@pony Well it's not YOUR fault. I'm not hating someone for believing in... whatever you people believe in, it's just that I enjoy my Sundays WITHOUT trying to be converted, y'know? :p Although it's ok if you're Mormon or whatever, it's fine with me, just I don't like the fact that Mormons try to convert everyone constantly, you feel me?

@nixter Answer the door naked and covered in blood, with a goat head in your hand. They'll never bother you again.

@nixter myeah. I come from a community with lots of Jewish folks who absolutely hate being proselyted. I get where you're coming from xD

@nixter @ toksyuryel @nerthos I'm glad you feel that way. It's actually against our policy to force anyone to believe or think a certain way by arguing, etc., but we feel duty bound to actively offer a way of life to others that has brought us a lot of peace and joy. Methods vary obviously and some are very direct.

@nixter #latereply I had dinner and now I'm back. :) Lot's of emphasis on spending time together. Of course families are diverse as they are in any faith. I didn't grow up in one, but the ones I knew were typically large, like 4-5 kids or more and they paryed together at meals and went to church and spent at least one night per week together playing games since that's strongly encouraged.

@nixter yeah. I loved hanging out with my cousins' family. They were always really fun and kind. My wife's family was very quiet and much less social cause her father was a dictator though

@nixter yup. Anyway, friends' families were usually pretty cool. My church had a very active youth program and their parents were often in charge of activities and he had tons of fun

@nixter yeah. That's how most feel about it. I mean we have doctrines, ecclesiastical organization, and ceremonies, but really religion is something that you live if you believe in it
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:21:16 UTC from web-
@pony True, true. I learned about Mormons today, that's pretty cool I guess. That's for teaching me about Mormon culture! I would tell you about Atheist culture but... X) lol
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:25:58 UTC from web-
@nixter hehe* yeah. I've talked to many atheists. Italy has quite a few despite being predominantly Catholic. THat's where I served my mission
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:28:04 UTC from web-
@pony I've noticed that we Atheists are striving for the truth, no offence to other religions and stuff, but we are looking for something that makes sense to us. Well, that's what I see in most Atheists, anyway.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:32:07 UTC from web-
@nixter @abigpony Tehre's a point at which "Why" has no answer, not because there is none, but because it either hasn't been discovered or hasn't been revealed to us yet. I've found my belief system to make adequate sense, especially compared with others I've come across.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:35:03 UTC from web-
@pony I didn't ask that, but I am completely satisfied being clueless as to those things because finding the true reason behind those things is one of the reasons we still exist as a species I guess.
-
@abigpony I can tell you all about What, Who, When, and Where, but some of them may not have an official answer.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:42:07 UTC from web-
@pony i don't even know what we're referring to anymore.
-
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:54:54 UTC from web

@pony oh, yeah, they're silly as far as i know. I realize it'd probably take a while.
-
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 03:03:13 UTC from web
-
@pony i try to stay out of religion, but alright.
-
@abigpony Don't let me pressure you into anything. I just mean I'm happy to try and answer questions if you like
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 03:08:16 UTC from web-
@pony yeah, yeah, sure enough. Thanks i guess? I feel i should be thanking you for that.
-
@abigpony You're welcome. :) it just sounded like you wanted to ask things. If not that's cool. It's an open offer.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 03:13:35 UTC from web-
@pony yeah, not right now, though i am a bit curious. Maybe another time.

@nixter I feel similarly. Our church's beliefs are summed up officially in 12 articles. http://www.lds.org/library/display/0,4945,106-1-2-1,FF.html The last phrase is thus: "If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." Truth is certainly one of the things we seek after.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:38:51 UTC from web -
@nixter i think most athiests are just looking for truth and logic while we see religion as a grab bag of excuses.
-
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:43:24 UTC from web

@nixter athiest if that is considered a religion.
-
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:53:42 UTC from web

@nixter i really have a dislike for religion. I also don't get how atheism is considered a religion when it's more a lack of it. *shrug pony*

@abigpony Atheists don't believe in a God, just saying. I dislike religion, too. They are so flawed and stuff, I prefer sleeping in on Sundays, too. :)
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 03:01:14 UTC from web-
@nixter religion is lame, but whatever. I realize what atheism entails.

