@Venu_7_ Just be sure he has proper oversight in his personal relationships and this is a trump card.

@AreYouEstyWhy @farmingandJesus @AreYouEstyWhy your thoughts

[EsotericThoughts @Esoteric_Though]

@AreYouEstyWhy @farmingandJesus The point of difference between Protestants and Catholics is not Christian faith though, it's over a reformation movement to change church structure and practices.

LDS is a completely different category of movement, rejecting the premise of the Christian faith as incomplete.

[EsotericThoughts @Esoteric_Though]

@TrevorWell99973 @ArizonaMike__ Naive LDS members who only believe Jesus is their savior and don't understand much else about LDS are also Christians.

Christians in a dangerous place, but Christians.

[EsotericThoughts @Esoteric_Though]

@farmingandJesus @AreYouEstyWhy Actually, you are right to die on the hill of your savior, in his embrace and promise, and call on others to do the same.

While I do believe there are people who will be saved who you don't agree with, there's no reason to turn you away from your position.

[EsotericThoughts @Esoteric_Though]

@farmingandJesus @AreYouEstyWhy Well I believe in Christ alone for my atonement, but also believe in following his commandments.

The sharp doctrinal differences between the RCC teaching and most protestant denominations are far beyond most believers in that regard, I see the same in Mormons.

[EsotericThoughts @Esoteric_Though]

@farmingandJesus @AreYouEstyWhy Do they all? I don't know much about that. I knew a bunch of young mormons in highschool and have debated with a couple since who didn't seem to know much.

Is it like an age thing?

[EsotericThoughts @Esoteric_Though]

@farmingandJesus @AreYouEstyWhy They're very similar to Catholics in that regard, they believe in Jesus "and also the church says we have to do x and y and z"

I suspect there's a decent portion of lay Mormon's who are saved believers in Christ.

[EsotericThoughts @Esoteric_Though]

@farmingandJesus @AreYouEstyWhy I do differ with you here Lizzie, in that most Mormon's I've met can't even describe what Mormon's believe beyond "Jesus is our savior"

In an ironic way, for various reasons, the vast majority of Mormons seem to be "accidentally Mormon" as I'd put it and just believe in Jesus.

[EsotericThoughts @Esoteric_Though]

@AreYouEstyWhy @farmingandJesus LDS are a rejection of the Christian gospel and the orthodox teachings of the past 2000 years.

They're a stronger rejection of Christianity than the reformation was of Catholicism.

@EConjunctures @adama89268 @SCShipyards "Should we end this war in a couple days for a couple hundred thousand lives? Or in a few years for a few million lives?"

The men making those decisions had a lot going on

[EsotericThoughts @Esoteric_Though]

@NotTheirScript I'm curious as to what would happen if everything were shared (a la socialism) and we held citizens accountable (a la meritocracy/capitalism).

Imagine a nation where the ruling government were actually a corporation and all citizens were shareholders and employees, for example.

[EsotericThoughts @Esoteric_Though]

@MaybeGrungus This is the best thing I've seen on the internet all week.

And you're competing with Jensen Huang.

[Maybe Grungus Once Again @MaybeGrungus]

No, I don't hate retards.

Some of my closest friends are retarded.

Hell, I'm retarded.

[EsotericThoughts @Esoteric_Though]

@Polymarket For people who understand how this works and are frustrated that democrats have no idea what they're doing or what they're trying to regulate...

That's also how informed gun owners feel when democrats regulate those.

[EsotericThoughts @Esoteric_Though]

@theologyroom @farmingandJesus A very rational wartime strategy. If Sun Tzu wrote this everyone would love it.

[EsotericThoughts @Esoteric_Though]

@SCShipyards So, I'm a little out of touch.... Which startrek is this?

[EsotericThoughts @Esoteric_Though]

@farmingandJesus I should've said Roman Catholic 😂

[EsotericThoughts @Esoteric_Though]

@SantaDecides Say what's up to heat miser for me, that's my boy.
