why am I in need of redemption? not perfect?

how does a perfect being create an imperfect me?

Mormonism, like christianity in general, is just asschat.

by the way, Shinedown's 2008 'Sound of Madness' CD is pure truth, genius. Buy it. Listen to it until your bosom burns. Then you'll know it is true. Until you realize that, you are not sincere, you are not applying Moroni's promise properly.

You might think that a perfect creator could create nothing but perfection? Well, obviously God creates junk, so what does that say about him?

Hello lucretia,

Many of your gripes with regards to God can be reconciled by looking into the possibility of reincarnation. Our life on earth is really another opportunity to evolve rather than some sort of test.

That's because we aren't the product of a perfect god. We are the product of God's kid brother.

Because you are no longer as God created you.

How was I when I was as god created me, that I am now no longer?

small. very very small. and in an environment where no sin was possible.

The better question might be... why did God create an environment in which man could not only sin, but where it was impossible NOT to sin?

What is your theory? why did perfect god create an environment in which it is impossible for man NOT to sin?

I think God is the Devil. Clearly only an Evil Creator could create Evil.

If jehovah is supposed to be only good, and lucifer only bad, did they start out as a single soul with good and bad, and his bi-polarization of good and bad became so pronounced that the cognitive dissonance too great to continue, and like cell division in a blastocyte, there was soul division, one free of bad and the other free of good? Now, they are ying and yang, each needing to play off the existence and efforts of the other, eternally linked in struggle with the other?

Is that what is in store for us, which have both good and bad impulses? Soul division? I hope not. That would be so one dimensional and boring.
