If you reject the truth, and spread false claims and rumors about the mormon church, you could be in big trouble when you die. If I were you I would want to know for sure before I started believeing what others say. Find out for yourself.

Hmm, and you have the truth? Yeah, right...

Sorry, but God is just a superstition. It really doesn't matter what trivial variation of the God myth you believe.

Heres a good look at their true nature from History.
This one happened 150 years ago but I think its still relevant because Mitt Romneys church pardoned a terrorist mass murderer of Americans in 1960 and now Romney is running for President.

MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE !!

It was September 11, 1857. A wagon train of 160 settlers on their way to California was massacred by a bunch of Mormons dressed in Indian clothes. 17 children under the age of 8 were spared and lived to tell their story.
1st. They dressed as Indians but after five days they changed tactics.
2nd. Then they went a bit away ,dressed back into normal clothes and acted like the Rescue Party who had negotiated a deal with the"Indians".
3rd, Then confiscated all the guns as part of the deal for "saving" the travellers and Mormon dissidents( who were the reason for the attack in the first place).
4th. Took everybody off a mile or so and shot them all. 2 men got away but were eventually tracked down and killed a day or so later.
5th. Took the 17 children they had not killed back with them to Salt Lake City.
6th. Got away with it. After a publicized trial, with the childrens own testimony admitted into the court, only 1 man was convicted and shot, John D. Lee. ( pardoned by Church 1960)

It ended up being called the Mountain Meadows Massacre. The first time in U.S. history that U.S. citizens were massacred on U.S. soil by religious wackos. This event is even more significant because the total U.S. population at the time was much smaller.(I dont know the exact numbers, maybe only 30 million or so) In todays numbers it would be around 1400 dead

Look, it's pascal's wager!


"If god exists, it's infinitely better to believe, since you get heaven instead of hell for eternity. If he doesn't, it doesn't matter since you're dead anyway. So overall it's better to believe"

This is, of course, false.

Some of the problems with the argument:

* The implied assumption that god may exist (with a 50% probability, no less!)

* The assumption that there is an afterlife with a heaven and hell

* The assumption that the god cares about belief in him/her above all else

* The assumption that if you believe in a god, it will definitely be the same god that actually exists.

* The assumption that you lose nothing if it's false. You have lost a great deal, from time praying to a nonexistent entity (some people pray several hours a day!!!) to morality (your god may ask you to hurt other people) and much more besides.

* The assumption that people can believe in something simply because it benefits them. Would you believe goblins exist for twenty bucks? Why not?

* The assumption that any god won't see through the "believing just to get into heaven" ploy.

See you say this but as a non religious person in my eyes you are doing the exact same thing, not meaning to sound rude because that is not my intention at all, i just dont see what the difference is that's all, you have Christians saying they are the true church, catholics will say the same, in fact every single religion thinks they are the right one, you all claim to have felt God ,heard God or God touched you, i know people from alot of different religions, even some Mormons, and i can honestly say that all these people i trust and are good people, but they all tell me that they have had some type of experience regarding God, if God is everywhere and we are all Gods children, is it not possible that he resides in the hearts and blesses people from all religions?.

If god wanted me to believe in Mormonism, it should have made a town of millions of Jewish people in New York 2000 years ago. It would help if the golden plates didn't "ascend into heaven" and if it were even remotely believable. The solid gold icon on top of the buildings is ostentatious, almost throwing it into our faces that your religion worships gold.
I'm not in big trouble, I enjoy every moment of my life. Even what many would consider bad or hard, I enjoy being alive to experience.

What like this stuff?

http://www.atheists.org/christianity/mormon.html




Come on, the Moron Church has admitted that the scrolls provided by the Smithsonian are the ones Mr Smith translated into the Book of Abraham.

How can you take a church founded like this seriously?

Well, I doubt that anyone will be in big trouble for honestly believing something but being mistaken. After all, there are people in this world who lived their whole lives without ever once hearing about Christianity, God, or the Bible. Are they going to be in "big trouble"when they die because they weren't smart enough to figure it out on their own?

I already know the truth. I can tell you three mormon horror stories, but you would delete my answer, so I won't, email if you want to hear them.

You're right, I could be in trouble. I could also meet the Easter Bunny tomorrow. Or Santa. Or the Tooth Fairy. Or maybe even the Boogeyman. You're funny.
