Do you ever wish you were a Moron?

    Is your bullsh*t meter always cranked up to overdrive these days? I'm a happy enough guy but I find I get somewhat irritated reading of the faith people have in their belief systems, even outside of the dubs. I'm not trying to be condecending with this post at all. What I'm saying is if you can't really put faith in a God based on evidence is it worth it just to create one in your mind to use as a crutch? And how does one go about doing this? And to the true believer's, can you imagine a world where no caring God exists? Is it really that bad?

    GBL - I am starting to honestly not care about God at all. I just figure whatever happens will happen. I have a lot of theories about God and his plan. But so does everyone else, no one really knows what happens when we die. So I just say screw it I'm gonna live a happy life and when it's over I'll find out what's next.

    I've been pondering over the same questions lately, and see your point.

    I have strong faith in my belief system. I believe that people or organizations will not hesitate to screw me over if I give them the opportunity. I am especially wary when people profess to 'have religion'. If there is such a thing as a "caring god" I have yet to meet his followers. Most of the caring people I've known in my life had no belief in god, but they had personal principles and ethics.

    I WAS a moron when I was a dub! You had to be to function there. You checked your brain at the door.

    Yes sometimes it would be much easier to be blissfully ignorant

    No. I found that whole thing about Joseph Smith seeing Jesus stuff to be hard to believe. Plus... I'm not a big fan of the Osmonds.

    Nope.

    At the end of the day I love my faith - I class myself as a complete fool and idiot but that is not a reason to cast aside my moral, ethical, spiritual compass and start from scratch. Everything about me is coloured by the Mormon crayon and I really like the shade - I think I'm nicer, fitter, smarter, more balanced , honester person and more appreciative of what this life really means because of my beliefs. Ya can all reject deity, Mormons, JWs etc... I don't care I got me some colouring (note the correct Adamic, pre flood spelling of colour:-) to do.
