Have you forsaken Mormonism's exalted man and organizer god, and embraced the God of Christianity? The God of Christianity has much in common with the God I worship. From Pi A.I. Here are a few comparisons between the LDS and traditional Christian concepts of God: * Both believe that God is a lovin...

I guess it is important for LDS people to believe that Brigham Young was Joseph Smith’s successor, despite the fact that he did not see himself as such for some time.

There is uncertainty and randomness baked in, such that even a perfected human like the Mormon God would not b...

Within a system their is an element of free will in that frame of reference if you will. But to an observer outside of that system, the free will isn't there because you can see the outside elements that come into play.. This is interesting. Some won’t like this but I plugged your statement into Pi...

Arguments from incredulity seem to me extremely common, if not indeed almost omnipresent, when a proffered explanation is rejected. And I don't see them as inherently bad or false.
