is there anyone who can testify much about the church? cause i am not at ease talking with the members in our stake.they all seem so plastic and hypocrite.
​
that's kind of sad. i've only been to one lds church, and the member were some of the most down to earth and genuinely nice people i've ever met.
​
but keep in mind that faith, religion, and church are three different things. you can have faith without a religion, and a religion without a church. just because your church or organization sucks doesn't mean much about god.

Re: Operative Mechanism of Faith
Thus, ALL you theistic-evos (out there) don't have this faith. You are very anti-Christ while being pro-Christian.
​
doesn't follow, and i take insult.

I have talked with Mormons too and read the BOM and realized how the only thing Christian about it is what it takes from the Bible.
​
having date a mormon, i talked to a few missionaries. a lot of their philosophies lined up very well the christian beliefs i already had that didn't fit with other churches. and their church service is simply the best i have ever been too.
​
my only probably was that i couldn't find the book credible in the slightest.
​
Maybe it would help focus you if you read up on the history of Mormonism and its differences from Christianity -- somebody suggested an ex-Mormon website. That's a place to start I'd say.
​
i could suggest a "recovering christian" website or two for you, faith.

Non seq, AP, since unlike the convener of this symposium here, I DON'T "have doubt in my religion."
​
yes. but.
​
my point is that i know you often feel like people here are attacking your religion, and trying to convince someone away from theirs is a bit of a double standard.
​
especially since the op's doubt was in the CHURCH and the organized religion, not his faith.

ugh.
well this thread has gone to hell in a handbasket. i guess the moral of the story is to never bump an old thread to encourage somebody.
​
people, i don't think we should be trashing each other's faiths here. just cut it out, all of you.
