A very 'nice' speech, but unfortunately wrong. It is unfortunate that you were on the right track, but fell into the trap of religion because all of us have an inherent need for a sense of belonging. Why does our society usually make it a prerequisite to belong to either a religion or a criminal organization to fulfill this need?
I don't feel that I could ever be part of your world, because you have labeled me an "outsider".
The problem with ALL Christian religions, is that they are all based on the Bible. The Bible has been proven over and over again, to be scientifically and historically inaccurate. Instead of Christians accepting these facts, they instead come up with some 'crazy' ideas, in order to perpetuate this Myth. What about the so-called 'good' teachings in the Bible? If you really read it, it says that women should be second-class subordinates, we should have slavery and we should be perpetually subjugated by monarchs.
The "truth" that you speak of, is unfortunately not true. The creatures that you "worship" are very upset with you. They regard prayer as an insult. It is not only an insult to them, but it is also an insult to yourself. They recommend quiet reflection at an appropriate time and place. They frown on ritualistic behaviour.
This Earth is in trouble. We are heading headlong on a path towards Global Extinction. Our main problem is overpopulation. Your chuch is still advocating that we should continue to breed uncontrollably. Further, the church itself is a waste of resources and time. We have some very serious problems to solve. What has your church done to help solve these?
I'm not going to sit here and disagree with you, I beleve everything you say and I have been on that side of the fence. I understand the need for belonging, I really do, but if that was my problem I'd have found something long before I set foot in a church. I'm not going to sit here and say that the bible is word for word true, but there is a truth that every religion has to offer, and I find the the practice of the Mormon church best suits what I find to be an ideal lifestyle. I was raised in a conservative household, and I could have chosen any other church, I have been to many others, but this church most closely suits my ideal of what a church should be.
I guess I could say that I grew a fascination with spirituality around the time that I "discovered" the Mormon church and it has proven to be the best venue.
Is it normal to be LDS (Mormon)
