All Society members should not only deepen their knowledge but also to broaden it. Knowledge is humanity's true path to "salvation."If humanity is to grow, constant learning is the route that individual member of the human race should take so that knowledge may increase exponentially. The increase in learning will result in increased satisfaction and happiness for each individual that takes this route.

James Edward Nickels Jr Faith should always be tentative and based on an observation of facts as currently shown. If these facts change, faith must be reevaluated in leu of the new material. To have faith in something science or reason has shown to be wrong is total idiocy! Unfortunately, we have quite a number of idiots living today. They should be pitied and not hated.

Alan Hunter I agree, for the most part, with Maher's statements about religion, but I think he is quite wrong about faith.
For example I have faith that humanity can find a way to live in peace and love, but the turning of Jesus' teachings into a religion based upon worshiping a fantasy birth and resurection is not the way to achieve it.

Brigham Young Sunday School Manual:
 In the Church’s Sunday School manual, Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young, the Church changed the word “wives” to “[wife]”.
Not only is the manual deceptive in disclosing whether or not Brigham Young was a polygamist but it’s deceptive in hiding Brigham Young’s real teaching on marriage: "The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy." – Journal of Discourses 11:269

James Edward Nickels Jr During the Anti-Gay hysteria, the LDS Church adopted the slogan, "Marriage is between one man and one woman." I wonder what Brigham Young would have thought about this. To him marriage was between one man and as many women as he could get.

Jonathan Brown In 1863, Young reported that he said, "Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so." (Journal of Discourses, vol. 10, p. 110)....all the rest of the quotes can simply be found using a simple google search. Have you not heard this before?

Todd Barcodious Eckenfelder @Jonathan.....yes, indeed Joseph Smith did say some very "racist" language, using our current (2013) ear as a barometer -however, my point is he was far more progressive at the time than his successor was -and, one of the most progressive prominent white thinkers in the country at the time, on race, socio-economics, and education. My comment was not so much to suggest everything Joseph said was correct, simply that it is interesting and sad, the church took a step backwards at that time, and negatively influenced generations of members, and non-members.

Tithing: I find the following quote in the December 2012 Ensign very disturbing:
“If paying tithing means that you can’t pay for water or electricity, pay tithing. If paying tithing means that you can’t pay your rent, pay tithing. Even if paying tithing means that you don’t have enough money to feed your family, pay tithing. The Lord will not abandon you.”
Would a loving, kind, empathic God really place parents in the horrible position of having to choose whether to feed their children or pay what little they have to a multi-billion megamall owning Church that receives an estimated $8,000,000,000 in annual tithing receipts?

Bart Tippetts
Christian humanism has its roots in the traditional teaching that humans are made in the image of God, or in Latin the Imago Dei, which enhances individual worth and personal dignity. This found strong biblical expression in the Judeo-Christian attention to righteousness and social justice. Its linkage to more secular philosophical humanism can be traced to the 2nd-century, writings of Justin Martyr, an early theologian-apologist of the early Christian Church. While far from radical, Justin suggested a value in the achievements of classical culture in his Apology.[2] Influential letters by Cappadocian Fathers, namely Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nyssa, confirmed the commitment to using preexisting secular knowledge, particularly as it touched the material world.
