There's no use for me to proselyte on a message board but are you campaigning to legislate how people should approach spirituality, peace, happiness and identity? On the surface it seems as if you're bashing a group of people for following someone with a specific belief-set, and are clamoring for them to follow your beliefs simultaneously. That seems inconsistent.

Yep
Just wanted to ask why people follow 'mormonism' and why they listen to the words of some guy called joseph smith who was clearly a giant fraud and most likely suffered from mental illness
I mean all religions are a joke of course, but mormonism is just beyond hilarious because its so relatively new and just rehashes the same crap and stupid illogical ideas from the thousands of religions before it
Wrong. In a normal world at that time in history he would have been shunned, and chased by angry mobs out of every town he settled in.
Oh wait, that actually happened until he was shot.
lol, in a normal world he would have been sent straight to the psych ward

Wow. Even if you vehemently, passionately disagree with someone's belief system, bashing a group or an individual like that and calling their strongly held convictions "hilarious", "crap" or fraudulent is pretty uncivilized. Ironic thing is, most of these attacks (on any religion, not just LDS) happen to come from people who would describe themselves as tolerant.
Can't we all just get along?

Some of those guys are megalomaniacs and have mastered the smoke and mirrors of rhetoric straight in line from the classical tradition stemming from Demosthenes and Isocrates, e.g., Christopher Hitchens. He has become the deity to folks like Yell42, who think their form of thinking is so blatantly obviously correct that the rest of the world is laughable at best. Some of the others have a much more nuanced understanding of the divine. The truth of the matter is that the human condition is fraught with uncertainty and constant flux of reality and self understanding. Religion is a dynamic aspect of this human condition, and an attempt to even define what religion is requires rooms of scholars ranging from the vehemently dogmatic to the bordering on enlightened. Where does one draw the line of religious/spiritual and not? What is magic, and what is not? You obviously have come to juxtapose yourself with respect to religion via the scientific process or your self imposed personal power garnered through your identity as someone who knows what other less enlightened folks do not know, sees what what other less enlightened folks do not see, and acts in a way that other less enlightened folks could not. In short, you derive your personal power, and obviously flaunt it, more or less in the precise way in which adherents to ancient mystery cult would do. Nuance and flux is something young people never want to admit, because they know it all already, and something that scientists try hard to cover up or spend a lifetime researching and something that the intelligentsia exerts its creative prowess to explain. Glad to see you've got it all figured out, though.

This thread doesn't deserve to make it to the 3rd page.
So Dalabro... what flavor do Dilly Bar's come in up in Canada? Maple? Beer?
If you're going to attack someone's religion, at least make it an intelligent attack. There are just so many things wrong with this. I spotted five items right away:
* Many Mormons (myself included) believe that God used evolution to create people.
* The phrase "spirit orbs" has no meaning in Mormonism. I'm not even sure what it's referring to.
* The LDS scriptures don't say Kolob is a planet, they say it is a star.
* The LDS scriptures don't say that God lives on Kolob, only that it is the star that (in some sense that isn't explained) is closest to where God lives.
* Kolob is mis-spelled.
