A Sister Missionary and a woman I know from the ward I once attended came over to my house to try and convince me to allow my kids to come to church. After some chit chat the Sister Missionary asked me why I no longer believed in the church.
I told her I couldn't get any honest answers, so I did the research and followed the logic to the only real possible conclusion, based upon the overwhelming evidence that Joseph Smith is a fraud and a con man, that the First Vision never happened, the Book of Mormon is a poorly written plagiarized collection of 18th Century naive, racist myths.
She was taken aback and asked me how I drew those conclusions.
I said, because my children asked me honest questions and I felt they deserved honest answers, not just the pablum that satisfied the past 5 generations of my family.
She asked me if I still believed in God.
I said, "Which one, there are 300million in the Hindu pantheon alone. I like the God of Einstein, only one who does play dice with the universe, on a sub atomic level, like the God Particle works, only the dice are loaded, in favor of life. Otherwise we wouldn't be here."
She said, "Do you think that your beliefs will get you to into heaven?"
I said, "Do you think your beliefs make you more worthy to enter into heaven than Mother Theresa?"
She said, "Yes. She can't get into the Celestial Kingdom as a Catholic. She can only get in as a Mormon."
I said, "So you believe that God is more likely to let even the worst Mormon on the planet into heaven than Mother Theresa, who devoted her life to serving God by serving the most vulnerable people in the world?"
She denied that she said that.
I just shook my head and said, "I have no desire to share the afterlife with my Mormon relatives. They're racist, sexist and homophobic. Why would I want to spend an eternity with them? I'd rather hang out in Hell and listen to Hendrix and Cobain for eternity."
