Does anyone know if there is a Mennonite church near Brigham Young University in Utah?

I am searching for a church to join that isn't affiliated with the University because I'm not Mormon, and I'm not going to convert just because I'm one of 1000 students on the 35000 student campus who isn't LDS.

When my father attended the University in the 70s, he knew several Mennonites in nearby Spanish Fork. I'm very interested in joining their congregation, but am unable to find any kind of adress or other hint that the church is still there.

Anyone Menno living in Utah? Do you know if there's a Mennonite church anywhere near BYU? I'm willing travel far in order to keep my faith.

Thank you,

~Annie~

I've done a lot of research online and I have not found any quotes or anything to lead me to believe that scientists have said there has to be a God, but some people here say they have heard this. Can you please provide links so that I can study this?

OK, I've done a lot of research and everything leads me to believe there are a lot more than just one God to chose to believe in. Why do so many people just say "God" and which one do they believe in? Please see my profile for more information on my situation...I'm sorry if I seem stupid.

Why do some Christians complain about being generalized, then go rip on Muslims?

The behavior of extremist groups in any religion or culture is usually equally negative. Why do people generalize Muslims when there are denominations of their own religion who commit acts that are equally extreme and harmful. For example: Christian extremists and pro-lifers are well known for committing acts of terror to prove a point by attacking abortion clinics. Does this make all Christians like this? Obviously not! SO Why are so many Christians ripping on Muslims, when there are people in their own group who commit or have committed acts that are equally atrocious?

Isn’t it better to just say “extremist” over “Christian” or “Muslim” Extremist- thus placing blame upon the individuals who commit these acts vs. the ENTIRE religion?

I would prefer only adherants of this religion answer, or at least a knowlegable Asatruar or Germanic Heathen, unless someone has done their research.

Certain types of Muslims, (Wahabi), and supposedly ALL muslims think music is a sin, because the lyrical content can be sexual, or the extreme passion of emotional music can make us forget God. But why wouldn't classical music, without lyrics, like BACH, which was music written for God, be OK? On the Muslim websites they never specify.

From what I understand, Buddha said there is no essence of 'you'. If you take a table apart, you find no essence of 'table', only bits of wood - and in the same way, there is no essence of 'you'. Am I right so far?

Well. If there's no 'you', how can 'you' be reincarnated? My religion teacher said Buddhism generally doesn't have an answer to this, and that individual Buddhists might have their own ways of explaining it.

What are possible ways of explaining it?

Sometimes people say religion is "primative" and now we have science to explain things.

I sort of want to become Catholic, but I don't feel like going to church. The Catholic Church requires baptism, and I am not going to ask my parents to bring me down to the local church and get baptised. (I was never baptised.) I also do not feel like taking long classes to become a Catholic. I think I would rather be a Protestant, as I don't have to go to church or get baptised. I can just consider myself Protestant without setting a foot near church.

Please quote some peaceful ahadith and Qu'ran to me where Mohammad and Allah (pecans be upon them) said it was not right to slay unbelievers, where they said women are equal to males, where they said women shall not be abused (beaten), and where they said non-believers don't have to pay dhimmi tax?

Can you prove Allah did not say, "Slay the unbelievers where ye find them."

I remember taking these classes when I was little at a church. My parents were both Catholics and I celebrate all the holidays they do, but I was never baptized. I have to be baptized to be a Catholic, correct?

...and all our hopes lie in an insane species? That does not sound like something worth celibrating.

Some people are ok with the possibility and say: "So what, just live your life and enjoy it!"

This is perhaps the most disgusting sentence I have ever heard in my life. When I hear this sentence I immediately envision a bunch of rich wigs eating grapes and laughing in that snortly arrogant laugh while the fragile, poor souls of the world are hidden a thousand feet underground where noone can see them and they are slowly crushed by a giant wheel.

I find that kind of banal happiness physically revulsive and cannot understand how this can be the center of peoples' lives.

No number of mortal geniuses can bring justice to the world, it's clearly going to take some kind of Messiah. If there is none, how am I supposed to celibrate the death of all hope? The death of our children? The death of the future world? Why should I want to?
