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.
Hmmm...I could never be a Mormon.
In that respect you belong to a minority of 99.93% of the world's current population who likewise haven't accepted the truth...

Every record...falsified, every book rewritten...every statue...has been renamed or torn down, every date...altered...the process is continuing...minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Ideology is always right.

Jersey Girl, I hope you weren't serious asking this question, because if you were, it is the dumbest question I've ever seen you ask.
If a child comes to you afraid of the monster he imagines in his closet, do you turn him away and say, "there's no point talking about this. Go to bed!" simply because you know it doesn't exist?
But I'm going to assume you weren't serious. There's comfort in believing what we want to, isn't there?
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

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.
That's awesome, quark. Sounds like one of those big-time life epiphanies. Almost better than orgasm... almost.
Congratulations, man.
