In a post down thread in "Making Covenants," MG 2.0 observes alas, it seems as though almost anything connected with faith has a fair amount of uncertainty mixed in. It is repeated frequently by religionists that god favors those that act on mere faith over those that insist on knowing. In light of...

God and theism aside, humans have advanced by rejecting known options and seeking something more, something unknown and uncreated. I think faith is valuable when reality isn't good enough, and when through imagination we can make it better. Sounds like god resides in the cinematic arts. I'm an athe...

Nah, some do better and are aware that their position is risky and respect others who have chosen different positions.

Aside from that I would say that a roadblock to consenting, no abusive polygamy is that it seems legally complicated.

Furthermore in that time period they weren't in ours where it's more black and white. Now we see this as either confirmation or not of LDS claims. To them, the experie...

I'm talking about Joseph Smith, the doctrine and covenants, and the people since then and until now who use both as sources to legitimize abusive forms of polygamy. Meadowchik, you can talk about that as much as you want, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about legitimizing non-abu...

Coercive polygamy is the issue with Mormonism. So you're talking Reb Tevye and Golde versus Tzeitel and Motel. It was wrong for Tevye's and Golde's parents to arrange their marriage? It seemed like it turned out okay in the end. And by the way, I had a bishop tell me who he thought I should marry. ...
