Ex-Mormons Laughed. Now They're Just Orbiting the Truth!

Many ex-Mormons I engage with regarding Mormonism seem to hold a strong conviction that it is entirely incorrect, which makes it challenging to have any meaningful discussions on the topic due to their lack of openness and understanding.

I searched through all the forums for a thread discussing whether parts or even most of Mormonism, particularly its teachings about the afterlife, could be partially true, but I haven't found anything yet. Is it possible that many visitors to this board are resistant to new ideas and prefer to maintain their closed-mindedness towards Mormonism as a way to cope with their departure from the church? Additionally, I believe the prevailing groupthink mentality "cultiness" present here contributes to this situation. There is certainly a prevailing groupthink mentality present here, which heavily influences the board. This atmosphere stifles the discussion of diverse perspectives, as certain board members, such as Gadianton, Wang Chung, and Canpakes, DrCamnPP, with others, tend to dominate threads. Their initial posts often focus on defending the anti-Mormon narrative, which is so pervasive on this board that it resembles a belief system of its own.

Let us explore some of the potential truths present in the Mormon gospel that are frequently overlooked by many Christians, atheists, and uninformed ex Mormons. Mormonism is unique in its belief that after death, some individuals may have the chance to become gods and ultimately create their own worlds, populating them with spirit children. This belief distinguishes Mormonism from all other religions, particularly within Christianity. What makes this belief intriguing is that as we, as a society, learn more about the universe and beyond, the teachings of Mormonism regarding the afterlife increasingly appear to align with potential realities. Here are some facts. The universe we inhabit spans 93 billion light years and is home to hundreds of billions of galaxies. Physics presents various models that indicate the possibility of multiple or even infinite universes. Physics also suggests that new bubble universes are constantly forming, each with different physical laws. Some interpretations propose that each quantum event may cause reality to branch into parallel universes. One theory proposes that there may be as many as 10^500 universes, each possessing distinct properties. As of now, more than 5,000 exoplanets have been discovered since 1995.

As we uncover more information about the universe and beyond, the teachings of the afterlife in Mormonism are increasingly resonating. If there are indeed billions of universes with trillions of planets, it seems improbable that we are the sole living beings in existence. However, the true question is this. Will the individuals on this board, such as Gadianton, Wang Chung, or Canpakes, be able to engage in a discussion on this topic without resorting to their prevailing ideological perspectives? Or will they continue their usual pattern, signaling to others who share their views to join this thread and inundate it with negativity, aiming to suppress any conversation that might portray Mormonism in a favorable manner?

I set the anti Mormons free!! Let the negativity begin!

Ill be updating this thread constantly with information that confirms we are not the only ones existing in this universe.

Are you bed bound now, or did you ever get a handle on your weight and fitness? Despite you being execrable I still hope you found your way out of that morass.

I have not yet read the book, but The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu delves into alien civilizations and humanity's reaction to contact. It seems to be rooted in profound philosophy and scientific principles. Has anyone read it? Is there any comparison between the Mormon belief in the afterlife and the concept of becoming a god?

Perhaps DrCamnPP would like to read the book to see if its content aligns with Mormon beliefs. DrCamnPP, would you be open to reading Liu Cixin's book and then returning to this thread to share your thoughts on any parallels between the book's content and the teachings of Mormonism? Pretty Please!!

If you look up “manic episode” in the DSM V, there’s a copy of this post. :lol:

Is the point that because exoplanets exist, they must have been created by deceased Mormons?

And that, therefore, all exoplanets are not quite 200 years old?

Tell us more about what you believe, Hound.

Some people live as if the gap between possibility and probability doesn’t exist—so long as it supports their own beliefs.

Is your image from a parallel universe that has been created by deceased Mormons? I don’t recognize the profile pic.

It is true that the universe is very large. It quite likely that there is life on other planets out there somewhere. Those planets are very far away and science has not shown a way to get there without taking a very long time.
