    Then by all means, do explain.

    Edit: and no strike, I only had the usual two beers with dinner today... The typing errors, if that was what you refer to is due to me not having mastered the iPad's touch keyboard yet.... Speaking of which, could some kind mod add the missing "it" in the title?

    One big bash? Where?

    The ridicule of the christian belief was not ridiculing christianity, it was ridiculing the missing logic emplpyed by those who hate the mormons, to illustrate that a Mormons belief isn't more far-fetched than any other christian claim.

    Weird founding history? You mean like a virgin giving birth? How much weirder can one get? Honestly?

    Take the faith out of christianity and it all falls to pieces. Take the faith out of the mormonism and it all falls to pieces. I see no difference whatsoever between the two and the hate exhibited by those who themselves claim to be hated(by the "liberal media") is astounding.

    There's a south park episode about this. Not exactly accurate, or even completely serious, but I think it covers the main criticisms.

    Maybe Mary was a time traveller from the future who had IVF before travelling to 2000 years ago. The advanced technology of the future provides logical explanations for how all the miracles occured.

    Remove the faith, and this one is as logical as "God did it".

    Insert faith, however, and "God did it" becomes logical. Just like the case is with the Mormon beliefs.

    Its fascinating to see that pure, uncut religious hatred and bigotry determines the outcome of the republican primary.

    Please elaborate I'm interested to hear the details, maybe I can explain stuff, there is a lot of misinformation about the Mormon religion out there.

    Haha.

    The Mormon church banned polygamy around the year 1900. Also in the years where polygamy was practiced not everyone was polygamous, In the region where I live historically only about 25% of families practiced polygamy.

    Why is there no south park episode on the equally "ridiculous" story of the life of jesus christ?

    according to most Christians, you harden your heart, that's why you never understood that.

    I knew it, they always talk about that with me.

    Because somewhere in the books on the new testament is a bit about how Jesus was the last official prophet of the lord. Anyone who claims otherwise is perpetrating a big ass mortal sin. Anyone who follows said false prophet is also a sinner. Also there is the risk of them being the Anti-Christ*.













    *Although to a Christian mind Mohamed and his Islam thing ring more of the Anti-Christ bells than Mormons.
