@SL Cabbie, the article is clear. It says "Both types of genomic material showed that ancient Egyptians shared little DNA with modern sub-Saharan Africans. Instead, their closest relatives were people living during the Neolithic and Bronze ages in an area known as the Levant. Strikingly, the mummies were more closely related to ancient Europeans and Anatolians than to modern Egyptians.&quo

Joseph Smith made many claims about Egypt in the Book of Abraham. Lets see how they hold up against Egyptian history. The Book of Abraham was supposedly written by Abraham himself while living in Egypt. The fact that the Book of Abraham contains the word Egypt is an anachronism. Ancient Egypt was not called Egypt by the Egyptians. Ancient Egyptians called their country Kemet. Kemet means &quo

@steve benson, you are clearly misinterpreting the teachings of Jesus. Jesus said we should be led by the Holy Spirit not a Government agency. You are just trying to read current political movements into the text to misrepresent his teachings. That is intellectually dishonest.

@steve benson, the Government isnt a charity. Taxes arent charity either. You can deduct contributions to actual charities from your taxes but taxes still arent charity. You cant call a payment that is obligatory (required by law) giving to charity. That isnt what charity is.

@jebus1, exactly. Jesus didnt say the Government should compel anything. The point Jesus was making is that loving your neighbor as yourself is what matters. If the Government has to come to your home to take your food and give it to someone else then that isnt an act of love. That is force. What Jesus was advocating was charity towards others. If you are forced to give to charity then

What happens when a newly baptized person does not show up for confirmation at sacrament meeting? Well you dont become a member until you are confirmed a member by the laying on of hands. The reason for this is so that the Missionaries cant just create members without the congregation knowing about it.

@koriwhore, The article says >>>The researchers said, almost as an aside, that “only religious agnostics were racially tolerant.”<<< That article is completely stupid to say the least.
