Question for Mormons

This thread used to be enjoyable. At this point I hope it get buried.

Agree to an extent. If you want to talk to other people for good or bad than fine. But ultimately talking to the source is where you will find your truth.

So you don't know Jesus unless you talk to Jesus.

Revealing.

Clearly.

Clearly.

According to Conan, to know the truth on something, gotta talk to the source.

It's comforting to know there is such a thing as unimpeachable truth. It's also comforting to know this comes from an identifiable source.

Sheeeet, it is too bad that in order to convince myself of this, I also have to be convinced of ERROR and that people are, by their very natures, obfuscating the truth (that is sinning).

Naw, but fo realz... these are fun games! Let's argue about who is universal and correct!!!!!!!!!! Happy Fourth ****as!!!!!!!! Hesus Christo!!!

^ if you want to know how right I am about this stuff, then just ask me.

I'd say prayer is a big part of anyone's faith. Well said.

So what'd he tell you was the truth? Was it exactly what you'd been told by your religious leaders? How long was the conversation?

Wow. Didn't even notice. Funny thing is, I erased a section pertaining to not assuming gender because I forget I mentioned Jesus and not the supreme being, which I guess are different but the same. Pretty sure Jesus was male, but I'm not sure the supreme being could be male or female. However, I guess the reason I don't know is because I haven't asked him/her/it.

 

[NAOS]

supreme being

I'd still roflcopter if you posited this as a single entity.

But, go ahead CONAN, snap us back into place with a dogmatic/orthodox statement. What are we if not in need of phrases that make us obey -- phrases that pretend to have universal applicability?

Arguing over religion never gets anyone anywhere except mad or dead.

To be fair, not really arguing over religion at this point. Thread is turning into how much a moran/idiot/nutcase Conan is, and I'm constantly refreshing hoping for another one of his posts in this thread so that I may laugh.

I'll be a little easier on CONAN:
He's merely displaying the dangers of parsimony and common sense. Both wielded by all to varying degrees. He sees no reason to distrust either.

My dad has been Bishop twice. The first time he was released right before I turned fourteen. I don't have any memories of him not being around for things. He still managed to coach us in baseball and he ate dinner with us EVERY night. I have no doubt that required an even bigger sacrifice on hid part as he would have to do his Bishop stuff after everything else. I think what changed the most is that we probably didn't get to go camping as often. The second time was after I got married, so I have no real knowledge of it.

I want to make a comment about him playing poker with us but can't gather anything meaningful. I find it interesting considering the game, crowd, and what I would consider a typical bishop.

Wow. So many questions.

1. Yes (even though it's not always what I want to hear).
2. Depends on the context.
3. Depends on the context.
