It amazes me at how misunderstood

I thought you were about to refer to another monthly visitor.

wait, you guys don't do hell, do you?

not the same way. We believe in spirit prison for those who don't repent of their sins here. But we also believe Jesus opened up the preaching to those spirits (1 Peter 3:19 and 1 Peter 4:6). So even they can be forgiven and saved. Some will still reject the Gospel and will have to suffer for their sins but even they at some point will have paid the price and will eventually inherit a kingdom of glory, but not the highest where God dwells. And then there is Outer Darkness as well but the qualifications for that are not easy to meet.

With my wife, there isn't a problem. The 14 year old, OTH, is a whole 'nuther story.

Is there any hope of finding a single religion thread devoid of bodily function?

With testosterone flowing? No way.

I was thinking that as well. I hate when the home teachers come!

Most people don't have a problem with your beliefs. It is when you try to shove them down someone elses throat and carry yourself as better than others.

It depends. I don't have a problem with the people, only with the attitude they are sometimes taught by their preachers. I have no problem with others who believe something different or even if they think my beliefs are wrong.

Yes we do. We have same Evangelical view of heaven and hell.

I never made an attempt to declare whether it was in or out of harmony with the gospel to maliciously or even inadvertently imply LDS are more worthy than non-LDS and even that it is a natural fruit of being the true church, only that it's done widespread from top to bottom of LDS church membership.
