WOTM: Leading From Behind
A god/God who changes his mind/policies is neither all-knowing nor all-good. In fact, He's cruel — especially to those who came before the change.
I guess I missed it somehow, but Mormonism softened its policies towards homosexuals and their children last year. I predicted such a thing back in 2014. But what a lack of transcendence. And what a lack of compassion from a supposedly all-knowing god. Think about it — He knew he would change his mind, but he still let the people who came before suffer with the older policies which lacked the new-found compassion and empathy. Or in the case of Mormonism's racism, basic human decency.
Why is God always the last to figure things out? Especially when it comes to morality!
Thanks again for all your support, and please, enjoy!!! B

LOL "I don't like to say I told you so; I love it more than anything". So true, and so prescient of you. Such a good feeling when that happens.
It probably seems intuitive to you and me that from "why is God always the last to figure things out" to "the evidence actually suggests that the particular God you worship couldn't exist" is a short leap of realization... but that realization isn't automatic for all. Pointing out these inconsistencies to a believer doesn't seem take them to what you and I might assume is the conclusion (that this particular God couldn't exist as described). Bridging that gap takes courage and an ability to admit that one was wrong about one's God belief. For most, it seems, it's much easier to ignore and deflect, or say that all we're doing is criticizing.
I consider watching your videos is a basic component of a strong self-education. #autobrydact
The backslide boys. Nice
The god is eternal and unchanging, except for, oh, everything.
Hell, they not only "lead from behind," but sidestep, twist, distract while still clinging to their behind. Abandon polygamy? Hardly. They still practice it, but not simultaneously: just sequentially. They still believe it is a mandate for the Celestial Kingdom, and in fact their current prophet is sealed to be with two wives in the hereafter, since his first wife died and he later remarried. Of course, women… naw… they will only have one husband after death. No equality of the sexes there! Hahaha! And talk about "behind": when will the cult finally catch up to the scientific evidence that has clearly shown after 2 centures that the Nephites never existed. When Outer Darkness freezes over?
Spot on !!! Claiming to have prophets who neither prophesy, nor see, nor reveal and who continue to lead from behind on almost every social issue of our time is ludicrous. At some point, every honest member of the Church, formerly known as Mormon, has to look at the lack of evidence to support any of the claims an acknowledge it is all a fraud and a con.
