Yes, it's always a double standard with them. They mock us for believing in the Gold Plates or First Vision, but yet they also believe in Noah's Ark, the strory of Jonah, and a talking donkey. I don't see why the Biblical stories are less improable than the Gold Plates and First Vision. Edited June 10, 2020 by Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dprh Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 My aunt got married when she was 16 in the 70's. It wasn't a shotgun wedding, no early baby. Everyone thought it was right. They are still together with 7 children and over 20 grandkids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fundamentalist "Christian" anti-Mormons are notorious for hating Muslims, so I'd guess they at least pretend to be concerned. scottyg and Midwest LDS 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Atheists will still apply the same standard to a "dirty old man" named Joseph marrying a 13 year old virgin. And we're supposed to believe he was married to her and slept int he same bed, yet he didn't have sex with her for at least 9 months? Yeah, I'd believe that.
