Conversion

is it wrong to believe in something, because of love for someone else.

maybe ignorance, maybe not, does it matter as long as im happy?, i dont think it does.

As long as you don't make other people unhappy...go for it tiger.

Also, bed the girl.

Though...pre-marital sex and shit, eh? Well...damn.

What made you believe though?

Well its not entirely the wrong reason. Love came before religion, so I dont see there being a problem with it. Once something gets you there, and you are somewhere happy, should it matter How you got there in the first place?

Happiness is important, but will you stay happy?

i think so, because i know what its like to not have anything, and i like this better.

That makes sense. So, you have spent years searching for the right religion for yourself? Right? 😉

not exactly, but i have been to different christian religions, and i didn't like the way they did stuff...

I don't mind, just as long as you make a well informed decision. After all, it is your life.

so i just recently started going back to church, i started going for a girl, she is mormon and so am i, i used to not believe in anything, but since i started reading the book of mormon, and looking at it seriously, and i am starting to believe. is believing in something because of someone else wrong, im not doing because of her anymore, but it was for love to begin with.

If the book of Mormon is the only religous text you've read then you haven't got a very full perspective on religion or spirituality, have you?

I'm not saying you have to go and read every religious book out there. I'm just saying a little more research is needed before you can settle down with one religion for the rest of your life.

However, if you've done this, and decided that Mormon is the religion for you, then enjoy it. But remember it was your descision to go with that religion. It wasn't divine intervention that led you there. (It was lust, actually.)

When people love each other it should be because of who they are right now, at this moment, without any artificial changes or other behaviours.
