American Idol for Gods

Post by _amantha »

The Plan of Salvation as put forth by Mormonism is essentially a eugenics program. It doesn't seem to have much to do with love. It's like natural selection taken to the Nth degree. It's a competition where faith in the supernatural is the ideal and selected trait.

It's American Idol - the Kolob edition. We all line up before Elohim (Simon), Jehovah (Paula),the Holy Ghost (Randy) and Joseph Smith ( as Ryan Seacrest) and audition to get on the stage called Earth. In the end, an infinitesimally small group of people will get contracts to be worshipped as Idols in the eternities.

Its not about god loving his children, its about god looking for the select few who've got the goods, who can perform. In reality the god of Mormonism is not looking to love his children, he is looking to further build his elite super-race.

Sound familiar?

Out of all the "authorized" (dunked, endowed, sealed and endured) people of God, how many will cut the mustard as a percentage of all the people who have and will ever live when the, ostensible, judgment is performed--an extremely small percentage to be sure.

Mormonism is not "the plan of happiness." It is the plan of a callous eugenicist.

The "Plan" is really just a pretense. God knows who will end up where. There is no need for a "test".

The church has always (as far as I know), taught there are a few chosen, special spirits who will return to inherit the CKHL.

Nothing about good, kind, loving people... just the ones God wants back.

The plan has nothing to do with goodness or love... I mean seriously we are talking about a God/man who cast out 1/3 of His spirit children right off the bat. The rest, well, with the exception of the chosen few, will end up without their families, without loved ones, without God.

Nope, not a plan of love.

19 views and not a single response. This is so wacky even the lunatic fringe of this board is staying well away from it.

Your knowledge of LDS doctrine is absolute zero, below even Harmony's half baked cocktails.

Your a histrionic bigot. What's to spin?

Yeah. Not even you responded.

Is ad hominem all you have in the face of the obvious truth? I make a bold claim, yes, but please address the OP, not me.

I could, quite literally, teach a fruit monkey more about the Gospel in five minuets then you've learned in your entire adult life time. How long, really, will such illimitable vacuousness continue?

Is it that you are really a pathological liar, like some others here, or is it the dark, Stygian hostility you feel toward the things of God that drives you to such incoherence?

I'd normally say, "keep up the pose" after a mind bending interlude such as this, but I don't think you're even aware of what your doing anymore.

This is the main reason I left Mormonism. All of the historical inconsistencies came later. I just couldn't understand the claim Mormonism was making, that god loved me. Not a plan love indeed.

There's nothing to address Amantha. You're claims about what you term 'the plan of salvation" is no more worth responding to than Jeremiah Wright's claims that the United States government created AIDS to exterminate Black people, or that Jesus was a poor black man tormented by rich white Italians.

See you in the saucer...
