  1. Neither the Lutherans or the Catholic took much of a stand in Germany. Perhaps my statement that religions cause war was inaccurate. I was standing outside the church the other day and a man said that we should just go kill all them (name unspecified). I confronted him, but he ignored me. I don't go to church to hear that kind of talk. I got some wise council from a Sister.
  2. Let me think about that. Educate me, please?
  3. The usual problem with God/Physics is that men try to define things not spoken of. I am quite sure that in the book of Ezekiel, there was a highly advanced vehicle used. None of us know why. I think that most of our issue with Heavenly Father vs science is that we do not need to know, he's letting us find out for ourselves, and trying to explain a black hole to us is like the father of a household trying to explain the vacume cleaner to a 2 year old. If you read Dawkins, "The God Delusion", it falls apart prety readily. He is correct that most war is driven by religious ideas, but his book really falls apart in the 5th Chapter. The poor man was raised in Kenya in WWII and his father was military and extremely overbearing, but very religious.
  4. You should only do what you are comfortable with.
  5. We used to Elk Hunt in remote country, and while I never had the need to use it, everyone in the camp carried a pistol or had a rifle near. I once heard of a bull elk walking right through camp. The wife shot the elk and when the husband came home, having been skunked, she had it ready to hang. :) There was always talk of bears and big cats, though I do not know if it was the liquor talking or not. This is not the same world I grew up in. I can't understand people being anti gun.
  6. There are ways of treating this without killing them. We scream about these things but do not take meaningful, humane action. Sigh.
  7. Those who wear garments, let them wear them in peace and humility. Those who don't, who is your judge?
  8. You are forgiven. :) Most people don't go back and check. Thank you.
  9. Is that what you think? I interpreted your post the other way. Just saying.
  10. I think it was totally uncool for anyone to say that "your only problem is your wounded pride". My Sister nearly went crazy teaching her first year. Twice I came home and she would be piteously weeping, and I felt helpless. This year, she had the Summer off and got right to it when school started. Most of us wonder if we have the right stuff when we start something new. May Heavenly Father bless you.
  11. Texas, and Oregon are two states where I know it is illegal to allow even the outline of a gun to show. Aurora, Colorado had a law making it illegal to carry, but the law was thrown out. There is so much misinformation on the subject. One of my workmates insisted that hand guns had to be registered the other day, and that is not true.
  12. To me, hate speech is anything about race, religion or nationality. Though I won't usually let a challenge about Mormonism pass. So, far Heavenly Father has helped it stay away from an argument and simply be an informative conversation. Polygamy, Jesus Christ, and being like Heavenly Father seem to be the most frequent areas I encounter. It is best not to be defensive about these things. And if they get too heated, it is best to drop it.
