"I forbid you, agnostic, doubting thoughts, to destroy the house of my faith."
Thomas S. Monson, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints AKA Mormon Church.
Sounds Anti-Reason, doesn't it?

Photo: Anti-Intellectualism from Darth Packer AKA President Boyd K. Packer of the LDS Church: “Some things that are true are not very useful”: Boyd K. Packer gave an eye-opening talk to Church Education System Instructors and faculty at a CES Symposium on the Doctrine & Covenants and Church History on August 22, 1981 entitled “The Mantle is Far, Far Greater Than the Intellect”. Packer said the following: “There is a temptation for the writer or the teacher of Church history to want to tell everything, whether it is worthy or faith promoting or not. Some things that are true are not very useful.”

Tithing: A 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?
Great question.

We agree Brother Kurtz
The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden, mysterious realm; on the contrary, it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life and by living in the here and now as fully and creatively as we can. ---Paul Kurtz

In 2001, the Dalai Lama answered the question of a girl in a Seattle school by saying that it is permissible to shoot someone with a gun in self-defense if that person was "trying to kill you," and he emphasized that the shot should not be fatal. Likewise Humanistic Mormons believe that violence is the last option, and one should have compassion for even one's enemies, even while defending the self.

Those that fight for "Truth" must have a belief that something like "Truth" exists at all. Objective Reason suggests there is such a thing as Objective Truth and the best means towards knowing the Objective Truth is via Reason and Science. If we forsake the search for Objective Truth, as some have done, we as the meaning givers lose something very unique to human beings which was and is the basi...
