Why Do Atheists Criticize People's Beliefs?
RE: Why Do Atheists Criticize People's Beliefs?
In the Mormon discourse on the Trinity, the question of why the Holy Spirit does not have a physical body might arise.  Turns out even Brigham Young doesn't know the answer to that.

(It's a 'thing' in Mormonism to be a spiritual entity of sorts without a corporeal body as that has been revealed by God to be a punishment, and of course, there is a racial angle that arises since in the pre-life disembodied souls destined to become negroes were judged to be 'problem' and it's why they were subsequently denied the priesthood till the late 70s and were also pronounced as eligible for their own planets only after all the 'white and delightful' Mormons got their own planets first, BUT, the HOLY GHOST IS DEFINITELY NOT A NEGRO.  At least not till 1978, or there abouts . . . . . )


So, think twice before decrying jibing Mormons about aspects of their faith lest the rest of us think you're racist.

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
