Computers, Moving, and Bad People

After three weeks of silence, I'm finally back. I've had a lot happen in the last few weeks.

First of all, ALL of my computers went tits up on me at the same time. I had to ship my laptop to Texas to get repaired and I had to buy a totally new desktop.

On top of that, I moved. That's right, I am now officially separated from my TBM wife of almost 12 years. Fortunately, we still talk and are actually good friends. But we have both agreed that it's time to move on.

I need the freedom to live the childhood that I missed, thanks to LDS, Inc. My wife needs the freedom to be away from the evil influence that I always provide. The children seem to be handling it all quite well.

I was browsing a book store at the Valley Fair Mall today. This bookstore has a lot of old Mormon books. One book that I saw was entitled: The Fate of the Persecutors of the Prophet Joseph Smith. It's an expensive book but I would just love to get my hands on that and read it. I wonder what type of bullshit the author drummed up.

You see, even if the so called persecutors did have horrible deaths, that doesn't mean a damn thing. Mormons think that god severely punished them for their sins against Joseph Smith and the kingdom. But if a horrible death is only for bad people who oppose Mormonism, then why do good people, even faithful Mormons, sometimes die horrible deaths?

So even IF the book is true, it does nothing to prove Mormonism. For crying out loud, Jesus died a horrible death. So by Mormon logic, he must have been anti-Mormon! LOL

Mormons have such a persecution complex that it makes me laugh!

If the ONLY people who died horrible deaths were those opposed to Mormonism, then you would have a good argument.
