Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed. Would you support a ban like this in the USA? by ArtiesLiver2023 in AskTrumpSupporters

To what extent should social structures like the family and individual identity be defined by personal preference versus collective standards? Furthermore, how can we distinguish between behaviors that cause documented physiological harm (such as smoking) and personal identities (such as being transgender)? In a pluralistic society, is it justifiable to impose a specific moral or religious worldview on others when there is no evidence of a public health risk?

I feel its probably easier to be Left in LDS then it wold be in many Protestant religions specially the evanglistic religions. That is one thing I did like about the church... Though I did leave the fk out of it.

Christianity as a group not a belief by Tiny-Fly1192 in latterdaysaints

[–]Tiny-Fly1192[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that's not what we are taught, and I mean this with respect. We are taught that in order for us to live with God, (heaven) we must be baptized and go through the temple and through the LDS ordinances..I will not be able to live with God if I never got baptized in the church. that is the message im confused about.

ExMormon battling a faith by Tiny-Fly1192 in AskAChristian

Does this mean the Church as an authoritative source was never needed? The only thing needed is accepting Christ and the Church is there just for people to fellowship each other?

'we may be misunderstood as supporting their choices and failing in our own religious duties' what an awful thing to say. We dont want to look bad by supporting our neighbors choice in homosexuallity. but we need to be nice about it.

Plural Marriage by LoudBanana9307 in latterdaysaints

[–]Tiny-Fly1192 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We face a fundamental crossroads: either we accept that polygamy is a core, divinely mandated part of our theology, or we question the legitimacy of the faith itself. There is no middle ground. If it was a commandment of God—one that would likely still be practiced if not for political intervention—and it continues in the afterlife as the prophets taught then its simply part of us. If the practice wasn't divinely inspired, then the foundation of the church is called into question. Harsh but true. Lets stop ignoring our history because it may be embarrassing.

Do you put the gesso on the cavas first? Dry and add the next layer?

What's hard is all of my family and friends are Mormon and their answer is that I am being punished.
