In the NT it says that no one goes to the Father except through Jesus. When it comes to confessing our sins to God, we go to Jesus to confess, who in turn informs His Father, God. How does confessioning our sins to a priest come in? Do Catholics confess to a priest who in turns informs Jesus who in turn informs His Father, & then your sins are forgiving?

There's some critical mistakes about the LDS Conference Center in wikipedia. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lds_conference_center ). In the part of the "Feature", it states "While essentially Modernist in architecture, the Conference Center has a distinctly Pre-Columbian appearance. This reflects both the church's increasingly Latin American composition--from the mid-1990s onward, the majority of the church's membership has been from countries outside the United States, dominated by Mexico, Central America, and South America--and the now-prevalent belief that the events of the Book of Mormon took place in Central America." Most of all, most members are from the United States, not outside. Also, I was stunned when I got to the part that Conference Center's design was influenced by members from Latin American cultural sphere. I know that church is fair to every member from all parts of world, not depending one from which cultural background he or she has.

Is it the establishment of laws to protect all religions (or lacks thereof) without promoting one over another?

Or is it completely eliminating religion where the government is concerned?

As most men have some sort of religious perspective on life, and freedom of religion is supposedly a right we all have, it seems to me that the separation of church and state should involve the protection of all religions, rather than their eradication from public life. It is possible for the government to acknowledge spirituality in general without creating strife among the religions. Today's version of separation of church and state does nothing but stir up antagonism between atheists and religious people, the way I see it. What do y'all think?

Sometimes when I see how torn the world has become and how evil men have taken over our culture the only consolation is a comforting scripture from the Book of Mormon or Joseph Smith's many words of wisdom during his tribulation and challenges on Earth. Please provide your favorite inspirational message.

This has worked in several other churches over the past 20-30 years. Why not ours? Women are smart enough to play a role in the priesthood.

First of all I hold Ed Smart in contempt because if he had been careful and didn't employ known homeless than Elizabeth Smart would not have been a major target for pedophiles. Further, I don't think that her parents did enough to protect her and I don't think that the fact that they had "several children" and "this was an oversight" is a justifiable excuse.

My blog is going to be called, "Daddy don't let him do that to me: Could Elizabeth Smart's rape have been avoided if her parents exhibited some discretion."

So what do you think? It certainly cannot reverse what has happened but it can show other unaware parents that protecting your children against pedophiles isn't a joke but a valid concern.

The Smart case is the best example of parents turning a blind eye. Our LDS faith teaches us that we need to be proactive yet we wait till the last hour to act. Why?

How about a deal, I'll believe in the Christian God if you believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Is that possible?
Why do Christians say I need to "choose" to believe in God when the most I could possibly do is lie to myself until I fool myself into thinking I really believe in God, and wouldn't an all knowing God know the difference?
