trust the finished work of Christ for forgiveness and eternal life while releasing their idolatrous home-made religion.

Some FR [FR5th Amendment]s claim they are being coerced. Baloney! These are mere words. Furthermore, they are anonymous. There is no leverage.

On the otherhand, if our posting historical documents and showing doctrinal inconsistencies causes someone to waiver, then the flaw is their object of faith, not our arguments.

BUT it is easier to whine to the mods in white coats, cry victimization and hit the abuse button. And around here that works.

What are the missionaries for?
