Life after death. Yes or no?
TommyNIK comments on Sep 9, 2018:
No. By all logic, there can be no part of the body that lives on after death.
LenHazell53 replies on Sep 9, 2018:
Exactly, personality is a function of the brain, saying it continues after death is like declaring that every time you turn off your TV set a part of it continues showing programs in some ethereal phase space.

@Paul4747 It is far dafter than that, especially after the church was forced to reveal a few years ago that all the golden plates rubbish was a lie and Smith actually translated the book of Mormon using a magic peepstone that he also used for treasure hunting.
Smith would sit with his head in his hat reading and translating from the stone that glowed in the depths. apparently he never needed the plates at all (shocker).
The three heavens stuff does not come from the book of Mormon but from another LDS scripture called the Book of Abraham.
Smith got this one years later and translated it from "sacred Egyptian papyri " he bought from a travelling Mummy show.
These Papyri still exist and have been authenticated by modern Egyptology as being nothing of the sort, they are in fact common funerary texts from the second century AD and have nothing to do with Abraham, the Star Kolob (where god lives) or the three heavens known as the telestial (for non Mormon riff raff), terrestrial (for poor Mormons) and celestial (for super duper Mormons who have paid enough tithing) kingdoms. The church gets around this by saying Smith made an inspired translation not a direct one, despite having Smith's translation diary and lexicon)

Don't Pay The Ferryman
It was late at night on the open road,
Speeding like a man on the run,
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey;
He is closer now and the search is on,
Reading from a map in the mind,
Yes there's the ragged hill,
And there's the boat on the river.
And when the rain came down,
He heard a wild dog howl,
There were voices in the night, "Don't do it!"
Voices out of sight, "Don't do it!
Too many men have failed before,
Whatever you do,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Don't even fix a price,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Until he gets you to the other side"
In the rolling mist, then he gets on board,
Now there'll be no turning back,
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder,
And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared,
And people calling out his name,
And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned
On the water.
And then the ferryman said,
"There is trouble ahead,
So you must pay me now, " "Don't do it!"
"You must pay me now, " "Don't do it!"
And still that voice came from beyond,
"Whatever you do,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Don't even fix a price,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Until he gets you to the other side;
Don't pay - the ferryman!"

@Matias I know it is from the 19th century I own a copy and have read it several times, it *is* a respected historical treatise, *is* still quoted and used today and *is* still thought of as an in depth examination of the history of and evolution of religion world wide, it's purposes and foundations in superstition, influences on secular government and cultural impact both universally and individually.
It is not an insult to point this out to someone when they dismiss a major work of scholarship as "a huge compilation of religious myths" A title better applied to the Scriptures of this world.
Saying "The Golden Bough is from the 19th century. Don't you think that research about the origins of religions has made some progress during the last 120 years? " Is comparable to claiming "Origin of the species" is a work from 1859 and so has no baring of the study of evolution today, because so many people have built on it and it is never quoted now.
**Twaddle.**
I recommend it to anyone seriously trying develop an understanding of the pernicious entanglement of religion in to government, the psychology of religious gullibility and the power of Priesthood, be it religious, shamanistic, or sorcerous.
As for insults, to paraphrase the old maxim "If it talks like a blatherskite, writes like a blatherskite, then chances are what you are reading are the prattling pontifications of a blatherskite."

@icolan It doesn't. There are endless stories of Missionaries demanding back their passports and being refused, in order to give them time to "reconsider" (Being a bastard seems to be a job requirement for a mission President).
One Guy I knew of made friends with a Solicitor under the guise of being an investigator who turned up at the Mission presidents office with two police men in tow, the President claimed not to know the combination of the safe, then claimed the mission center was sovereign Utah soil and that the UK police had no authority there and only when he was arrested gave the lad his passport back, but still refused to let him leave claiming to be his legal guardian. Fortunately in the UK 18 is the age of adulthood so could not stop him.
Even when the missionary arrived at the airport an area 70 was waiting to confront him with the missionariy's father on the phone, the 70 had told his dad the boy was being kidnapped, when the truth came out the father told his son to come home and bawled out the 70.
There are endless stories, Mormons especially those in authority think the are subject only to church law (lore?) and can ignore secular law.
Another elderly couple I knew in a face book ex Mormon site who were serving a mission in Africa became involved in a kidnapping attempt, their car was driven off the road and both were badly injured, thekidnappers decided they were dead and left them. They were not dead and some tiem later were found and taken to hospital.
The church paid their hospital bills and sent them home.
The wife got home and her husband went back in to hospital in the US.
She was devastated and he died five years later from his injuries, she spent those last years fighting in court against the LDS church after they sent her an invoice for $50,000 for air fare home and African hospital fees and ending their mission early, then foreclosed on them when they refused to pay, even though they had taken out insurance with the church before leaving.

