Im not familliar with the theology or views of LDS christianity.
However, I was brought up in a rigid catholic family, church every sunday, went to catholic schools, was even pushed into being an altar boy for a year by my mum and grandparents.
I renounced my religion and any organised religion not very long after the day our priest was giving a sermon on sin when I was about 14 (2 years into my habit of a lifetime)
"... Sin comes in stealth, there are sinners on our television sets, on our streets. Moral deviants such as drug addicts, murderers, rapists,
crossdressing men, prostitutes..."
(There was more, but these words stay with me)
A religion that preaches that you be true to yourself, and a 'spokesperson for god' who tells you otherwise. I decided I didnt need catholicism. I was dragged to church each week untill I was 16 when my mum told me that I
knew my own mind. That irritated me.
What Im getting at, is since turning away from all that BS, I started browsing websites on alternate religions when I was about 22.
To be honest, they all say pretty much the same thing under the guise of makebelieve and vengeful gods smiting the sinners.
The thing they all say is basically...
Be good, don't hurt anyone, you might only get one shot at this.
Which brings me to my point.
If you decide that your failth is not
your faith due to persecution, fear mongering or whatever you dont agree with, just remember that you probably don't need it anyway.
My life, I would say, has improved ten-fold since I learned to see through the bullshit.
But CDing is obviously part of
you as you havent been prompted to it, Im assuming that like many of us, myself included,
you just do it.
I'll also bet your parents told you that you belong to LDS?
Work out what YOU are, not what you have been TOLD you are, then go with it.
But DO however remember the good teachings from your religion, they ARE important.
I hope I havent offended anyone, but Im always up for a good theological debate.
