Scientists Ineligible for Temple Recommend?

[_selek]

Do LDS bishops still ask the question in temple recommend interviews?: "Do you affiliate with any group or individual whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or do you sympathize with the precepts of any such group or individual?"

If so, wouldn't this mean that egyptologists, geneticists, physicists, archaeologists, biologists, and other scientists are ineligible for a temple recommend, since their respective disciplines promote teachings that are contrary to LDS belief?

If that question were translated correctly to hungarian, my wife, the poor thing would be unworthy.

... A person, organization, or establishment associated with another as a subordinate ...

I am that another.

Science is not in conflict with LDS doctrine. However, voting for or being a member of the Democratic Party or anyone to the left of them would fall under this category.

President Faust was an apostate.

When Ezra Taft Benson said that, I am sure he was just speaking as a man and not as a prophet. Either that, or the word "Democrat" actually meant "tapir."

This is BCspace's queue to take his foot out of his mouth.

I would not hesitate to refer to any prophet or apostle as an apostate if they ever publically support the Democratic Party of today.

On the contrary, this is bcspace's chance to show that he is not a hypocrite and puts his money where his mouth is.

Do you have an ETB quote for that? It really wouldn't matter whether you did or not because I came to this conclusion on my own without any help from ETB.

Really, barely an attempt at a nice try, even for this place.
