baptism for the dead. sounds like everyone thinks thats weird. really, no harm in it. if you were dead, floating around eternal darkness( our version of hell) wouldn’t wanna be helped out. and if its not true, at least they could say they tried.

honestly, i think this guy needs to do more research, a couple of things on the list are false. All sins are forgivable. it IS a chritian religion( Christian means follows god and his teaching). I know some people won’t agree with the Mormom religion or LDS but that doesnt mean you should hammer on it like this. all religion should be given at least a chance. And there’s little things about catholics and christians that people dont seem to mind, because it gives them convience. I problably sound like a douche but trust me guys, its a pretty cool religion. besides, who were the first people to act on hurricane katrina.

I am Christian and I would like to say the Mormonism is NOT Christianity. Many of the Mormon beliefs completely contradict the teachings of Christianity. ALL sins are forgivable, that is the beauty of Christ. Mormonism teaches that they are the new church because the old one “fell away”. Well of course we all “fell away”. In the Bible it says that the only person to ever be perfect is Jesus. Nothing anyone can ever do can make them perfect or good enough in God’s eyes. So of course the Christian church has it’s faults. That is because everyone does. Even I do. The only values that Mormonism and Christianity share are the values of treating everyone well. Not even close to the deeper fundamental values that Christianity holds to.

Every religion looks strange to outsiders.

The important thing is values, not theology, when it comes judging those you wish to associate with or represent you in the political realm.

I know many Evangelicals have problems with Mormon theology. But Mormons and Evangelicals have identical values. Since most Mormons and Evangelicals would classify themselves as either conservative or Republican, then why would either side have a problem with a president who belonged to either religion? It’s values, not theology, that matters when picking a president.

Every religion looks strange to outsiders.

A&W, About tithing, it is a great blessing I agree to pay tithing. Just in case someone is still wondering, we don’t have paid clergy or leaders, kinda makes paying tithing easy knowing its sole purpose is to build Zion, and not anyones personal bank account.

Ok, just a few things I want to comment on.

Mystern: I disagree 100% about your comment about mormons believing in polygamy after death. Our prophet, apostles, and teachers all say they are unsure about what happens with people who remarry.

I don’t remember who posted the comment, but it was one about people being raised in a mormon community and how we don’t know anything else other than what we were raised in. Yes, we were raised with it and it is what most of us believe in, but your statement is very closed minded. Didn’t you stop to think that perhaps you’re doing the same thing? You don’t know what its like to be a mormon, just as I don’t know what its like to be a non-mormon. You shouldn’t be so quick to judge us by saying we are a cult. We are a religion, who have our own “unique” beliefs, just like atholics, muslim baptists, etc.

For the confusion with tithing: Yes. Tithing is one of our commandments and we are SUPPOSED to pay a full tithe. Not everyone does and we are not FORCED to pay. It is a choice of whether or not we feel that we should. And what is wrong with giving 10% of what we get every month to show our thanks to our God? He has given us everything, and wants only a small amount in return. He uses the tithing we give him to help those in need, build temples,
churches, and do many other wonderful things.

Hope my comment helps and hope I don’t come out as being bias, although I probably am a little bit because, after all, I am a mormon

Ok, so here’s the thing. I’m LDS. For a long time I was Catholic and I never felt that the catholic church was right for me, respectively. First of all, the literature in the book of mormon is not dumb, it just takes some time to study the true meaning of it (like you would do in a literature class) There are a lot of misconceptions that i have read here. There are reasons for everything that LDS people do. Early in the church the converts to the church were called England’s rif raf, but Charles Dickons has written testimony that when he went to take a closer look at these people he found that they were good strong people and not rif raf of England. Maybe some of you should check out this site on the misconceptions, it made me laugh i hope it does the same for you Oh and if you want to semi-learn about the church in a humorous way, check out Mobsters and Mormons and other comedies by the same director on mormonism.

Well said Delness, and naughtygirl, which I agree is a strange name for your beliefs, all those things mentioned by tryingnottogetexcomd are indeed believed.
