Do you agree? In your opinion, are light-skinned women more attractive? Is it consider wrong (or racist) to find light-skinned women more attractive?

Years ago I converted to Mormonism because I thought that there might be something to it. After seeing what it's about, I realized I need to leave it. The problem was that I was already married to another member and we had a daughter. So I ended up loosing my marriage to someone that I really loved and a daughter that I really love and miss. I've seen both sides of Mormonism. So, for all it's worth, it's a sham.

They get you to start believing, then they start trying to get you to spend more time doing church stuff. Then, later, you start wondering what happened to your life.

That's what happened to me. I lost my wife and my daughter to this thing.

My question is are Mormons just to scarred to realize the truth, that the LDS Chruch is a cult?

What would you do if you had an annoying co-worker who ALWAYS comes into your office to talk. She is NEVER at her desk, she is always wandering around the whole entire office (I'm not the only one who has noticed this). She will come into my office and look at my computer screen and comment on what I'm doing. She will also read stuff that is laying on my desk, and make comments.
It's soooooooooooo annoying. I don't want to tell her to go away or confront her personally about it. Any good suggestions on what I can do?

I try to just not prolong the conversation and act really busy - but that doesn't seem to work.

She will come into my office about 2-3 times an hour!

HELP!!!!!!!

There are actually people on this planet that believe diseases are not caused by Eve eating an apple. Really.

Those people wondered if God even actually had a role in the existence of diseases and wondered if they could do something to cure the disease.

So, they invented a cure. Or became a surgeon.

Curing a disease can only be done by first denying God's so called plan (or simply not believing in a God of course). Or denying that God has a role in creating diseases. Or denying that sin has anything to do with the existence of diseases. Yet, I always see people thanking God for a healed spouse or child or whatever.

Shouldn't we be thanking the denial of God instead?

The bible tells us that God is All "Knowing", All "Loving" and All "Forgiving", but yet people still want to believe that God is an angry and hateful Being that does not forgive people, sends people to Hell, curses people with illnesses and deformaties (sp?).
This contradicts one another. You can't have an All "Forgiving" God that sends people to Hell. Forgiveness is forgiveness. Just like you can't have an All "Loving" God that hates gay people. Love is love.

If it is well known that the Bible was edited, and it was well known that people blamed earthquakes and other natural disasters on God before they knew any better, then why do so many people still believe that God is so angry and hateful?

Any thoughts?

The record gives an account of the two great civilizations. One came from Jerusalem in 600 B.C., and afterward separated into two nations, known as the Nephites and the Lamanites. The other came much earlier when the Lord confounded the tongues at the Tower of Babel. This group is known as the Jaredites. After thousands of years, all were destroyed except the Lamanites, and they are the principal ancestors of the American Indians.”

Maybe three minutes ago there was a question that asked 'how one could rid the world of religions' and many of the answers suggested that those of religion are uneducated.

WHAT??????

Do you think that we, religious people, sit in a corner all day and read from our Bibles, and Korans. I have spent my whole life hearing about the evolution theory and the big bang as it is required by the education system that I understand it aswell as understand why others my think that it is probable. We, religious people, live in this world just like you do and draw from it our own conclusions as to whether or not being religious is worth our time. Just because we choose that it is, does that makes us uneducated? What more can anyone draw to our attention to increase our awareness that has not already been thrown in our face, especially to those of this generation who live in an atheist society.

I am ready to accept whatever He gives and to give whatever He takes with a big smile. —Mother Teresa

Much of Jesus’ message was lost on the religious authorities of his day because it was not what they expected. Consider in what unexpected ways is Jesus coming to you this Advent.

Peace Be With You,

Some guy driving a truck seemed to think I was someone named Richard Head. Apparently it was someone who he had a sexual relationship with, considering what he was saying he wanted to do to me. He seemed a bit over excited, so I gave him the single-finger peace sign and suggested a nice warm place for him to go to.

Is COD trying to tell me something?

Historians say that the church of Rome changed the 7th day Sabbath(Saturday) around 321AD to Sunday(first day of the week). Who authorized them to make this biblical change? Why are so many Bible believing Protestant christians following in the foot steps of the doctrines of the church of Rome? Which is more important: allegiance to man or obedience to God's word?

Your thoughts........
