Well, as much as I really want to be a hero to a numbnut, Liz has come to your rescue.
It's true - no matter how ugly a person they are, nobody deserves to have to sit and manually copy out that much text...! :)
...although I guess it does take you at least one level up from a copy and paste king. I'm proud of you...!

Yeah - that's exactly what I've done. I left the church for s**** and giggles.
All blessing that are promised by God in regards to salvation and exaltation come as principles with a promise.
Yes - and I'm breaking those promises. So I deserve to die - correct?
...maybe not - because I have the option of repentance
still available to me in the future, even if I don't want to repent NOW. (Or maybe it's because killing somebody over a religious difference is - ermm - insane...? Hmmm) This is according to your own damn theology. Practically every Mormon in the world will agree with me on this point - and if you disagree, you are just making it up as you go along.
On the contrary, they are cursed and damned by their own breaking of the oaths they have taken.
Indeed they are cursed and damned -
unless they repent. And the fact that it is possible for them to repent means that the 'blood atonement' nonsense has nothing to do with them.
Let me repeat that:
"If a person has the option to repent in the future (which by your own admission at the beginning of this thread they DO have), then 'blood atonement' doesn't count for them."
Kindly tell me which part of the above statement didn't work it's way through your fairly fascinating thought processes...
