Dude--
It was. Until about a page and a half ago. I can deal with informative discussion,honest curiosity and generally honest inquiries as to things people have heard and what not. As soon as it...

This thread has officially imploded. It does no good to battle over belief. I'm not gonna try and force my religion down anyone's throat, and sure not going to feel obligated to defend against...

No close mindedness here. It's just that nothing I said really goes against what you said--so there's really no need to continue the debate. I based my statements on the Bible from the version that I...

That's good. I have the KJ version, and I still believe it is a book of God. If you have a more detailed version, great.

Gross. But it doesn't matter whether it's a penny or a benjamin. It's the principle. Man--I've gotta get back to work....

1)I'm guessing you're referring to garments. Garments are worn by members of the church who have been...

Dude--they should leave you alone. If you don't want em' around, they should be leaving you alone. Like I said, they mean well.
As for BYU--I bleed red. 'Nuff said.

Oh yeah--sorry. I forgot to add that I'll be holding a pleasant evening "social" at my house this weekend. Bring all your beautiful families and we'll sing hymns and talk about new and exciting ways...

Alright--
So I'm mormon, and quite a "liberal" mormon at that (if you can use those two words in the same sentence). I'm very open to people, ideas, etc. For any on the board that know me, I'm as...

Yes. Yes it is. Be careful out there. They go straight for the satchel.

I hear they've got horns...
