There was a question a few minutes ago regarding "playing God." A good question. However, it is often said that humans are made in God's image. Does this mean solely in the visual sense? If not, and you believe that God did indeed create us in His image then why should we too not seek to create life? Perhaps we will fail. Perhaps not. Regardless, is this not what is meant by "in His image?"

"If Joseph Smith was a deceiver, who willfully attempted to mislead the people, then he should be exposed; his claims should be refuted, and his doctrines shown to be false, for the doctrines of an impostor cannot be made to harmonize in all particulars with divine truth."

-President Joseph Fielding Smith (Doctrines of Salvation, Vol. 1, p. 188)

I grew up right outside of fabulous Las Vegas in Boulder City in the great state of Nevada. I grew up in and Aryan Nations compound with about eleven other families. We were home schooled to the standards of the Aryan Nations doctrine and covenants. We were taught to fear the world terror of the Jew.

Every morning when we would rise at 5:30 am we would all gather around the United States flag and the flag of Ayran Nations to chant a song to the popular children's tune of "This Land Is Your Land." The words would go:

The Jew is the swine of the Earth,
The Jew is the swine of the Earth,
Why would we help him destroy the world

And then we would pledge allegiance to the United States flag and say a prayer for the protection of all White people in our country.

But how can I make up for my racist upbringing?

I found a web site where you can give money to help send Jews back to Israel. Is this something that I could do to help the Jews?

how long will it take for your prayers to be answered?

when can i expect to have a desire to go to church based on your prayers being answered?

what if i live to a ripe old age and never give up my pagan ways or beliefs? is it because you didn't pray hard enough? were there not enough people making the same prayer?

i want you to help me understand this prayer business. how does it work exactly? i am willing to risk my entire faith to find out if prayer works. if it does, then obviously, your god exists (which still doesn't rule out my gods) and i will spread the word and use myself as proof

p.s. please don't forget to star this so others can pray for me as well.

In the midst of the next paragraph there is truth - Can you find it?

Did you ever break open the float and twist it from the left side? Three times eight equals 26? How about bringing the top portion and having it sink to the bottom of the tub? Do you know God would just die to spend forever with you? Isn't there over 7 types that can be used to break off the lid? Jesus isn't really God, is he?

What's the point of this question?
In a world where we are constantly be bombarded with lies and confusion there is truth that is searching for you.

Is it fair to say that atheists and somewhat less ''prominent'' (someone has gotta give me a better word) religions are more open-minded??

This is something I struggle with ..

all of these "Translations" well translation from what?
Which source? .. where is this original I hear of?.. I've never seen it ?.. have you ?.. could you tell me where it is ?,.. and what makes that version acurate?

The question is do you believe in what is written in the bible .. well which part? which author?. the books that are currently in the bible? or the ones that are not?. some of the original text in their original language?, or the translations? the changes to adapt to the powers that be to meet their agendas or how the words were originally.. and again what defines the "original"

I mean.. how do we know that there isn't more, or how do we know that 2 of those thing really are there? It could be 3 things walking by 2 things, but the 2 things didn't see the third. Or how do they know they are real?

Don't worry, you won't have to read any further than the first few sentences, and it may answer some questions regarding why certain religions adhere to certain dogma.
