Can you describe something, anything, that is not faith promoting?
Well many things in this world aren't faith promoting. I suppose I can describe my caboos to you, but no one wants to read about it, save for a few. As my posts in this thread indicate I don't see how the Hoffman forgeries are faith promoting. Does that help ya? I guess being a little silly around here doesn't sit well.
Love ya tons, Stem
I ain't nuttin'. don't get all worked up on account of me.

Be silly if you want. Ill stop asking questions if you don't want to take this seriously. If not, I'd be interested in something you think is not faith promoting. Seems to me, that based on your responses, anything is faith promoting, even your caboose, since we are supposed to be created in His image.
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."

How the garbage would anyone know that?
Wouldn't it be a pretty big story? Anything faith-promoting (fictional or non-fictional) is latched onto pretty quickly by the LDS community and passed around in sac meetings. Wouldn't it be refreshing for once to catch those pedophiles BEFORE the bishop calls them to a position in primary or Boy Scouts?

Well I answered your question already, Fence Sitter. Here it comes again in bolded caps: THIS WHOLE HOFFMAN AFFAIR IS IN NO WAY FAITH PROMOTING AS FAR AS I CAN TELL. Indeed it seems to be the exactly opposite.
As for the silliness I offered, yep, i try to lighten the mood sometimes, even though I can see I'm often unsuccessful at doing so.
Love ya tons, Stem

I admit this made me LOL. So it must be working a bit.

Interesting choice of words - does anyone who believes in spiritual gifts like discernment have their head in the clouds?
