"There is one piece of information I find particularly interesting, given everything unfolding in the United States at the moment. Before his death, Joseph Smith supposedly issued the White Horse Prophecy, which stated that at some time in the future of the United States, evil men and secret combinations would combine to destroy liberty, freedom and free agency in the United States. It is true that we do see this happening today by secretive power elites, politicians and the Federal Reserve.
This prophecy claimed that through political or educational actions Mormons would see the Constitution hanging by a thread and rescue the Constitution and nation from strife, evil control and destruction. Many in the Church support this prophecy while the leadership today backpedals from such an extreme statement."
It is obvious by now that christianity is a failure as a worldview. It is a dead end, leading us to where we are today. The philosophy of the LDS is our only hope!!

Seems reasonable to me. Better break out the sacred temple garments.
I am a bit disappointed that you guys actually think that I would have any kind of response to so cheap and obvious (and substanceless) a bait as this. At the risk of sounding insufferably arrogant, I know more about Joseph Smith Jr. and the LDS church than everybody else in these forums, including the Mormons, combined x10. HeadHunter making an asinine statement about his hallucinated failure of Christianity is not news.

If you are Christian, why are you Yom Kippur?
(As an aside, I went to Yom Kippur services with my girlfriend and her family, at least the morning to mid-afternoon ones. They kept going. I left and got a bacon cheeseburger. Lot of repenting of sins. Read the book of Jonah. Figured it did this Catholic boy some good.)

There is no yom kippur without Christ. Every Jewish thing there ever was fulfilled in Him. To use a short way of putting it. Seriously. Read the book of Hebrews. He is the both the sacrifice and the high priest who opened the holy of holies to all who approach through His blood. Hebrews 1 ESV

That alone should be enough to dismiss this ridiculous religion.[/quote]
Faith leads mankind to believe in a manner of silliness; Why question anything when you have faith?
Essentially, Mormonism is no different than any other religion w/r/t ridiculous faith based beliefs. They’ve merely elected to turn up the crazy several notches, giving them a higher degree of the same ridiculous.
