    I find great hope in my personal belief that God does indeed work through flawed people (some very flawed). I find the find the deification of religious leaders silly.
    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.

    Woot

    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 he grasped the humor I intended. Your comment has me thinking I missed out on a better opportunity for laughs.

So I live a principled and moral life (which I believe I do and in many cases more than some card-carrying members) and I feel better about life and I don't have addictions to substances, and other vices. By extension I therefore have to believe that only baptized Mormons are going to the celestial kingdom and I must also believe in temple ceremonies and that JS restored polygamy, etc etc.
          Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead can't be admitted into the CK? why are they then baptized for the dead?

          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.
            So many Ps! (as long as we were talking about polygamy I wanted to pay homage to one of the best LDS message board posts ever).

              That post deserves its own holiday. I can’t hear the name Parley P. Pratt without whispering in my mind “so many Ps”!

                    How about 20th century?... Have you seen that wonder woman movie?



                    Those liberals are into all kinds of kinky stuff... including polygamous relationships. God bless them. Maybe JS Jr was a democrat.

                        I'll hold.
                        I beg to differ. I think your reaction says you are my bitch. In fact, I don't know who the El Jefe of CS is, but I petition to him or her to have the_tick's board name changed to "Bean's Bitch".

                        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.

                            It's like you didn't even try.

                            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.
