Re: New Name Noah's Brother

This is a copy of a post I posted on a Mormon site: Now you can kick me off of here as soon as I'm finished, since Mormons are pretty much cowardly and spineless, and they can't handle it when a smart grandmother tells them the truth. However, if you care to, you can come to the site I administer o...

Re: Sheri's book about Wendy's husband. "The Prophet Who Wal

You know, given the lofty roles Sheri Dew plays, and her single status in a religion that states marriage is necessary for exaltation I find it hard to believe she hasn't been at least sealed to someone. The tone of the excerpts I've seen from her book can only be described as adoring. Maybe she's P...

Re: "Research is Not the Answer"

Is atheism an inability to believe in God then? A lack of something within that other's have naturally. Is atheism an ability to see belief in God for what it really is then? Something within that others don’t have naturally? Shades said atheism was to religion what infertility was to parenthood. S...

If you believe that atheism is a religion too, then you believe that infertility is parenthood, too.

Re: "Research is Not the Answer"

And my favorite TV series of all time is "Black Adder", a clever satire on British history starring Rowan Atkinson. Have you ever read Graham Greene's "The Power and the Glory", about a Mexican state in the 1930s that banned religion? The main character in the story is a Catholi...

Re: First ever woman recounting second anointing?

https://www.mormonstories.org/podcast/truth-seeking/ Hans and Brigitta Mattsson share their experience receiving the second anointing. I'm confident this may be the first woman to share publicly the details about receiving second anointing. It's worth a listen. Not even close to the first woman. Fa...

Re: You don't need Jesus

This man has been dead for 2000 years and he's never coming back. You don't need him to be a good person. You don't need him to be forgiven by an invisible god of the Bible. You don't need him, period. What you need is YOU and those who love you -- real, living, and breathing people. Give up the im...

Re: You don't need Jesus

Laugh it up. You know very well, a guy has a right to change his mind and I've decided not to represent your views about your independence or dependence on your imaginary Jesus. Therefore, we will allow it to remain a mystery. Nobody cares what you think of imaginary Jesus. Nobody cares what you th...
