One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

Whatever it is, I might need to hit the history books again. A diving rod is a new one for me."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Even those who choose not to be baptized into the Church will be admitted if Christ judges them worthy. Only he can judge. Will you condemn them otherwise?

I love being Mormon, but I condemn polygamy, polyandry, and most especially pedophilia. Until I have to support the three Ps to retain church privileges, I like where I'm at.

Those liberals are into all kinds of kinky stuff... including polygamous relationships. God bless them. Maybe JS Jr was a democrat."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

I'll hold.
Thank you [emoji6]
By the way, I did some research and found basically nobody other than our own where relatively old men married 14 year olds AND they were polygamous marriages AND some of them were polyandrous so it seems to me we pretty much have that freaky weird market cornered.Last edited by Mr Bean; 02-10-2018, 08:51 PM.

The women would cook on a traditional Afghan bukhar (open stove); the three nursing mothers were to have the best pickings. Osama’s 14-year-old daughter Khadija had recently given birth. Two years earlier, she had been married in a double wedding with her 12-year-old half-sister Fatima. Their husbands, two Saudi brothers in their 30s who both had wives and children already, were mujahideen fighters.You're actually pretty funny when you aren't being a complete a-hole....so basically like 5% of the time. --Art Vandelay
