Sorta. It was one of those middle school relationships for show.

 

Questions & Answers

If you ask any modern American religion, none advocate polygamy. But polygamy is something that is a part of all human history. One reason it's connected to religion is due to various interpretations of the bible, specifically about God's command to spread across the world and multiply. As well as many polygamist relationships represented in the bible.

But, I would agree with you that Mormons are Christian. Believe in Jesus = Christian.

And I also agree with your justification thing. But I broaden it to people in general - I hate when people use their title, label, given-beliefs, etc. to reason out or justify their actions.

I’m not picking on Christianity. Someone asked me specifically about it so I answered back. This same frame can be used for Islam too. I think it’s stupid that people hide behind faith or like you said, a title/label, to justify actions. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY*. 

*does not apply to suicide bombers… because they’re dead. 

 

Questions & Answers

The reason why Mormons aren't considered Christians, and this is what I vaguely remember being told by a Mormon friend, is that Mormons don't consider Jesus to be "The" messiah. Therefore, they aren't Christians, because that is the basis of all the Christian denominations.

I’m conflicted. 

1. This is veering WAY off my original point.
2. Mormons still include him in their teachings. His name is incorporated in the name of Churches. 

 

Questions & Answers

Sorry about that last question. I didn't read farther down where you said finals were over. What's it like to be on trimesters? Where I go to school, we're on semesters. And they're kind of ridiculous.

No problemo. Trimesters kinda suck. The classes end up feeling either too long or too short and I have to take 3 Midterms and 3 finals a year. 

 

Questions & Answers

mormonism does NOT support polygamy. the last case of polygamy justified by the LDS church occurred in 1800. these days, you can be excommunicated for practicing it. anyone who is a polygamist and claims to be mormon is just a crazy redneck.

i hate to sound all butthurt but i left the church years ago and it still rubs me the wrong way hearing about how mormonism "is cool with polygamy" all the time.

Questions & Answers

Mormons do (or did, things change) but they aren't Christians. and I know you don't mean that everyone does

Mormons aren’t Christians? What? From an outsider perspective, as long as God and Jesus are involved… BAM Christian. 

I’m talking REALLY broad. 

Back to the real point, Christians can believe in what they want but it’s unacceptable to use it as a way to justify their actions.

 

Questions & Answers

Thought it was part of Mormonism (could be wrong) but I’m talking about Christianity in a broad sense.

About Me [+]

Heading into finals weeks which means a load of stress. Luckily I have amazing friends and a great boyfriend to take my mind off it all. This week, school. Next week, cleaning up and packing for my vacation. I'm not sure when I'll be back exactly, but I'll hop on Tumblr as soon as I can.
