. . . God and Mammon.
Or so they say. Seems like the Mormons are pretty good at that (tho not the only ones). They got plenty of mammon and plenty of ways of getting more and all this by serving God to their cult followers like you serve cake to your guests. Yes. Another way to take the phrase, "Serving God." How about a slice?
That tired old phrase or scripture or whatever it is needs an update. LW wrote a nice mini-treatise on ethics on the "Mormonism breaks your heart" thread which was a good thread.
I like, "Man cannot serve God and Ethics".
From LW:
"Ethics are those rules that remain the same regardless of what changes occur in one's environment. They are what motivate a principled person to stand against, for example, the arbitrary exercise of power regardless of personal consequences. Mormons have no ethics. They are taught that their views and conduct must accord with the whims of a dozen old men, men who are notorious for their frequent tergiversation. To be a Mormon means to have no moral core. It means to surrender one's ethical autonomy and yet want to be regarded as especially principled and honorable."
