Michelangelo's statue David can be shown in Salt Lake if you cover its nakedness with LDS garments and the statue keeps them on day and night.

That was an interesting documentary. I'd never seen Utah politics explained in that manner.Moksha wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 3:14 pmHere is a brief documentary on Utah's strangeness:

When a Religion is good, I conceive that it will support itself; and when it cannot support itself, and God does not take care to support, so that its Professors are oblig’d to call for the help of the Civil Power, ’tis a Sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.
Benjamin Franklin

Re: Strange Results from Heaven War
In a place before this time
We all pledged with heart and mind
That our lives upon this earth
Would reflect our royal birth
So we'll stand up and walk away
From the Evil of Our day
We'll stand up with courage, might
And choose the right
Excerpt from song Rising Generation Janice Kapp Perry and Joy Saunders Lundberg
-------------
As part of a church choir I sang the above as a teen and it came back to my mind yesterday. Was thinking how nice to be taught that we made promises before we were born and now we will be accountable to them.

Or the author doesn't believe in metaphysics, just as the LDS don't. God has limits, he can't make a burrito so hot that he can't eat it.bill4long wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 10:44 amWhat's more goofy to me is the idea of a "war in heaven" in the first place. (Rev 12:7-10.) Imagine a bunch "spirits" or "angels" waging all out war against Big Daddy Most High who allegedly possesses all power in the universe. The rebels must have either been insane - which absolves them of any guilt - or Big Daddy Most High have some sort of "achilles heel" that the rebels reckoned they could exploit to take Big Daddy down.
Or it's just a fairy tale, made up by somebody who didn't think it through.

The beauty of Mormon theology is that everyone has "free agency" and God is merely relegated to the sidelines as an impotent old man drooling in his long, white beard.Pyreaux wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 2:56 pmOr the author doesn't believe in metaphysics, just as the LDS don't.
