The most moral and charitable people that I know are atheists. My theory is that they are more moral and more charitable than Mormons because they are not sat wringing their hands hoping some deity will intervene and help people on their behalf.
They just get on and do it themselves.

Well most people would know I'm being sarcastic, but I've been on the Net over 10 years to know it's a common viewpoint. Just take a look at thew's comment, he knows I'm an atheist so where does his negative emotion come from..if not something to do with me being atheist? Maybe not,but I think it probably does.
"in my experience, internet atheists are terrible immoral people"
To slur atheists you have never met based on your limited internet connections and your own personality seems a tad harsh.

Absolutely not! That would class as not respecting his Priesthood authority and as this is a Mormon based board you would have to be disfellowshipped as a minimum.

I spent 23 years of my life wondering whether or not God would accept me. Most of this time, I assumed I wasn't ready to meet him. This might sound dramatic but it was just part of my life. My sins were like an appendage. When I spoke to the bishops, I always left feeling like I could have said more but didn't. I always felt there was more to dig out of my stinky closet. Over time, I grew accustomed to this feeling. It's like living with a sliver under your skin.
Then, just this morning while taking a shower, it dawned on me in a flash thought like a bolt of lightning. There is no God planning to show the Quark movie! I started laughing outloud. In my laughter, I covered my face with my hands. Soon, my laughter turned to sobbing. I cried it all out and then I was free. In 23 years I have never experienced anything like it. Everything was gone. I watched in run down the drain. It was my past and it has finally left me.
Praise the Lord.
Amen.
Oh, and I attended a non-Mormon church with my family today. We had a fine time.
Sounds pretty personal and somewhat poignant. Interesting experience and very interesting on the timing aspect of it. Most of my most wondrous moments come when I'm nude too.
Love ya tons, Stem
I ain't nuttin'. don't get all worked up on account of me.
