Hi all. I guess it's time to finally introduce myself since I've been lurking for well over a year. I started lurking when I was taking the discussions with the mishies. Despite knowing everything that I know from reading here, I made the decision to get baptized on the 1st and (so far) am happy. I don't believe in a lot of "mormon" things...such as Joseph Smith being a real "prophet." I think maybe he had some interesting ideas and thought a creative lie was the best way to share them :) I also don't tithe or plan to do the whole temple thing. I just really like the social opportunities the church provides, and I find God in it in my own way. I'm not sure why I like coming here so much then. I guess I like seeing things from both sides, and I feel the site keeps me grounded. Also, I really like pointing out the hypocrisy in any religion. So, I hope I can offer an interesting perspective and not get slammed too badly :) If it makes you guys feel any better, I'm still a drinker and a 3 cig a day smoker (trying to quit :)
