    LDS question about becoming a God.

    So Jesus is not God? Or just not your God? And do you suppose that Jesus is already a God over some other people that he created? Or does he have to wait for the resurrection too? I am just wondering, since you wouldn't think he would have to be resurrected twice. And if that is true, then how...

    LDS question about becoming a God.

    I don't believe in God, or at least not in the "Christian" version of God. So no, I guess not. I would agree that polytheism could be a part of Christianity, in fact, this sort of "Well they do it to!" thinking is what led me right out of not only the LDS church, but Christianity as a whole. I'm...

    How do you mean?

    LDS question about becoming a God.

    So by definition, that makes you polytheistic. You believe in other Gods. (Note please I did not say *worship*)

    LDS question about becoming a God.

    I cannot wrap my brain around this. If you are always progressing, then you would never be God, or like God, because God has no need to learn, grow, progress. Do you think God progresses right now? I dont' understand why God demands people to worship him why he feels he needs more glory (which...

    LDS question about becoming a God.

    So how is God "God", if he has someone more powerful, more knowledgeable than him hanging around?

    Is it better to have....

    I don't know that that is necessarily true, I suspected the same thing, that the more educated would be less faithful, but in terms of church going (which i recognize is not the same thing, I'm still searching for "faith" rather than attendance), there really isn't that great of a difference, or...

    LDS question about becoming a God.

    So you won't *really* be like God. As he is always your God. Right? So you will always have more to strive for? Is there something greater than being all powerful for eternity? How can you be all powerful, the Word, God, if there is someone more powerful than you? Does God have a God?

    Is that doctrinal or your opinion?

    LDS question about becoming a God.

    So you believe God is changing?

    LDS question about becoming a God.

    I took this from the LDS thread, because I have a specific question for discussion that is a bit off topic to that thread. (the quote was from a post made by jonny) This is something that has always made me scratch my head, but I always kind of shelved it, so I want to present it here. My...

    What do you want to know about LDS beliefs?

    WHAT records are you pointing too? Show me please. That is what I am asking. You have presented no evidence. You believe something. That doesn't make it so. As for what Jesus does or doesn't want, I'm agnostic, frankly I am not all that interested in what Jesus wants. Sorry.

    What do you want to know about LDS beliefs?

    And yet you continue to make claims and never back them up. It is not a debate when you have nothing to support your side. The thing is, that I'm here to DEBATE religion. I'm not here to "tear down your faith" or anyone else's. Frankly, if you want to believe in a church, it's not my concern...

    Ask Me Anything About Atheism

    I have no idea how to respond to this. Are you serious? Did you read what you wrote? It makes absolutely no sense.

    What do you want to know about LDS beliefs?

    And who are the ancestors of the Native Americans according to the Book of Mormon? From the Intro page of the BoM: "After thousands of years, all were destroyed except the Lamanites, and they are the principal ancestors of the American Indians." Lets be honest. It serves no purpose to be...

    atheist/agnostic meaning and purpose

    It's about survival. Lots of species do this. They care for one another, provide for each other, etc. It's instinctual. The concept *is* universal but not just among humans.

    atheist/agnostic meaning and purpose

    I don't think it *is* universal. "Good" is subjective. What you might think is "good" I might disagree with. I know that my idea of "good" is often in conflict with the Christian version of "good". I think that human's have a need to do what feels right to them. We learn these things through...

    atheist/agnostic meaning and purpose

    For me my meaning and purpose is still found in the same places it always was. Maybe that is why I'm no longer a Christian. My meaning wasn't ever centered around the Bible, or the BoM (I was LDS), but around family, friends, and life. I try to do my best, be my best, and offer everything I can...

    Something troubles me...

    So were you going to answer my questions about when you made the decision to be heterosexual rather than gay? Or about how you changed your mind, and how you are capable of becoming gay, or were you thinking that this garbage link would "answer" my questions about *you*. Is your personal story...

    Something troubles me...

    I find it facinating that someone who doesn't struggle every day in this society can "agree to disagree" about whether or not that person can change. Did you used to be homosexual and you changed? Or do you suppose as a heterosexual you could just go out and be gay if you felt like it? This is...
