Another religious topic......

[Hearsky]

How do you feel about being American knowing that slavery and racism is in your past as an American?

Why does it matter to you if it's not your view? I guess I just don't get some people. I am a convert to the LDS church and believe it saved my life and has made me a better person. Do I get every decision and view, no, but then again you can view any religion in a negative matter.

I guess not growing up with any faith in my life, being bi-racial, I just view things differently.

I could care less what others believe in, the color of their skin, or where they stand politically. If you are a good person that is all that matters to me. We all screw up and there are bad people in all areas.

Sorry but this type of post or conversation just bugs me. If you disagree then that's your opinion and just have it be that.

I'm with you Cope. We should never, ever question a thing. Questions just get in the way of living. We should all bury our collective heads in the sand. Come on, I'll get the shovel. Everybody follow me (no theological pun intended).

I read recently that Pres. MacKay previously said that the priesthood ban was policy, not doctrine, and that the church would be changed at some point.

... I imagine his personal feelings had a lot to do with it.

I have similar feelings about certain aspects of the WofW.

Now you've got my curiosity going. I'm truly interested in hearing this. And not in a malicious way.

Do you believe in the Bible?

Yes, I can google it.

... i was curious to what people thought about it.

In 50 years (or less), the LDS church will likely accept homosexual marriages as being the same as heterosexual. Why not ask about that?

I've posted about this before. I won't bore you with another rambling soapbox, but we probably agree quite a bit.

What is the WofW?

What is the WofW?

I have narrowed it down to one of two things:

1. Word of Wisdom
2. World of Warcraft

What is the WofW?

World of Warcraft

 

[Gameface]

Ok, so what are the Words or Wisdom?

Kind of like a health code and the "blessings" associated with it.
