"We don't really know, but Gawd will sort it out in the end."

TBMs pull this like a shotgun at a Hatfield/McCoy reunion.

But let anybody else say God will sort it out, fer instance, "Ghandi led a good life, and will be in heaven even if he wasn't baptized - God will sort it out", and Mormons get all condescending, and shake their head in sad consternation at the deluded statement. They already have God's Approved Method™ of taking care of Ghandi - Necrodunking!

Mormons firmly believe in Mormon Exceptionalism. They, and only they, get to change the rules when it is convenient for them.

How is God going to sort it all out when he's the one who let the whole mess happen in the first place? The mormon god--I for one am not impressed.

I second the motion, I am sick of hearing that one too.

"I agree, that's why (if I'm wrong) I know that if he is the loving god you say he is, he will understand the process that led to my choices and not judge me harshly in the next life."

Makes a lot of people very angry and/or uncomfortable.

If he's so omnipotent, why can't he sort things out NOW?

“As long as a population can be induced to believe in a supernatural hereafter, it can be oppressed and controlled. People will put up with all sorts of tyranny, poverty, and painful treatment if they're convinced that they'll eventually escape to some resort in the sky where lifeguards are superfluous and the pool never closes. Moreover, the faithful are usually willing to risk their skins in whatever military adventure their government may currently be promoting.”

“I cannot believe that the most delicious things were placed here merely to test us, to temp us, to make it the more difficult for us to capture the grand prize: the safety of the void. To fashion of life such a petty game is unworthy of both men and gods.”

“To emphasize the afterlife is to deny life. To concentrate on heaven is to create hell.”

And this is why I recognize and confirm Tom Robbins as the closest thing our world has or needs to a living prophet. The Morg likes to tell you that gawd will sort it out because it means that they don't have to.

I've heard that so many times in questioning Mormon beliefs I couldn't even begin to count.
