So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh

More batshit crazy? Mandatory baptism. Attendance is one thing. You can always show up and sleep. Baptism, however...

Mandatory baptism would be less of a burden. I was baptized, so I would not have to do anything in the future to satisfy that. But having to go to church every Sunday would be a bother. If I did have to go to church every Sunday, I would look for one that had a good organ and some good music, but even with that, I would rather not be required to go.

You said more crazy, not more burdensome. Expecting to baptize people against their will, I believe, qualifies.

I see what you did there lol.

That lawmaker is walking a fine line towards possibly ending her political career. She just took five gallons of crazy and tried to squeeze it into a two gallon bucket. I had to laugh when I read that article. Makes one wonder what she's been smoking.

I show up with a trick at Mormon Temple and start doing the nasty (after getting our attendance sheet stamped) it might be good for me, and informative for the Mormons.

Haha. Check out the requirements for a Temple Recommend... It will blow your mind... I don't think there is one Mormon who actually follows all the requirements to enter the temple...

As far as this lady... She is a quack...

BTW: Moderator I had made a duplicate post of this in the "New's and Activism Forum... Can I get that one deleted. My apologies I should have looked over the forum before posting.
