I don't know if any of you watch SNL anymore but on the weekend update skit they have been doing a piece where they slam on people or things that are just so fundamentally stupid with the response of 'Really!?". There are numerous example from the TSCC;

Joseph translated the BOM out of a hat using a seer stone- Really!?
Native americans are actually jews and upon conversion their skin lightens- Really!?
BKP "Not everything that is true is useful."- Really?!

The list goes on and on, I'm sure everyone here can write a book of these. I wrote this little rant because I'm tired and frustrated with the absent of logic some people display in TSCC. As much as I respect their right to choose their personal beliefs I find it irritating that they've spent the same amount of time and deliberation deciding on McDonald's or Burger King as they have finding their God. If this is really your eternal life they why not take some time actually putting in effort to study.

If I planned on buying a high end item such as a car, house, or big screen TV, you had better believe that I would speak with more than one dealership, realtor, or salesperson. Not only would I speak with them directly but I would do online research from independent groups, from all the individual companies that supply the products, and I would talk to people that have prior experience with whatever I planned on buying. I'm just doing that much work for 'earthly items' and yet people are so casual about their personal religion which usually happen to dictate massive portions of their life. I just needed to vent, thanks for listening.

If you don't have sex with me, that angel over there that you can't see will get me with his flaming sword. ---- Really.

Remember how most people laughed when Oral Roberts said that God would kill him if he didn't get $8 million donated? Imagine where we would all be if Helen Mar and everyone else had just laughed at Joseph in scorn, and walked away?

Yeah, but it would have been even better if Emma Smith had said, "Gold plates? Angels? Stop trying to get out of work and go plant some damn crops!" Could've nipped the whole thing in the bud.
