    Interesting question ... but it seems to me that you might be overlooking the contribution of Cortez and others to the downfall of the Mayans ,,,

    Does banning same-sex marriage violate freedom of religion?

    An interesting proposition, but it is possibly of no consequence until a "Gay Chruch" takes the battle to the courts .... It would be interesting to see what the "Supremes" would say ...

    Has anyone ever had a written conversation with themselves?

    Sounds like a fun exercise for the imagination and perhaps, in a meditative mode, an evolving process of introspection ...

    Writing your own?

    Food for further thought ... I wonder, what the value of thoughts held captive in one's head??? What's keeping you from beginning the process of giving birth to your fantasy series?

    LDS Only: Creation Account in Genesis

    First of all, I am ex-LDS and was married in the Temple. To those LDS that receive the temple endowments, what goes on in the temple is sacred and not open for discussion with those outside the temple. I said sacred, not secret and there is a huge difference. The only people I've heard openly...

    Writing your own?

    I wonder it it is even possible to write/create a myth??? Definition, from wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn "a traditional story accepted as history; serves to explain the world view of a people" How could a newly created story be accepted as history? Other definitions speak of a myth beinbg...

    Are believers culpable for overpopulation?

    I have encountered both in the LDS church and among many fundamentalist Christians, the idea that we are commanded to reproduce and that God will some how provide for the needs of large families ... that would imply that overpopulation would not be a problem. obviously, there's something wrong...

    We don't execute rapists but why not remove ...

    Seems like a simple solution - an ey for an eye sort of thing. But, rape is more complex that just sex ... it is about control, power, dominance ... and the violation is frequently more than the "use" of the part you would have cut off. Hey! Its a head game ... if you want to cut off the...

    How did people see before the eye was fully evolved?

    Interesting question ... they probably "saw" like all those creatures that live in the dark caverns deep underground, or perhaps like those in the depts of the oceans where ther is no discernable light ...

    Would Aliens go to heaven?

    As a Bible based believer, it seems to me that if there is a Creator and only one Creator, aliens would be a have to be part of it all ... I see nothing that would exclude aliens from other worlds ...

    The best system would be that of self government, except for one little thing .... people wont take full responsibility for their thoughts and actions ...

    How Many Saltine Crackers? (read post before voting)

    You did not say how they were to be eaten ... I crackerxs from a whole package "sleeve" into a tall milkshake glass, in milk and they go down easy. I could probably do two sleeves in a minute ...

    What is odd about the Book of Mormon?

    Such arguments have always interested me ... before I was LDS, while I was LDS and now that i am not LDS. Interesting, yes, but I see little profit in them. One side uses one solitary Joseph Smith statememnt of the Bible and its errors without putting it in the context of the time, when the...

    What is odd about the Book of Mormon?

    I don't see "very odd" as a definable characteristic. I think it could be said that compared with the KJV (for example) many modern translations could be considered odd. So, what is it that you see as odd about the BoM?

    Those Who Will Not Serve the Lord Will Be Swept Off the Land of Promise (North America)

    FFH: Seems to me you left out an important point. In my Mormon days I often heard that at thre last minute the LDS Priesthood would step in, take over the government and set things aright. It also seems to me that it was also said that the descendents of the BoM peoples would take over sometime...

    How do we judge moral dillemmas?

    Slavery ... I believe it is bad, immoral, however the Bible does not specifically prohibit it and Jesus recognized the reality of it without speaking out against it. Homosexuality ... The homosexual act seems to be unnatural and personally, it is repugnant to me. The existence of homosexuality...
