Mormons raise $110,000 for wife and children of Church shooter

Nicest cult in the world

Moose Limbs would impregnate Mormons wife’s if they could have the chance.

Well the mormans don't have race pimps who know what information to get out there to get people worked up and ready to open up their wallets.

Their incentive for being good is that they are gods in the making and will have their own planets and such. Good is fake as this is like being a hostess at Applebees for a minute while you’re becoming an equal to God the father and look at Jesus and satan as actual brothers

Are you a Christian, if you don’t mind me asking? If so, doesn’t the idea of heaven work in a similar way? Live righteously now, receive paradise later? The details on what paradise will entail differ, but paradise sounds pretty fricking good in either scenario.

You’re welcome to debate Mormons on theology, of course, but doesn’t criticizing their logic in this way mirror the exact same arguments atheists use against Christian morality (ie. morality is subjective, absent biblical teachings)?

If Mormon morality is fake because it promises reward, how do you square that with the Bible’s own reward structure?

I get that you want to draw a hard line between Christianity and Mormonism, but the incentive structure looks the same. Both tie belief and behavior to a future reward. Heaven in your case, planets or whatever the frick in theirs. With either one it’s still “obey now, get paid later.”

The problem is that if you dismiss Mormon morality as fake because it’s reward-driven, then you’ve also dismissed the standard Christian argument (used on this board all the time, check the 'afterlife' threads) that morality itself comes from Christianity. If morality can’t rest on reward, then the promise of heaven doesn’t make Christian morality any more “real” than theirs.

Either both systems are incentive-based, or you have to concede that morality can exist apart from eternal reward. Which undercuts the claim that it only comes from Christianity.Which is fine but you have to willing to concede that to support the argument that the guy I responded to made.

Donny Osmond will do a benefit concert soon.

wo younger mormons stopped by to proseletyze. I told them I wasn't interested and then they helped me with the fence for 2 hours

Tbh, I'd much rather build a fence than go knocking door to door annoying people. Sounds like they found a way to get out of "work".

Your very first sentence is completely incorrect.

Christianity is not incentive based.

Good works dont get you into Heaven, and in fact, God looks upon them as filthy rags.

Christianity is based upon Jesus Christ, and we He did for us, not what we do for ourselves.
