... do we also have to have a "War In Heaven" and send our first born kid to die horribly so our other kids can be saved from whatever it is we understand but they can't comprehend?

Or did we just get the f**k-up of the bunch?

Inquiring embryo-deities want to know!

Timothy

and why send all your children off with brand new earth-bodies just so they can form cheesy cults all of which purport to be The One You Like Best and then let them kill each other over it?

Shades of King Lear in a screwed-up futuristic version of that stupid Old Testament storm-god thingie. And we know how Lear ended up.

every god gets a satan and a savior.

My reaction is, "BUT daddy. I want two satans."

I once asked in GD class what happens if nobody wants to be Satan?

Didn't get a good answer.

"That's right! I TURNED gay so you could SHUN me and call me a SINNER! I WANTED to be treated that way!"

There should be a Celestial Queendom too. But I'd bitch while I'm over in the Kingdom because they'll have better window treatments. Small sacrifice. ;)

Just sayin'...

I never thought of it that way, Timothy, but then I guess I was only thinking in terms of "forever family" (and I was). I tried to forget all the other details.

As for sacrificing our first born--how about sacrificing ALL OUR SONS (and daughters). I remember when my friend was sending out her 4th son on a mission and I realized, "So, they are ripping our sons out of our arms at age 19." The relationships mothers have with their sons aren't the same after a mission. The "bonds" have been deeply damaged--from what I've seen.

Consider they can only talk to their parents twice a year even in this day and age and they can only write to them once a week.

After reading "In Sacred Loneliness"--and then thinking about all the other aspects of mormonism, ALLLLL their programs and teachings are about LACK OF INTIMACY in every aspect of our lives.

I'll take it a step further: missions damage all family bonds. My brother was insufferable after his mission (he still is) and his 3 BYU degrees certainly contributed to his feelings of superiority.

I thought it was just my perception, but my parents felt his scorn as well. I was quite TBM at the time, but I knew that I would never measure up in his eyes because I *gasp* drank Coke!!

I thought of that after I posted--missionaries are sent out and come back disconnected from their families. I've seen a lot of relationships ruined by missions.

Kinda morbid, too. With the suffering and death.

"Well, we can't fully understand god's plan?"

Gee, I wonder why?

Don't know about you, maria, but any plan that includes having your first born kid brutally beaten and savagely murdered to correct an oversight is the kind of "plan" I'm not likely to understand and even less inclined to follow.

World-wide flood, three episodes of infant genocide ... Helluva plan if you axe me ... NOT!

Timothy

If I ever become a God(not going to happen for me, or anyone else), I'm going to send people down to a cool planet, not the lone and dreary world.

If anyone is cool, witty, and fun to be around. They live forever and have sex and other good stuff, and perhaps become a God too.

If they are like most mormons, don't like loud laughter etc. they die and are done for. Like on Survivor, I say, "I've got nothing for you" and that's that.

I don't think Elohim has a plan. He just makes it up as he goes.

Timothy

but Joe Smith was making it up as he went.

it didnt hurt!! :)(the torture and death)!!

Going to give my spirit children the bodies of Snorks

Pan! Being an Elohiemiean style god is too much work. I'd rather get drunk, play my pipes and screw.
