It is this reality above that makes me have to part ways. I cannot focus on God's Word and several other additional writings that are not included in the Scriptures. I have enjoyed our gentle debate and truly will make an effort to put out your name in my prayers Regret.
Thank You,

I'll try this on my PDA
No, we do not officially believe that it is. Although we are told that it is unwise to watch movies with an "R" rating. If a game or movie makes a sin to appear good, it is probably a sin to watch it.

I'm not the greatest Mormon. I figure if I don't make it to the best place, I'll just be content with wherever I end up. Worst place I can end up by Mormon views is the life I'm in now, it isn't that bad. Although I'd be stuck with a bunch of people that said, "Thank **** I'm not Christian. Damn you guys ban all of the good stuff." And they'd probably be all upset they ended up where they were 😉
Woot, real keyboard and screen is nice after the mobile.

If my beliefs are correct, and you have the possibility of becoming like God, I do not believe many people that didn't believe what I do will be content with not making it there, some will be, but I doubt many will be. I believe that some people will end up in a place like the life we live in now, others will be in places that will be better, some better to an unimaginable degree.

Playing video games and getting laid for eternity is good enough for me. Besides, if your beliefs are wrong, you're screwed. What if my belief of a giant carnivorous mutant peanut that eats souls is correct? Then you're screwed.
So let's not compare 'ifs' and live in the now.

I must apologize to you, but my intent is to explain my belief. I did not start this thread to defend it against what you believe. If you want to do that create a thread where it is the topic and subject. I will willingly respond on a thread of that type, but it is not why I created this one.

These are my views. I am a Mormon, all the same these are my interpretation of what I believe as a Mormon and not necessarily official doctrine. [b]If you have questions I will answer them, but if it is an attack I may simply ignore you because I don't care about your comment. [/B]
Be that as it may, it's possible I'm screwed. I figure it's like life, back the plan you like the possible result of. So far the Mormon beliefs have a better possible afterlife than the rest do. If it isn't right maybe I will be in hell, but that's all good, if I end up in a hell worse than this life, it's possible I wouldn't like God anyway 😉

Threads are for debating opinions, not just preaching to people and not wanting them to respond. If you're going to post a belief, be prepared to defend it.
I created this one to answer questions about my belief. Not to debate it. I stated that, and I think it is sufficient to keep the thread going as long as I want it to. Also, I could not find a statement about the KMC forums that said all threads were for debate.
Also, I am not trying to preach, I just want a thread where I can answer questions about my religion without worrying about being off topic to do so. Given this, it is difficult to answer questions when the next post is always a statement of disbelief in what I have stated. I like debate, but it doesn't fit my intent for this thread.
