I need to ask a weird question. Can you have spiritual sex with your other wives if you happen to be sealed to more than one? I wonder how the bishop would react to that in an interview...

Is that like phone sex?
Actually, one woman I know had her exhusband try to manipulate her into sex by him telling her that in the eyes of god she was still his and that it wouldn't be wrong for them have sex.
What does god care of human laws, right? His are higher, or something.

Some people take that to mean, it seems, there is history that is problematic, but it doesn't matter because ultimately we don't really "know" what took place so why be so heavily bothered by it all? There must be other reason or evidence to indicate whether a religious position is true or not. That's kinda why, it seems, people suggest they can't put their faith in history.
Other than that, I cna't help ya. It appears religious people, faithful LDS in particular, just see things differently on this basic premise.
So why give fealty and allegiance to something you don't know about? Your essentially saying that you base your decision to believe only on what you consider the positive, ignoring the negative.
