Mormons lol

Mormons should be ashamed of themselves for worshiping the spirit orbs of Klolub.

Wait, am I still high from last night?

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:


* The LDS scriptures don't say Kolob is a planet, they say it is a star.
*

Yes but it seems unlikely that they distinguished a difference between a planet and a star.

Even if I didn't I wouldn't be. If a person is ashamed of their beliefs then perhaps it is time to change their beliefs.

Why hasn't this thread been deleted?

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.

Mormons are no different or no more unreasonable than any other religion following people. Are satanists, muslims, sikhs, pagans, jehovists, or catholics any different? They all believe in ideology created by some men. Nothing to discuss here - lets move on.

FIXED!

Yes but it seems unlikely that they distinguished a difference between a planet and a star.

Abraham chapter 3, which is where the Kolob reference is, does in fact distinguish between planets and stars. See for example v. 17:

17 Now, if there be two things, one above the other, and the moon be above the earth, then it may be that a planet or a star may exist above it...
https://www.lds.org/scriptures/pgp/abr/3?lang=eng

By my count the chapter uses the word "planet" 5 times and the word "star" 7 times.

lol so you think judaism is more reasonable than mormonism?

Well okay. They know the word "star". I'm not criticizing Mormonism or anything, but aren't some of you being a little disingenuous with your responses, claiming you don't know what the picture is talking about?

I'm not a Mormon, so correct me if I'm wrong but:
"Spirit orbs" obviously referring to the "first estate" or, our existence as spirit children or spirit people, whatever we want to call them. Souls even. The "first estate," is like the pre-life part of our lives. Our life here in the mortal realm is the second estate.

Back when we were in the first estate, we lived on Kolob with God. Our spirit bodies were stuffed into our human bodies, but in the process, all memory of the previous spirit life was lost, because our human bodies don't have enough space or something. Kolob, as far as I understand, is where god lives with his wives and spirit children who haven't been stuffed into physical bodies yet.

Again, I'm not criticizing, and I hope Mormons will correct my misunderstandings of their beliefs, but that's what the picture is clearly referring to.
