Using inspired quotes/statements I came up with a while ago when I was starting to figure out the HUGE difference between Mormonism and non-denominational Christianity and Life in general. The difference between unconditional Love, (aka non-denominational Christianity) v.s. conditional Love (aka Mormonism) With that said, I'd let him know that the way Mormons view Love, God and Christ are pretty messed up in comparison to how Christians view them. In a nut shell, the statement/quotes I wrote below sums it all up.
"Maturity is like a Caterpillar turning into a Butterfly. Once you've had a full mental, emotional, spiritual awakening, you see the world around you for what it really is. Living in a cocoon is a sure sign of immaturity, you live according to what you think or want the world to be around you. Everyone goes through transformations at their own time and pace. No one can be forced to change, they can only be encouraged".
"Love should NEVER be something you ASK for, EARN, or
PROVE. TRUE LOVE comes UNCONDITIONALLY, NATURALLY, FREE, and WILLINGLY.
TRUE LOVE, is like a GARDEN that needs regular CARE to GROW and FLOURISH.
Superficial love only puts DECORATIONS on, to make it APPEAR that person is being well taken care of.
It's CLEARLY easy to point out the DIFFERENCE. One can LAST for a LIFE TIME, while the OTHER eventually FADES AWAY".
"Religion" is a place you go, to conform to everyone elses ideals, While "Belief" is a special place reserved in your heart, mind and soul for that extra close relationship you have with God if you believe in him. I'll pick the Latter over the first any day, unless you can show me a church that "Thinks", "Knows", "Believes" and "Acts" in the same way with "Unconditional Love!"
"God gives us the gift of choice, while many people abuse the name of Jesus Christ to justify the reasons why they attempt to deceitfully control and manipulate others while giving poor excuses for their words and actions. A free man and woman tells the truth and hides behind no one and takes responsibility for their own actions. Everyone makes choices whether they choose to go to church and believe or not".
"When we abuse our position in life, The authorship becomes distorted, wears off and ineffective for both the writer and the reader. Don't allow others to treat you disrespectfully, speak up and discuss matters everyone can agree on, in the name of Peace and Justice".
"Fear and guilt are your only enemies. Love and awareness are your true friends. Do not confuse one with the other,for one will kill you, while the other gives you life."
~Neale Donald Walsch
