@elderolddog, if you want to be distracted from reality then you can just open a Facebook account. Its endless mindless posting. I thought the RFM rule was off topic posts have to say they were off topic in the title.

@ificouldhietokolob Well I didnt say the person didnt say that. What I said was that fearing that Atheists would be put to death in America for being Atheists was about as realistic as fearing Mennonites would confiscate your buttons. Stop creating straw men. I didnt say what you claim I said. That is why I said this is fear mongering.

@ificouldhietokolob, you are apparently detached from reality. You just bought into Dave the Atheists (preacher) fear mongering non-sense.

@elderolddog, you said "but it isn't too outlandish to consider the possibility that the extreme Right would probably be all in favor of the penalty". Actually it is outlandish unless you are living in an Islamic theocracy. That hasnt happened in America since the Puritans of 400 years ago. I dont see the humor in the post but it is hard to recognize humor on a text only message boa

@no name, you make a good point. If the purpose of a cult is to manipulate you then the only way out of the cult is to be yourself... Manipulation detaches you from yourself to create a cognitive dissonance. That is where Mormonism lives. It lives in the dissonance it created in your mind.

@elderolddog, I wasnt making an authoritarian argument. I was saying that fearing atheists will be put to death is like fearing that Mennonites will ban buttons in clothing...

@Jonny the smoke, I am not upset. I am laughing out loud. He takes a obscure quote from a obscure person to talk about a non-issue... Where is there a debate about giving atheists the death penalty in America? There isnt any. Maybe in Iran but not in America. Its just a weird silly post to begin with.

So Dave the Atheist (preacher) comes to a site about Mormonism to preach atheism just because he decided to become an atheist. So if a person went from a Mormon to a Muslim then could that person preach Islam on this board? Could he talk all day about how Muhammad was better than Joseph Smith. I dont think so. Plus he quotes someone who was never Mormon and wasnt even talking about Mormon

@Dave the Atheist, this post doesnt even have anything to do with Mormonism or recovery from Mormonism. This is you just preaching your atheism again... Its kind of funny though.

@Dave the atheist, you had to use the way back machine to find an article that was published 13 years ago that isnt even posted anymore to imply that the Bible teaches: 1) Don’t let anyone find out you’re beating your children 2) Beat your children at home 3) Always use the right tools 4) Don’t let anyone find out you’re beating your children (again) 5) Always get a lawyer

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5053013/Devin-Kelley-outcast-preached-atheism.html "Another said he talked 'about how people who believe in God were stupid'" Devin Patrick Kelley preached atheism online and was court-martialed for assaulting his wife and kid.

Devin was a volunteer teacher's aid for 4 to 6 year olds for 1 month in 2013 at a Baptist Church and that is your proof that he was a Christian... That is some flimsy proof...

VBS sounds like "volunteer babysitter" because that is what he did. He wasnt even the teacher. Devin Patrick Kelley was the assistant to the teacher for 4-6 year olds in a First Baptist Church.

@lurking in, Those pictures are of INFRARED LIGHT not temperature. If you really think you can film everything that exists in our universe then you dont know much about science.

@dagny, exactly. People are trying to make him sound crazy when he is just replying to the crazy feminist notion that woman should be able to wear whatever they want in public. There are indecent exposure laws for a reason.

Just because you cant film things doesnt mean they dont exist. For example temperature cant be filmed yet I am sure you believe that temperature exists. I am not saying that his "paranormal experiences" are legitimate either. I am just saying it would be silly to think just because something doesnt show up on film means it doesnt exist.

3 Nephi 11:31-41 says that the Gospel is Faith, Repentance, and Baptism. Verse 40 makes it clear that "whoso shall declare more or less than this, and establish it for my doctrine, the same cometh of evil, and is not built upon my rock". The Gospel cant be added to or shortened. Yet that is exactly what Joseph Smith did. Joseph Smith spend the rest of his life inventing new doctrine

@Badassadam1, the LDS Church loses lawsuits all the time. The problem is that the offense has to be so heinous that people will not turn a blind eye. For example, the LDS Church has tried to cover up child sex abuse in their church and they have had multi-million dollar settlements because of it. Many victims of sexual abuse have won lawsuits against the LDS Church. The other problem is tha

I just read a book that explains Mormonism perfectly. It is called "Power: Surviving and Thriving After Narcissistic Abuse" by Shahida Arabi. I think this would help many people here understand and recover from the abuse that they have endured in Mormonism.
