What does everyone think about the Mormons?  I realize that people might not want to get messed up in religion and if they don't then just stay away from this thread.  You shouldn't waste your posts bashing it.  Post your opinions about Mormons here.

Being Mormon, I must say we're pretty darn normal. And let me get things straight.

1) We do get special undergarments once we hit a certain age and such, but it is in no way magic.

2) No, we don't marry multiple women.

3) Yes, we do ride around on bikes in white shirts and try to convert people. But don't throw eggs at the missionaries. D:
No! I don't want that!

They're alright, but I like being Catholic.

"Basically...out of all the ridiculous religion stories—which are greatly, wonderfully ridiculous—the silliest one I've ever heard is...yeah...there's this big giant universe and it's expanding, it's all gonna collapse on itself and we're all just here 'just 'cause...just 'cause. That, to me, is the most ridiculous explanation ever." -Trey Parker

As difficult as it is to believe Religion, with it's fairy tale-like stories and stuff, I find it extremely hard to believe that everything acts on it's own just...just because, without Anyone or Anything that existed before time itself to set it in motion. It's like the Law of Gravity, we're not sure why it does what it does, or why it's even here in the first place, so the only thing we can come up with is "It just does," or "It just is."

BTW, the guy who came up with the Big Bang Theory was a Roman Catholic priest. Here he is. What I really hate is when people tell me I can't love both Science and Religion, since the guy that came up with the scientific theory to our existence was a man of God.

Okay, I'm basing everything on what I gathered from that South Park episode, so bare with me if I'm wrong, But doesn't it say that whites existed in north america first and American Indians were sinners that were punished with dark skin?

« Reply #41 on: November 22, 2007, 06:50:42 PM »
Yes.  Well, initially, all white people came to the America's and the sinners got dark skins.  But the dark skins (known as the Lamanites) went on a genocide and killed the white skins (known as the Nephites) and, no, black people are still not sinners now their skin color is just a trait now and not a mark of evil.  This would explain why there were no white people in the America's.

The Bible and the Book of Mormon share nothing alike. They are two totally different things. The Bible never speaks about white skins and black skins fighting each other, and it never talks about Jesus coming to America. Ever. History never even said that Jesus came to America. According to history, he was a man who lived and preached in Eurasia from 4 B.C. to 29 A.D. when he was crucified.

I get that from a lot of kids at school.  Just for clarification: BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT EVIL!.  The dark skin was used to single them out from the non-sinners.  Now it is just seen as a trait and in no way are all black people sinners.  It's like if Hitler had a descendent.  It wouldn't make the descendent evil, it just makes them the descendent of someone who didn't make some good choices.

And that theory is about as good as a week-old chicken salad sandwich.

That makes no sense at all. People have dark skin becuase it was practical. They needed to protect themselves from the hot sun, so genetics took over. The light-skinned people need more vitamin E, so their genes took over and gave them lighter skin so that they can absorb more sunlight.

My friend, that is where you are wrong. I happen to be a Philosophy major.

I would not put my trust in any Religion that has no logic behind it. Philosophy and religion need to coincide. For thousands of years people have been trying to piece together some "Ultimate Reality" that can help us understand our world.

Why would you believe in something that makes no philosophical sense? Putting your faith in some religion with no background like believing that the color purple makes a "moo" sound.

The Mummy's curse.

Stereotyping a broad group of people as racist has got to be the stupidest thing ever. That's still prejudice any way you slice it. In fact, I'm tired of people defining prejudice as simply "hating black people". It annoys me to no end when I overhear people calling someone racist for some misconcieved comment, then going on to insult mentally challenged people, or Asian people, or even white people.

Now I guess I'll add a new layer to the discussion. I'm an atheist, so I generally don't agree with most viewpoints in any religion. I think that as long as you're a good person who holds no negative opinions of entire groups of people based on what someone else said, then you can believe whatever. If heaven or nirvana or valhalla is an incentive to do good, then so be it.

I made that statement in response to Presidente, who argued the opposite. And besides, whether they're identical or not, the whole point is that there's no logic behind anything in religious texts (excluiding moral guidelines, which are normally spot-on). That's why they call it "faith".

Definition of Faith:

1 a: allegiance to duty or a person : loyalty b (1): fidelity to one's promises (2): sincerity of intentions2 a (1): belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2): belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b (1): firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2): complete trust3: something that is believed especially with strong conviction; especially : a system of religious beliefs <the Protestant faith>

I'm not implicating anything by giving out the dictionary definitions, other than Brainwashing does not mean believing in something for which there is no proof/logic. I can logically say, however, that I was not brainwashed into Christianity. It is a choice that I made alone, and nothing anyone can say will serve to alter that choice. So even if someone says "You are brainwashed because you believe in something that can't be proven," I can say to them "I was not brainwashed, this is my choice and my choice alone."

If you're the same religion as your parents, you're pretty much a brainwash victim.

Not saying it's necessarily a bad thing, but being drug repeatedly to church/wherever repeatedly at a young age before your brain is good at thinking at all is a perfect brainwash situation.

Brainwashing is teaching that you didn't sign up for.

"a forcible indoctrination to induce someone to give up basic political, social, or religious beliefs and attitudes and to accept contrasting regimented ideas" -- Exactly what's happening, except you don't have any of the basic beliefs when you're born so that part of the def. doesn't apply.

"persuasion by propaganda or salesmanship" -- The entire job of pastors/rabbis/ministers/missionaries.

Even if it is brainwashing, I really don't mind, since I actually have more trust in Jesus than all the logic in the world.

I do not, however, find it necessary to go to church or follow the church's way of teaching. In my opinion, the church is made by man and man alone and should not reflect the opinions and beliefs of the people who attend. Because the church was made by man, it has a tendency to become corrupt.

I take it there are no black Mormons? Tell you what... you spiel that "black because of their ancestors' sins" line to the NAACP crowd and see how things go.

Duh, that's how brainwashing works.

I chose to be a Christian. Despite all the education and logic in the world, I still kept true to my faith. Does that make it brainwashing?

Religious Discussion doesn't really mix work well with the Internet. Now we're just typing in caps and telling eachother that we're wrong. Can this board disappear?

Please?
No! I don't want that!

Well, there's always the prospect of "self-brainwashing"...

Self-Brainwashing? Why is it brainwashing at all if I choose to be a Christian? So it's not brainwashing if I believe there isn't a God, but it is if I do?

This gives me bad memories of the older religion topics back in the day... except none of these posts are really intelligent like the posts of the older topics were.

No there are a ton of black Mormons.  I know a few of them myself and Africa is infested with them.  When they heard about our church they practically begged the government to let them practice it.  Not to mention all of the Mormons in South America and Asia.

I actually agree with you.

I wouldn't have a problem with them if their ideals hadn't hijacked the BSA.  I can't imagine scouting can be very fun as you move towards the middle of the country.
