Why I am here?

I don't know. Really.
It makes no sense.

But... There were senseless thoughts which changed our world. For example flying around the flat Earth. Or to the Moon. Or out of our solar system.
Or deleting slavery.

Or live without religion, last but not least.

And there's me! Don't forget me! I'm certainly an LDS defender, and I'm certainly ignorant, on many subjects. Wow, Schreech, if I can't get you to give me my fair share of mocking, I just don't know what I'll do!

I'm here to pick up chicks. No luck so far.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

I can understand why someone would leave the LDS Church and become an atheist or an agnostic (or even perhaps a Hindu or Buddhist), but it really boggles my mind to hear about people who leave the LDS Church for Biblical Christianity. How can the LDS Church be not inspired by God but Biblical Christianity be inspired by God?

Actually, I should qualify that; Thews is Christian, and I don't have a major problem with what he believes. But I'm talking about that group of people who typically call themselves orthodox.

I may have already answered this in my blog, but I came here because my calling in the LDS Church is a ward missionary, and it looked to me like reading posts and making posts is a great way to get an interchange of ideas, that could lead to people understanding how some Latter-day Saints think.
