Ex-Mormons Laughed. Now They're Just Orbiting the Truth!

It is true that the universe is ery large. It quite likely that there is life on other planets out there somewhere. Those planets are very far away and science has not shown a way to get there without taking very long time.

That is the beautiful part of it all. Is there life on other planets? Very likely. Do they have college football? Unlikely. Will we ever have the answer? No.

So in the meantime, we have wars, crusades and idiot moderators on micro-forums to declare what the correct and acceptable answers are to unanswerable questions.

Hound man. Don't be so stingy with your talent. I think wanger could really go places as a professional memer. Take a minute and help him exploit his talents.

You were talking about planets in your opening post, yes?

Which ones do you believe are created by deceased Mormons, and how old are those planets?

As we uncover more information about the universe and beyond, the teachings of the afterlife in Mormonism are increasingly resonating.

Huh? Wait, the more we peer into the mind-boggling void of space, the more the Mormon afterlife seems like a solid, peer-reviewed theory? I must have missed the memo where the James Webb Telescope found Kolob or Quakers on the moon.

The universe truly makes sense when viewed through the Mormon lens:

Horndogger,

Wait, hold the celestial phone. Are your previous iron-clad declarations of Mormonism's falsehood now trending toward maybe? Why the sudden change? It appears the only ex-Mormon making a lonely planetary rotation around Uranus is you. This whole situation is starting to feel less like a serious OP and more like one of your classic stories, and likely to involve a car trip across the Pacific Ocean to the heretofore unnamed Pacific Island in the 1970's.

In case you forgot about your feelings on Mormonism, here's just one example to refresh your memory:

But again, if you are right, and these folks honestly see...as you do...the LDS Church as a cult, then I suppose that may be what motivates them day after day after day to do what they do.

If not the money.

But no one here is making money off of all their postings and church/member bashing. So I wonder WHY??

Regards,
MG

Hello MG. From the beginning, I acknowledge that there is nothing I can express that will convince you to entertain the idea that the claims of the Mormon church are untrue. However, I kindly request that you try to comprehend the uniqueness of the Mormon Church, as its official name explicitly states that we are living in the latter days of human existence as it has been known for thousands of years.

The LDS religion appears to be like an hourglass, gradually losing sand and ultimately facing a deadline to demonstrate that it is the sole true and living religious organization on earth. Even though I am already aware of your likely response, I would like to pose this question, how many generations must pass before the LDS assertion that we are living in the latter days is no longer accepted by its members? Are we now 8 to 9 generations since the restoration of the LDS church in 1830? Do you think that every LDS generation since 1830 has held the belief that theirs would be the generation to bring about the second coming of Christ?

My LDS grandfather, MG, was born in 1896, and he held the belief throughout his life that his generation would witness the return of Christ to earth. My mother and father, until the day they passed away, held the conviction that they belonged to the generation destined to herald the return of Christ to earth. Individuals from my generation hold the belief that they are the ones destined to bring about the return of Christ to earth, and the children born into the LDS faith within my generation share the conviction that they are the generation tasked with ushering in this significant event. How many years or generations beyond the 2nd millennium will it be acceptable for LDS youth to question the validity of Joseph Smith's claims regarding the LDS church as the organization intended to establish numerous temples on earth for Christ to rule from during the second coming?

Have you ever thought about how the church, by accumulating significant wealth and assets, is positioning itself to become the leading church of the future? They seem to be indicating that they expect to endure for centuries beyond the millennium. In doing so, they demonstrate that the claims made by the church are entirely unfounded. If the church's assertions were true, they would not treat it as a business. Instead, they would act on faith, allocating tithing funds swiftly to assist the needy and less fortunate. By doing so, they would embody a life of faith, trusting that Heavenly Father will provide for the church in the coming year, enabling them to sustain their humanitarian efforts.

The Book of Hound may only be one page deep.

The companion reader may be no better.

Wanger. This is not your best meme. Your original content with a more interesting photo is better for what you are trying to do.

Hound of Heaven -

Mormonism is unique in its belief that after death, some individuals may have the chance to become gods and ultimately create their own worlds, populating them with spirit children.

Unique does not equal true... or even accurate.

Zeus and the other Greek gods may not stand for this. Or El, Enki and Enlil, and the other Sumerian gods.
