You'll NEVER Guess What Research Revealed About THIS Church!

[@RacerRed]

I’m sure this one makes a lot of people uncomfortable. It’s hard to tell this stuff in chronological order while riding but I did my best! I lost a handful of subscribers already, who I would be willing to bet were really nice people. I would invite you to accept the criticism(not of you but of the church), and counter it. It’s not said with any kind of bad intentions.

Ah yes, the road into Payette! Driven that road many times!

Couldn't agree more with most of this as a fellow "Christian in the Church of 2-stroke Blue Smoke"... BUT Merry Christmas to all!! AND I miss those Kings stores! Love that orange/red brick old house as you're coming into town! Thanks for the tour. CHEERS!!

[@RacerRed]

Ah man, I miss KINGS. I used to go get gross marathon protein bars there as a kid. I can’t even remember what they are called now, but I still remember the gross bar that looked like it was squeezed from a tub and smashed into a rectangle shape.

😆 this is funny. I know you are an atheist my friend. I just think the universe is way too big not to have a creator somewhere within it.

[@gastonbelanger5346]

​@@RacerRed If there is an almighty creator it must be a sadistic entity. ~Qualifying Creative Quality~ O how I wish there was a real good God Helping us survive Earths bacterial sod Ministering to all through sweet dreams With a encouraging morality that gleams Supplying a mortal frame that will not rot Having hemoglobin that will not brain clot Bones that bend rather than break in a fall A body that can endure any reality all in all This God won’t condone bacteria’s & viruses He would be with us through any bad crises The great God would not allow religious wars He will not accept humans dying by the score Crime and corruption is not his mental making Persons would be real in heart without faking A real God needs not churches, clergy & prayer If he did it right, we would treat each other fair Using truth, beauty, goodness and loving service A visible God can keep folks from being nervous He must have a working universe administration To detour big Meteorites from Earths devastation His celestial workers could regulate the Suns heat And stop the worlds wobble, keeping the orbit neat I’m just a puny fragile skin & bones evolving mortal And have the commonsense in seeing a better portal Boiling reality down to a usable tangible conception We’re that freewill choice person called God in action Reality goes at the speed of choice, that be understood Quality thoughts will evolve this world so it's really good Shit I wish there was a really good God from everyone Helping each other survive by tilling Earths sod for fun We could actualize our sweet dreams through ministry Our moral code would express a higher creative dynasty Happiness and contentment would exemplify good health Religions no longer create the poor, we would have wealth Fear gossips, deity myths, and stupid superstition expelled We Earthlings can enjoy life from good thoughts propelled ~Gasser Classic~

Joseph Smith nearly castrated for sleeping with a 15 year old girl: According to Luke Johnson, Marinda's older brother, on March 24, 1832, "a mob of forty or fifty" came to the Johnson house, forced their way into Joseph's room in the middle of the night, and Carnot Mason dragged Joseph out of bed by the hair of the head; he was then seized by as many as could get hold of him and taken about forty rods from the house, stretched on a board, and tantalized in the most insulting and brutal manner; they tore off the night clothes that he had on, for the purpose of emasculating him, and had Dr. Dennison there to perform the operation; but when the Dr. saw the Prophet stripped and stretched on the plank, his heart failed him and he refused to operate. He was beaten and tarred and feathered, and left in the woods instead. Edit: This was even before Fanny Alger. Still, despite this incident, he went on to sleep with prepubescent girls and start the practice of polygamy solely for this purpose.

There are religions of god and relationship with God. Two totally different paths. Prov. 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge."

[@RacerRed]

@@frostbitevinnie this is 100% correct. Your relationship has nothing to do with any hierarchy structures.

[@MOTOCREEK]

I’ve always liked church people, but I have never liked the church. I should probably thank god a little more often than I do for that.

[@RacerRed]

@@MOTOCREEK I agree! I like church people but the church itself (depending on which one) is a money making giant. In the case of the LDS church, it has an estimated one hundred billion dollars or more sitting in an account. They use only a fraction of 1% of income to help people in need. It’s something like .003% or something like that. I know Calvary Chapel utilizes all of their income to either help people or build churches. It’s a big difference.
