[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Well, my main problem with the CoJCoLDS is that they hold as scripture various things that make no sense. I've never actually read all the way through that copy of the Book of Mormon on the bookshelf behind me, but from what I understand, one man was supposedly told the whole thing at one time, and little of it is consistant with the Bible as it's generally accepted. It's a bunch of stories, with minimal insight into how God intended life to be lived. Hm. Let me put it this way: You can (and arguably should) look at all of history as a single story of God workiing in the "life" of humanity, showing us how he intended life to be lived. Life was created with specific intentions for its nature, and we lost that path. God always tried to show us the way back, so that we may truly live. Jesus was the perfect expression of that. "I come that you may have life and have it abundantly." In that context, what possible purpose could the stories in the Book of Mormon serve? Why would God (or the angel Moroni) even bother? So yeah, Mormons believe Christ to be the Son of God, which is great, but if the whole point to Christ BEING the Son of God is that it allows us to live life in the best way possible... why bother with the Book of Mormon at all? Of course, I personally believe that the whole thing was a massive joke. I mean, the whole bit about The Brother of Jarod is almost Pythonesque. SUBMARINES? Though the bit about God giving him the finger might qualify as inspired, just not in the way the Mormons think. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
