"Let’s see, you say my church is wrong, my creeds are an abomination, my pastor is corrupt, my Heavenly Father is invented, my Jesus is mythical, my Trinity is a monster, my justification is pernicious, my grace is a fallacious doctrine originated by Satan, and my Bible is not trustworthy. Then, when I attempt to offer any sort of disagreement or rebuttal, you accuse me of hatred and bigotry. If that isn’t enough, to add insult to injury, you want to steal my name? Not on my watch!"

Anonymous asked: As I read through your questions, I find a few things that you are extremely uneducated on. In one question, you said the Bible was translated very correctly. Actually that is false. Throughout much of the Old Testament, there are hundreds of errors in the translation. So the Bible is not error free. In fact, it is far from it. In the original Hebrew script, there are hundreds of similarities between the Gospel of our fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and the Mormon church.

The guy in this video does a much better job of articulating answers to your concerns than I could ever do to save my life.
Now that we established the accuracy of the Bible, can we talk about some of the many 4,000 changes to the Book of Mormon?
"I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet."
— Joseph Smith, History of the Church, Vol. 6, pp. 408-409

Anonymous asked: Hm, I think I understand but like, when he originally mentioned being mormon, he said it was a load of rubbish..I personally would consider him as atheist but then again, I am very confused about the whole situation. Also, sorry for being a bother, but could you try and explain what a missionary is?
No bother at all!
I’m assuming you’re asking what a Mormon missionary is?
They’re young men generally aged 19-21(sometimes females 21 and up and retired elderly couples) who are sent out by the LDS church to different parts of the world to spead the LDS gospel.
I’m not too familiar with the process, but when they turn 19 or so, they send in a missionary application. After pending, and by recommendation they receive a letter package from the Church headquarters in SLC. The package includes their mission assignment and MTC reporting date.
The date indicates when they’re to report to the Missionary Training Centre(MTC) in Provo. Basically—it’s spiritual bootcamp. They are put to rigorous training where they will learn about and study the LDS gospel. Those who are assigned a language speaking mission will have to learn to preach the gospel in that particular language.
The missionaries typically stay in the MTC for about 6 weeks - 3 months depending on if you are learning a new language.
Once their training is complete, they head out to wherever they are assigned and will serve there until their two years is up.
During the mission, they will follow a very strict set of rules. (You can read about them online) Basically, every missionary’s primary goal is to find people who are willing to listen to their message and get them baptized into the church.
——————————————————————————————-
In areas with a large Mormon concentration like Utah or Idaho, serving a mission is pretty much expected from you.
If you talk to Mormon woman, especially those who are serious about progressing in their faith—will not marry a guy unless he’s a returned missionary. Also within the Mormon culture, if you don’t serve a mission your level of respect won’t be as high as those who did.
