"If we should take a million of worlds like this and number their particles, we should find that there are more Gods than there are particles of matter in those worlds... One world has a personal God or Father, and the inhabitants thereof worship the attributes of that God, another world has another, and they worship His attributes... "

LDS is not Christian. Rejects most core tentents of Christianity.
"but Mormonism is muh based"
@Maksim Even worse
@Crazed Shotgun Thanks for the advice. I know what you mean, maybe I should have DMed you. The anti-LDS sentiment is strong, and that ironically makes it all the more alluring. Still, I was looking more to see if you had any philosophical/apologetic arguments that you found cogent. But, this will do, I suppose. It is a byproduct of the Second Great Awakening, after all, so you can't expect some kind of Thomist parallel.
This is specifically why I refuse to have a conversation about my faith with any individual, it is nothing but attacks. Rather than a conversation, it is a mud flinging contest to see who can attack the other most efficiently. I'm tired of hearing the same arguments over and over. If anyone wishes to seek out answers to inquiries, feel free to PM me but if you just want to use "gotcha" arguments and belittle my faith, please locate the nearest toliet and place your face into the bowl.
@everyone -Daily Question
How much of a role does religion play in society? Would it be better for society to have an established religion to push the society in one direction or another? What religion would you put in power if you could?
none
the government should do everything it can to remove the stain of religion
The state should be ruled in accordance with religion, namely Islam

@Perception but why
<:smug:591181720565579807>
do you mean why Islam or why theocracy?
why the religion of the creepers from minecraft
>tfw no fashy White Supremacist theocrat gf
theocracy is fuckign stupid
theocracy is based if its the right religion
white supremacy is also dumbassery
i imagine people would know this by now
islam is the worst of all religions
its a medieval cult
can you give me a solid reason to believe that
other than "its a cult"
well they have a thing for killing people
lots of people
thats nothing to do with Islam as an ideology
that's to do with its followers maybe
in some parts of the world where there is war
Islam has had trouble progressing past 600 AD
oh and muslims want me dead
thats a big one
Islam hasn't changed which makes it true traditionalism maybe but then that becomes a question of why traditionalism is wrong
doing something simply because its tradition is dumb
tradition does not automatically mean good
there are plenty of bad traditions
also if we're discussing Islam then what Muslims do/subjectively want is irrelevant in this
Yes but traditionalism isn't necessarily bad
so do you think the killing of homosexuals and women who don't conver is wrong?