@freeofgod In November two years ago the first presidency of the church release a proclamation that if you are the child of a married or cohabiting gay couple, you can no longer undergo baptism at the age of eight as every other child can, even with parental permission. Children of gay people, even if they are not homosexual in and of themselves, can only become church members if
1) they are 18 or over
2) they do not live in their parents home
3) They disavow their parents as living in a sinful and counterfeit life style.
You may be a member of the church (LDS) and gay if you live a celibate life style, agree being gay is a sin you are suffering from (they call it SSA same sex attraction syndrome) and at least attempt to get married and have children so that god will cure you.
In the month of December following this announcement the number of young people committing suicide in Utah rocketed to 144 and has slowed only slightly since, prompting one venerable late member of the quorum of the twelve to comment it was maybe just as well as god was more likely to for give suicide than gayness.
The overall rate of suicide in Utah is higher thn any other state and is second only percentage wise to Sweden, but considering that the population of Sweden is only about a fifth of the population Utah, the over all numbers are much higher.
Gay people top the list, followed by married women (usually overdosing on anti-depressants), married men (many of who admit that living in denial of being gay is their reason for taking their own life), transsexuals, plural wives (among the fringe cults) and children under the age of sixteen for undisclosed reasons.
The demographic with the lowest rate of suicide is the small openly atheist community.

That aside I agree consciousness raising is fine, and it has happened in my life time, sex discrimination act, the race relations act etc, but this today is victim mentality, people in privilege crying because they are being asked to be equal, blaming others to absolve themselves from responsibility for the rigors of ordinary life, wanting their share of sympathy for being an oppressed person, while sitting in a safe home, watching wide screen TV and sipping imported wine.
Our free speech is being eroded in the name of liberty, our free expression is sacrificed on the alters of hate speech, or quest for progress and perfection halted by the stumbling block of universal mediocrity and hurt feelings.

Were people stole bread and milk in the desire of going in to prison or a work house in the hope of a modicum of food?
Your hyperbole is ill informed and the product of a violent society where violence is the first reaction rather than the last resort.
A country where a dying person can be turned away from a hospital because they don't have the means to pay for a cure or humanitarian aid.
And in my country yes assistance is expected, because it comes from taxes we all pay, even those on welfare for that exact purpose to have a safety net to protect the unfortunate, the weak and the unable to know they will not starve or suffer because of the horror of a society without mercy, pity or compassion.

It is the situation where a service or retail outlet under pressure puts political correctness and virtue signalling ahead of economic realities and public demand then find the product or service they are offering is not wanted by even those who demanded it.
a prime example of this is the current plight of Marvel Comics where they are producing a plethora of comics no one buys, and despite demand from a public desperate for good comics written and drawn by competent artists and authors they dare not fire the feminazi staff they hired in a flurry of politically correct hiring of minority ethnicity and feminist creators based on their politics rather than their ability, nor can they ask them to produce the comics that will sell since to do so would be seen as misogynist, racist oppression.
In short there is a demand for a product they cannot meet, not for lack of resource but because to do so would be seen to be pandering to prejudiced opinions, yet those declaring this do not buy the product that is being produce at their insistence because they don't want it either.
If it were not for Marvel films and associated merchandising Marvel would be bankrupt, and yet the same is being threatened again.
Fortunately after the debacle with Solo a star wars story, and the subsequent huge financial losses, Disney are refusing to let this happen to their prize cash cow.

