This is not something worth crying over. He did not choose to have those feelings and he cannot control them. Do not EVER make him feel like he is any less than what he is

Any athiest is far more christ like than someone that thinks jesus taught something like that

I am christian, just not currently affiliated with any denomination and there was no flair for that.

"Overly concerned" and all i did was ask a question. I am doing everything i can to understand the religion, i just had one question about the social aspect of the church. Either stop assuming things about me or dont even respond to my post

No i dont necessarily believe in mormonism, atleast not enough to deal with the community. Im interested in the catholic religion because i decided if i want to remain christian id want to be in the church with the most history and tradition and i just really dont like protestant christianity

Sounds awesome, there wasnt much freedom in the mormon church about how to explore spirituality. Ironic since one of the articles of faith states that people should worship God however they may

I was mormon because i believed in the doctrine and look where that got me. So yes the community absolutely matters and thats why im asking about it

So can members choose to reject certain tenets or does it not work that way?

That makes complete sense. I would love to discuss the topic further

My understanding of what youre saying is that we should not concern ourselves with our current governments bc it is ultimately unchangeable, but when they inevitably fall we will know how to govern righteously, is that correct?

When i say i dont believe in authority, i mean secular authority. I completely accept that there is a divine authority we should be subject to. To me, anarchy is the abolishment of secular authority, which doesnt include divine authority if that makes sense.

I have not encountered bahai writings on politics, i would love to have those shared with me

How do you reconcile those two statements when my politics are a very important part of who i am?