@pony Just wondering, what are the Mormon values of all the naturally controversial concepts among religions, e.g, divorce, abortion, homosexuality, meat eating, apostasy of family members, etc
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:45:37 UTC from web-
@purplephish20 Shun all the ponies!!! JUST KIDDING. xD There's a lot to answer just gimme a bit
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:47:50 UTC from web -
@purplephish20 Geez if I was up to talking about this I'd answer you.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:48:33 UTC from web-
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:50:07 UTC from web
-
@purplephish20 I'm not up to it. I can give you short answers.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:50:49 UTC from web
-
-
-
@purplephish20 We allow divorce and are very understanding when it's due to abusive partners, but otherwise it's frowned upon. We believe in abortion when medically necessary to save a mother's life or in the case of rape or incest, but otherwise it's frowned upon. Neither divorce nor abortion results in any disciplinary action as far as i know. (to be continued)
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:53:20 UTC from web -
@purplephish20 We're politically active against gay marriage and believe active homosexual practice is offends God, but we believe that we should be thier friends and hang out in social situations and show them we care about them, etc. just like we would want to be treated by those who disagree with us.. Our dietary code encourages us to eat meat sparingly, but most of us really aren't that strict about that. And family members who leave the church are supposed to be treated like any other family members.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 03:02:14 UTC from web-
@pony Sounds civilized enough.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 03:03:10 UTC from web -
@pony as much as I naturally disagree with a couple of those viewpoints, I admire the maturity you've shown in putting the points across
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 03:04:39 UTC from web-
@purplephish20 Yeah. years of practice :D

@pony so do you believe in mormon jesus and all?
-
@abigpony what's the difference between Mormon Jesus and regular Jesus? Not sure about the label there.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:12:19 UTC from web-
@pony http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46PXaJxzuDE&feature=youtube_gdata_player mormon jesus is obviously cooler.
-
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:18:29 UTC from web
-
@pony but seriously, why are mormon beliefs all weird and nonsensical?
-
@abigpony If you find a source from Mormon.org or LDS.org for me I'd be happy to explain it xD
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:24:57 UTC from web-
@pony well i had mormon friends who tried to tell me in the past, but even they couldn't fully grasp it.

@abigpony Of course i've seen the original video that's based on, and it's full of misinformation.. just FYI

@toksyuryel I'm just curious, and I won't be offended whether you answer yes or no.. Do you feel like I've tried to push my beliefs on you at all?
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 01:11:58 UTC from web-
@pony Yes.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 01:12:09 UTC from web -
@pony But I've tried to push mine on you too, so it evens out. :D
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 01:12:36 UTC from web-

@pony You didn't. You discussed them politely.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 01:12:52 UTC from web-
@nerthos We had most of our discussions about it over AIM. Those had a very different character from the discussions we had on site.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 01:20:45 UTC from web-

Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:51:06 UTC from web -
@woona Thank you. You made me feel better by showing up. I was kinda crying and stuff.

@abigpony Nope its too long.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 03:01:58 UTC from web-
@foxgopher no it's not. What are you cutting in that's shorter than that?
-
@abigpony stuff. I don't feel like telling you. Because honestly I know you're laughing at my stupidity and I really appreciate that. I really do.

@woona Yes.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 02:58:26 UTC from web -
@woona I'm fine physically. Yes. Mentally not really.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 03:01:17 UTC from web -
@woona atheism is just as ignorant as any organised religion in my books.... Agnostic FTW, "nothing spiritual can be proven or disproven"
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 03:01:41 UTC from web -
@woona We just think there isn't a God, you can believe that there is no God but believe that Science is bull, and that we are all here because of Aliens, just we believe in no God, but after that we think what we want too.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 03:03:18 UTC from web -
@woona the lack of a belief in god is pretty much the only mutual belief among athiests, they just tend to believe in that stuff i guess.
-
@woona Probably. Though probably for different reasons.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 03:03:50 UTC from web -
@hoit21 That's idiotic "nothing exists" zealots. It's like saying all christians burn witches and heretics.

@woona Idk. Its most likely not a good thing,.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 03:07:13 UTC from web -
@hoit21 Oh well, yeah, there are lots of idiots in the demographic.
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 03:07:54 UTC from web -
@woona @foxgopher if you two really are discussing the fact that you cut, I'm whole heartedly on my knees begging you to stop here, there is NOTHING that can be improved by doing that, no matter what the problem is
Saturday, 25-Aug-12 03:08:06 UTC from web-
@purplephish20 If you asked me I couldn't tell you why I did
