what the fuck is the point of a mormon ?
Trauma-san:
Oh, I forgot to mention in case you didn't catch it. The whole purpose of the 'book of mormon', is that it's an un PERVERTED record of what Christ said when he was ressurrected. It was buried all the time that the Catholic Church was destroying and perverting things, so when it was 'unearthed', it's supposed to be an accurate representation of what Christ's true words, as pervertedly twisted in the new testament, were. So you get a lot of things where Christ says one thing in the new testament, but in the book of mormon, he says something similar that's slightly different. So with the old testament, the new testament, and the book of mormon, you get three different stories that you can use to determine god's will and etc.
I'm not saying it's true or not, you'll have to read it and decide for yourself, just saying what the reasoning was behind it.

You sound very enthusiastic about it, so why did you decide to quit being a Mormon?
big mat:
christian dont believe in noah, it's a just a beautiful legend like their are so many others in the old testament. The truth is in the new testament. Maybe it's true that a man found a book, but jesus himself was drinkin wine ( he changed water in wine remember). So why
mormons refuse alcohol? And the bible dont promulgate polygamy. But i dont care about them, i'm not very religious, just like to argue about this shit. And yo, they can baptise me whenever they want, but i dont want to reach that third level shit, i'd rather spend my time in heaven with biggie and 2pac than ghandi and mother theresa

Wasn't for me, it wasn't how I was raised, and I didn't feel I was going there for the right reasons.
To the other guy, they don't believe that you can't drink wine. They just choose not to. It stems from a meeting that the mormon presidency had back in the 1830's where afterwards, Smith's wife was cleaning up the huge mess they had left at a dinner table. Alcohol everywhere spilt on the floors, tobacco juice all over everything, etc. so Smith prayed about it since his wife was so upset at the mess. He says that God told him that he should tell the people that a wise man would not drink alcohol, smoke tobacco, or drink tea, because all three are harmful to your body. So he released it as a 'word of wisdom' from the lord. Most mormons don't drink alcohol or tea, or smoke, because they see it as a simple enough thing to give up. At the time, when Smith said that, it wasn't common knowledge that tobacco was harmful to you, and it's still not common knowledge that tea is although there are mixed reports.
