@NancyM3504 @ThatOneFunDude @GlenCherry33628 @devlij1 @IronwoodMills @elonmusk Not sure where I stand on the larger issue, but 1400 years divided by 1000 judges would be, wait for it... 1.4 years.

50 states. 20 judges each. That's about 1000 judges right there.

Math is funny like that.

@weserammon @PetGorilla I think that's one of his complaints. That we have also adopted many standard Christian hymns in our "abomination" of a church.

Personally, I'm grateful for all of the good that is clearly present in the broader and each specific Christian community.

@NathanKDay @SaltySisB @Mormonger Often times the insights we receive when studying the scriptures relate to these types of questions that one has spent time pondering. This is not "doctrine for the Church", but personal insights to help build our own testimonies and faith. We err when we treat it as doctrine.

@DonalJMurphy @PaineFulThought @DineshDSouza @realDonaldTrump That's not my point. I'm not saying everything they were fighting for was good. I'm saying they're are many aspects and many factors to consider. Those points you bring up actually make the case of states rights being more important as they would not be enforceable.

@pmhodgson @FisherJamie57 @DLoesch Unless you also have a seminar on the dangers of ecoterrorism, and far left extremism, then I vehemently disagree. Actually, I just disagree. We should all be connecting with our neighbors and having civil discourse anyway instead of forcing each other to listen to propaganda.

@Milnoc @GeorgeTakei @PaulCarr70 People being called "stupid Americans" was the reason so many came out and voted for such a person. Don't perpetuate the laziness that caused the knee jerk reaction of voting for Trump.

@JohnLasley @TonyGreene05 @DLoesch Regular people get pissed, that is true. But regular people don't kill people they're mad at. People that don't know how to control their emotions do. Even then, the percentage of those people is so small that it's basically negligible.

@evansmelanie8 @sianoresist Isn't church a place for sinners to go to get better? The Trump worship is appalling, but let's not turn away people from religion just because they aren't already perfect.

[Ben Madsen @benmadsen]

@EyeFilter @jellis21081 @d51mm43 @benshapiro No, but he is still bound by it. And that's the difference.

@jdfmart @Headspace @CurtBraz It's the same system that says "hey, we haven't seen you in a while. You should come back and enjoy another session with us soon!". Some engineer probably ran a test and was in the wrong environment.

@VeutifulConnor @TomiLahren See, that implies that I agree that my tax dollars should go towards the same thing you want. That is an incorrect assumption and is what equates taxation to theft.

HELP ME PLEASE. COORS FIELD NEEDS AN ORGANIST

@CESInstructor @MormonNewsroom @NelsonRussellM You had me until you brought up tithing as a negative to the poor. Even the widow gave of her mite in order to obtain the blessings of following the law of tithing. I think you may be misinterpreting the purpose behind the referenced actions.

[Ben Madsen @benmadsen]

@SisterMaristine @JennyFe16887003 @MormonNewsroom @NelsonRussellM That's because the world knows talking about sex is the best way to actually teach about sex... I think that's actually one thing the church could do more of is talk openly and frankly about sex.

[Ben Madsen @benmadsen]

@CESInstructor @MormonNewsroom @NelsonRussellM Actually, I believe this is a message to the members who carry the name of Christ with them every day. It's telling me to refocus and be serious about the name I take upon myself as a Christian. Many of the other issues would all but go away if we all did that.

[Ben Madsen @benmadsen]

@JacIsJake Find out what it means to me...

[Ben Madsen @benmadsen]

@Ethansm00 @AKarreon12 @AyindeMitchell @KTVU People tend more to actually listen to reasonable discourse rather than disruptive, disrespectful action.

[Ben Madsen @benmadsen]

@sarahgayle695 @KTVU Routine murder? What alternate reality are you living in? You're more likely to die from communicable disease from some parent sending a sick kids to school than die by a shooting at school. Get real...

@PleasantHill_CA Is there any way to turn the brightness of the new LED sign down a bit at night? It is very distracting when you are driving next to it. I do like the idea of having some sort of electronic display there, but the brightness seems a little dangerous at night.
