I would love to live in Austria, have a large library, live in a tiny town away from government authority. Just a small community where we all are friends. Sort of like the Shire from Lord of the Rings, except in Austria.

The average American doesn't know who the Secretary of State is, what the 2nd amendment is, doubts the theory of evolution, and believes in UFOs.

Does this surprise/disturb anyone?

I really do not believe in God, but I follow SOME of the morals included in the Bible. The Bible is nothing more to me than a book of stories to make a child follow rules and grow up as "the perfect person."

I have my own views on religion, and I truly feel that religion is nothing but hurtful to people. I attended church, gave god a chance, but there was no so-called "enlightenment." All there was was a ringing in my ears from all of the shouting of the minister and the screechy "Amen!"s. As I've said, I HAVE read the bible. I know I'm going to be seriously flamed in answers to this question, which also goes to my view of the hypocrisy inside of the "Followers" of religion. You just can't accept the idea that someone thinks there is no God.

I'm respectful of people, I'm nice, I do everything to try and be a good person. You would think that that would be enough to counter the atheism tag, but no. I've been persecuted, yelled at, and basicly spit on. By "Believers."

Joseph Smith said that a person "would get nearer to God by abiding by [the Book of Mormon's] precepts than by any other book" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 194). Just what are those "precepts" from the Book of Mormon that God wants you to follow that cannot be found in other books like the Bible?

to have a Christmas tree??? I am a Christian an it was pointed out to me here recently that in the Bible it actually says this in Jeremiah 10:3 and in studying it I have found that the Gentiles worshiped natural phenomenon by means of hand made icons and symbolic imagery, the signs of Heaven. These were astral deities worshiped in the days of Manasseh and reinstituted following the death of Joshua. How will you feel about trimming the tree now? Serious question. I'm not sure what ti think.

" " For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
[19] And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." "
-Revelation 22:18,19
So with this scripture in mind please elaborate (not using The Book of Mormon) as to how The Book of Mormon does not contradict this verse?

P.S. This is a King James version for those of you who like I dislike the king James version I compared it to other bibles and found it concurrent and since it's the most widely used version I quoted it.

Seriously, if God came down and told you He was God would you believe him? Assume he didn't make a grand entrance with bright lights and trumpets of the heavens. What if He looked like an ordinary guy? Would you still believe he was God?

Realizing your body is a temple and the Glory of why you sing the choice of music, would you be offended with commericialization of say Gloria Jeans using Gloria in Excelcius? If so, why, surely the Christian message is being witnessed?

Perhaps on the topic of Materialistic Greed and Self Absorbed obsession with marketing seeking the inner Id as Freud put it, what would be pure ego, where offense would be taken, what would be the guidelines you would feel where, respect, decency, faith, justice and tallent were applied to not just another diva trotting out just another CD DVD nano ipod or download from the net, where dignity and respect were observed as a necessary part of Christian love acting? Not just the performance.

Hearing, is it significant, surely, nothing would be more artistic, than graceful music where a DVD released spoke only in Auslan and graceful dance were observed to pertainable vibrations created by speakers too?

Our body is a xmas temple how don't we defile?
