Mormon
December 17, 2009
i have been hearing a lot of bad things about my religion. Just because im mormon doesnt mean im not human. it just means i have a diffrent view on religous matters. also fyi we dont drink,smoke,or do anything like that because we choose not to not because we have to.

Corinthians, they never said that they are God, and besides, who then was Jesus? Virgin birth or not, he was in human form. The rest of your statement is very incoherrent...
I don't currently have a religion, but you guys have made me admire Mormonism (at least how you present it). Keep up the awesome attitude!

i want to learn about mormon stuff. im baptist. ive never heard anything bad about them cuz i have christian friends probably but all i know is they belive in virginity and modesty and they are really godly people. but i have those same principles so.... i will research it
about the original comment- thats the point. no one (man) can become perfect on this earth. i guess there's no point arguing it because we are on this earth and we wont know until later. :) about the bible and the book of mormon... that's ure opinion and i respect that. (im mormon)
i think that u guys are right- saying that only one religion is right is blindsided because that makes all other religions absolutely wrong. i do think that all religions have some truth in them because we all basically say the same thing (speaking of Christians in general) that Jesus Christ lives. I think that the LDS church has the whole truth-but one could say that about any church. it's just a matter of knowing or feeling deep within you which church is right. plus arguing about it pretty much contradicts the whole Christian thing.
Basically we are Christians. We just believe that the church founded by Jesus Christ in biblical times lost a lot of the truths it had before and fell away. We believe that the gospel of Christ was restored by God through Joseph Smith and that he received a book that contained the truths that were lost and more. It was written by the ancient people of America and contains the gospel in all its purity. It is the Book of Mormon (thus the nickname).

Thank you. I love being Mormon, it makes me so happy and I just wish people respected the things that I. and many others, believe in. I wish people had the patients to listen to us, and what we have to say instead of asking a question and then going ahead and laughing at my face for what I believe in. I'm not saying you have to belive what I do, but I just wish people would be willing to listen to. I love being LDS. I love it.

I am mormon and we dont believe that we can become god. yes we ask to beforgiven of our sins but that doesnt make us a god. plus, we believie in the bible kjv like most churches do we just believe in other things as well like the book of mormon.

Saying that one religion is right is like saying everything falls in only one direction.

Arguing about religion is pointless. Saying that only one religion is right is just like saying only blond people are right. (Hitler reference)

I agree. I am not a Mormon, I am a Wiccan, but one of my best friends is Mormon and I hate it when people judge Mormons because my Mormon friend is one of the nicest people I know and he NEVER judges other religions.

I agree with what you're saying, but this seems like the sort of thing that in this current form would be better as a post in the forum. If you wanted to expand and explain your religion even more you could develop that into a better article.

he bible and the book of mormon do coincide. the book of mormo is just a continuation on the bible.the whole truth is there with the bible and book of mormon.

I disagree with you on prinicple (because I'm Mormon), but I just wanted to say thank you for disagreeing in a civil manner. Most people don't.
