@oracle I guess you're probably discussing it with me because you wonder if it would be immoral to go regardless. You do qualify as far as I know. I mean your moral standards are up to par. I'd talk to your bishop about whether he'd approve you going regardless of not holding any conviction, rather holding anti-conviction. It's possible, though unlikely, that if you'd be willing to set your anti-conviction aside, your bishop might see a mission as an opportunity for you to come to appreciate the faith in ways you haven't yet had the chance to experience, and he'd let you slip past the bar, so to speak. You could get the money, serve, hopefully grow as a person, etc. Thing is, if money is all you want you can just earn it, probably more quickly than it would take to serve a mission. If you did go, could you see any good coming of your service?
