Well a lot of them can.

I don't follow you.

Why would God give the priesthood only to males?

I don't think there is anyone whispering in our ears.

Back in the day he commanded stuff like that all the time. When the LORD your God brings you into the land where you are entering to possess it, and clears away many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canannites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger then you. And when the LORD your God delivers them before you and you defeat them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make not covenant with them and show no favor to them' (Deuteronomy 7:1-2). "'When you approach a city to fight against it, you shall offer it terms of peace. If it agrees to make peace with you and opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall become your forced labor and shall serve you. However, if it does not make peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it. When the LORD your God gives it into your hand, you shall strike all the men in it with the edge of the sword. Only the women and the children and the animals and all that is in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as booty for yourself, and you shall use the spoil of your enemies which the LORD your God has given you. Only in the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall not leave alive anything that breathes" (Deuteronomy 20:10-17). "'Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not know man intimately, spare for yourselves' (Numbers 31:17-18)." That's your god right?

I've read it from start to finish more than 40 times. Good book.

He's done worse than that before though.

How do they do it?

What if your god asked you to fly an airplane into a building? Would you do it? That is the question.

Yeah I don't agree with that one. I don't think our earth is the product of a mommy earth and a daddy earth.

So at least in your opinion that email that gets circulated around is not something that really happened, but you are saying you believe something like that could have happened. I think that's fair enough.

Who out of you guys truly believes this meeting happened? Someone made this story up to get a point across. It's an allegory.

Where to begin? How about the creation of our earth being a procreation? Orsan Pratt says, "There is also a similarity in the process of creation between the earth and its inhabitants. The earth when created, according to the accounts we have, was covered with a flood of waters... by and by emerging from the waters. This was the birth of creation, the same as we are born here into this world, from one element into another. After having been brought forth from the element of water, the process of creation, or the further development of the earth continued." (November 22, 1873, JD 16:314) Heber C. Kimball asked, "Where did the earth come from? From its parent earths." (November 8, 1857, JD 6:36) Comments?

Was I where?

I've just been studying LDS teachings about the universe around us. They're clearly wrong.

You know that meeting never happened...
