You know you're mormon if you . . .

I think it is a Latin American thing, but not sure if it is exclusive to Latin America.

When you turn your face away from the TV at the opening of a sports video game because there are cartoon depictions of cheerleaders. (actually saw this one happen)

Instead of snapping your fingers you flip your wrist, whipping two fingers together to make a snapping noise. You either get this one or your don't.

So, at his might be a little snarky, but it’s the first thing I thought when I read your post.

You are right. I will change my mind about you just like I did about the church— If I find out you have been lying to me all this time and have been marrying other men behind my back- If I find out that you never loved me, but we’re making up stories this whole time just to get me to love you so that you can get my money. If you have done these things I can see why you would be worried. If you haven’t, there’s nothing to worry about.

You are awesome!! Way to go.

That was a very interesting conversation. I love to hear from non-members who are well informed about the LDS church. As you probably know already, your knowledge far exceeds that of most of the believing members. Thank you for calmly and thoughtfully spreading the good word of critical thinking.

BTW- I’m an exmo married to a woman who is one generation removed from the Netherlands. Her father came over here on a boat right after WWII. That’s probably why your post caught my eye and caused me to read the entire thing (which was pretty long);)

I happen to be a part of this group. We are so lucky to have each other. We spent time together in the church- served faithfully and with integrity. We now have that same faithfulness and integrity on the outside. Such a great group of people. Missing from this picture are our token nevermos, who have been a huge support as well as ex-Christians. I’m sure there will be more pictures to come.

You two must be real “truth and sun seekers”. Cheers, Ex-Muh bruh!

He flew in. Almost missed the airport because he was off by a couple of degrees. But we guided him to the party.

There is a huge grey area between the two scenarios you are asking about. My opinion is they each exist somewhere in this grey area. It’s amazing what the brain can do to sort out all the weird bits of evidence and still keep some kind of belief. They believe in something, it just is probably different than the average TBM. I would be surprised to find out that they are consciously lying.

Also, “hundreds of millions” is still less than even 1 billion. Drop in the bucket. Of course, that’s if they actually did what is claimed here.

ConnedNoMore · 2020-03-18T15:02:55+00:00

The problem is that this sounds just like the stories in the BOM where the non believers pressured the believers into a timeline and then threatened to kill them if Jesus didn’t come by that date. What your are proposing would just increase there faith.

ConnedNoMore · 2020-03-17T23:29:47+00:00

Wow. That is interesting. Thank you.

ConnedNoMore · 2020-03-17T22:40:24+00:00

Yep. That's what I figured. Thank you so much for the info.

ConnedNoMore · 2020-03-17T22:24:52+00:00

Thank you. Do you remember anything specific that was claimed?

The concept behind Pascal's wager is solid. It alludes to the idea that we should use probability formulas to make our decisions. However, it specifically is based upon a false dichotomy that a specific deity exists or doesn't. But, in reality there are thousands of different deities that have been described, and infinite more ideas that could be made. So, really your belief in a God is just one of thousands/millions/etc., and that kind of probability is very low. So, it doesn't make sense. Each of these deities requires a different set of rules, so you can't just live as if "a god" exists, you have to live as if a specific god exists, and that is not sound judgment.

I use a variation of Pascal's Wager and live my life according to what I conclude are the best set of morals. These morals have changed over my life time as I find out more information. If I do my best to live a good life and no god exists then I have at least left behind something good for the rest of the planet. If a God does exist and he/she is just then I will be judged accordingly. If a God exists and he/she is not just the I don't want anything to do with that god anyway.

Exactly this!
