He may share many characteristics with the Mormon God, but he also differs in at least a few key aspects (e.g. His acceptance of your choice to divorce and find a male partner--the Mormon God would never countenance that).<br /><br />Ideally, I think, everyone ends up creating his or her own God--which is as it should be.Scott Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10650693452554752386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320046297313453232.post-36364221987402900452011-03-11T09:18:13.357-07:002011-03-11T09:18:13.357-07:00That’s like saying that if my daughter were a Utah...That’s like saying that if my daughter were a Utah fan and my son a BYU fan, I would disown my daughter and never communicate with her or help and support her. Where do Mormons (or members of any other religion) get the idea that God is partial to some of his children based on religion?<br /><br />Not being a respecter of persons, God loves and cares for all his children. (And I believe he is more concerned about how I treat my partner than that I have one.)<br /><br />Go BYU!Trey Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01566379266155595170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320046297313453232.post-79955660362572066282011-03-11T01:59:10.992-07:002011-03-11T01:59:10.992-07:00great story thanks for the posting I really impres...great story thanks for the posting I really impress and happy to after read this story.Romantisch Hotel Brugeshttp://www.dieswaene.be/noreply@blogger.com
