In Recognition of Wilted Mormon ...Mormon Symbology,<br />In Recognition of Wilted Mormon Dogmatology<br /><br />Darwin mutters when speaking of mormon matters.<br /><br />Hellmut, I want to recognize you as one who thinks, an upright knuckle-walking thinker.<br />I am personally grateful for your comment on Robert Millet; a "Dickensian Character" we both fear. <br />As a gentile, I'm not suppose to have a horse in this race but; As a native of the Northwest (Idaho), I know there have been influences on "our country" that Mormons insist upon at our peril. <br />Mormon Symbology: It's a myth that is symbolized by insisting on being the "most correct." <br />If science did business like Mormons, BYU could dig up the missing link, on campus, and there would be a collective shrug and it would be back to business as usual -- in "the Religion Making Business."<br /><a href="http://scari.org/mormon-hapless.html" rel="nofollow">http://scari.org/mormon-hapless.html</a><br /><br />I am disturbed that Mormons are slow to the gate, lathered and wild eyed, claiming to be mistreated by the other horses in the race. <br />Mormon Evolution would be to learn to let go of Joe. Learning to let go of Joe would move the Latter Day Saint into many other camps. If that were to be done, there wouldn't be problems with Symbols or Mormons. <br />You see it's about interpreting symbols but mostly it's about knowing which symbols have meaning worth interpreting and which ones are fluff.<br /><br />Gods are created and destroyed every day, look into the eyes of a dying child in Gaza or Iraq or Afghanistan. Their light goes out, snuffed by the vagaries of chance much like Darwin divined (he was a contemporary of Joseph Smith you know) the workings of his earth are nasty brutish and short for most. His, Darwin's thinking, has seemed to hold some water after all these years -- with no revisions to his visions.<br />Sniping: If Mormons feel persecuted they could look to Charles Darwin and wonder what stuff he was made of to endure and endure for the sake of all man kind, no heaven, a hellish existence to pass on to the next generation to repeat again and again until we arrive at this juncture. <br />The personal responsibility for the species, Homo Sapian Sapian, the individual and the planet is daunting but Joe Smith spoke nothing of this? For Joe it seemed to be a foggy marsh filled with revisions to visions. And now the dividend has compounded to the point where Robert Millet is suing for peace with the Evangelicals. "Bridging the Divide," is perhaps a bridge too far, or, there are just too few bridges to divide.<br />The Question: Is Rapture Readiness practiced properly to pierce the veil before the Evangelicals, if so Who Wins?<br />When it comes to revisions to visions, I bare my guilt looking for authentic symbology too, it seems to be a human failing.<br />Now: Mormons Unite to relearn the knuckle walk. Hitchens and Dawkins would find your discussion dodgy and would likely not suffer fools well but John Hagee of CUFI would love to find many more vessels half full -- Half Scrubbed and nearly Rapture Ready for the End-Time. Christians United For Israel may be the answer.<br />Israel means, Struggles with God. What country is named -- STRUGGLES WITH GOD? What do they do for a living in the land of Struggles with God?<br /><a href="http://scari.org/Mormon.Deconstruction.html" rel="nofollow">http://scari.org/Mormon.Deconstruction.html</a><br />Mormon Deconstruction<br />Seems like this Struggle With God has been going on for a long time and Mormons insist," it will require several hundred more years to get it right –– sorted out, for all time that is."<br />Gus O KahanGus O Kahanhttp://scari.org/mormon-hapless.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