I always thought this film (Gump) was aptly named and you are correct, it is a call to obedience, conformity and unquestioning obedience.
Gump is the personification and epitome of the American dream, Gump, crippled by the leg irons of original thought and personality, casts them away to run free and work hard, do as he is told, not question, have blind faith in his leaders, become canon fodder and like him if you do all this you WILL become rich powerful and have everything you ever wanted (including a reformed version of a your whore girl friend who learning from your example will come back to the fold, even if she does dump off a child on you who is obviously not yours.)
It is a horrible film, and even the icon parts of the movie are not original to it but are script doctored in by Clement and La Frenais in a style so obviously at odds with the over all feel of the film the stick out like a sore thumb.

LenHazell53 replies on Aug 28, 2018:
Catholicism unlike most religions and denominations insists on celibacy for it's celebrants and clergy.
This in itself is not unique, however Catholics thrive on sin, sin and the atonement for sin are the life blood of the church.
Not only must a Catholic priest, monk, nun or curate be celibate, they must not masturbate it is a sin, they must not indulge in homosexuality, it is a sin, they must not have involuntary emissions, it is a sin, they must not even desire sexual release, it is a sin, they must not lust, it is a sin they must be pure in act, word, thought and deed, to do otherwise is a sin.
The pressure on catholic clergy is tremendous, how ever they are also command to follow in the ways of Christ, to love Christ, to act as the representative of Christ and ultimately this imitation of Christ stumbles upon Luke 18:16 and Matthew 19:14
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
combine this with
Matthew 25:40-45
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
and a warped mind and sexually frustrated body finds a twisted justification for "loving" children in order to love god.
After a few decades of the church covering up and forgiving these "indiscretions" the perverts begin to see that the only way to live such a depraved life and remain safe is to join the church, in short freedom to indulge paedophilia becomes a unique selling point for recruiting priests in to the RC.
A twisted evil doctrine in a twisted evil organisation will attract and facilitate twisted evil people.

So if you belonged to an organisation and you discovered that it had been secretly for centuries protecting, enabling and hiding child abusers you could in good conscience continue to be an active fee paying member of that organisation and consider yourself "decent"?
This the situation you are describing as not black and white.
"Oh yes I know they have caused untold misery, broken the laws of decency, driven children to suicide, broken the laws of every country they have ever been active in, BUT I quite like the singing so I'll ignore all that and keep identifying with them."
Tacit tolerance of child abuse is still Tolerance of child abuse and that makes the tolerating person as bad as the abuser in my opinion, how about you?

Here in Ireland there is a blasphemy law with penalties for breaking. There is a referendum on this taking place soon. Sad to see this superstitious nonsense still around. Words have magical powers!! What a crock.

I think that some of the blame should also fall on the parents who gave up their power so the preist had that much power.
LenHazell53 replies on Aug 26, 2018:
Especially if you consider that those same parents may have been victims of pervert Priests too, perhaps for Catholics this is seen as some sick rite of passage.

I give you free will to do evil, and I will stand by and watch you rape a child and then punish you later, but the child? Well I'll ignore him or her it will be character building for them.

He did not die on the cross because he has a prearranged signal for one of his followers was instructed to poison him with a catalytic drug.
Jesus yells out the first line of the 22nd psalm and someone gives him soured wine in a sponge on a stick (People don't often realize he was allowed to do that because to Romans it was a joke, a sponge on a stick, whetted with wine vinegar was the Roman equivalent of toilet paper .)
Jesus then "dies" and is punctured with a spear (rather than have his legs broken which was the normal way of hastening death) taken down and rapidly buried.
It was a plot, he never died, was simply saved and then hidden away or as some think sent to India.

@rovingamber Jesus made the Disciple John immortal, telling him he would never taste Death until he, Jesus, returned to the earth in spite of the objections of the other apostles, John 21:22 Jesus answered, "What is it to you, if I want him to live until I return? You must follow me."
In Mormon Scriptures, three others in the Americas (known as the three Nephites) were also granted the gift of life until such time as the second coming happens.
It is all bollocks but is used by the major religions as the excuse as to why Parousia has not happened yet, John is still alive so the prophesy is yet to be fulfilled.
