Ex-LDS What one issue....

[_Polygamy Porter]

For me the most bothersome thing is probably Joseph Smith's marriages to young teens.

I could probably overlook that if they would just decide that cannabis is an acceptable "wholesome herb".

What if god smoked cannabis?

The thing that got the ball rolling was reading the Book of Mormon one day and suddenly realizing that what I was reading was an obvious plagiarism from one of Paul's epistles. It was as clear as anything, and I found a lot more just looking in the Book of Mormon index. I knew I wasn't dealing with an ancient record. I managed to believe in it as "inspired fiction" for 7 more years, but that was the beginning of the end for me.

The fact that scripture/religious teachings were not in harmony with the very essence of our universe. In other words, the universe (life) does not work in the way scripture/prophets/LDS doctrine suggest it does. Religious teachings are at odd with nature and the cosmos.

Mmmmm...the little peach-colored pill. Just don't mix with vodka.
The big issue for me that got the ball rolling was the DNA controversy.
