Not so much. Apparently their church hired a woke fantasy writer named Brandon Sanderson, who spreads the church agenda via his own novels.

That is sad, Father Rovagnati. A pious Mormon, Brandon Sanderson, went over to Satan's side. This does not often happen if the author, himself, is dedicated to remaining a straight man. Now we see a different author. I'll try to say this delicately. It raises an eyebrow.

Of course he did, after all he even states here why he became a Mormon.

I believe in Mormonism for three general reasons.
1) Experience. 2) Logic. 3) Feelings.

The first two are irrelevant, let's skid to the 3.

Central to this asking is the teaching of our Church that God will lead someone who seeks it to the truth. He will not leave you hanging, and he doesn’t expect you to have to just wander around blindly and gamble on the religion you choose. If he REALLY exists, then I believe strongly that he will let you know that, and that he will tell you which path in life he wants you to take.

So, it appears that Mormons are actually Atheists? This is so confusing.

. . . .Thank you for that link
I haven't laughed so much all year. Sure, the first two are irrelevant BUT from their own INTERNAL perspective they are not irrelevant at all. And that's where we should look.

FROM YOUR LINK §2 “Logic”
LDS teachings focus on this world being a planned event. It teaches that before we were born, we lived as spirits, and were involved in the production of this world. We chose to come to this planet because we desired the experience of living on our own, having mortal bodies, and being apart from God for a time. We believe that when we lived before, we couldn’t really experience pain, or fear, or any of those things–not as long as God was there with us. We believe that only by having this Earth experience could we become complete, gaining experiences that we couldn’t have gained in any other way.

So, the core teaching here is that we came to the Earth by choice.

OK: they are using an Earth/Planet model of reality and a Cartesian coordinate system, both of which derive from the "scientific method" and it's proper to evaluate their claims—their internal material—by those criteria. This is a section THEY have called "Logic" so it won't take long.

1. If we ourselves produced this world, in conjunction with whomever, when we decided to come and live on Earth, no such planet existed.

2. Planets as a class derive from scientific empiricism, in turn requiring logic.

3. Scientific empiricism demands billions of years for planets to be produced, further requiring an Atoms/Void model as proposed by Democtitus. Thus far all other models have been rejected and "atoms in a void" has been refined (gravitational theory for example) in this model.

4. Cartesian coordinates are required for Earth to have a location distinct from the location of God, regardless of however many additional planets their theology requires.

CONCLUSION: It is logically inconceivable that in a location where God is all there is, with ourselves immersed as organelles, any other location could exist. Equally, that one such location would be "a planet" (when not even the false vacuum existed, that is when "the universe" was smaller than a subatomic particle and all "future particles" as it were existed only as radiation) and that one such planet would be Earth.

Now they may say that God's logic is beyond pathetic human logic. Fine! But that is NOT what they're saying. And if isolation from God was required for the purposes stated, then what's the point of using "Earth planet human" logic when it can't get you to the desired outcome? Furthermore, since they hold that via their self-proclaimed prophets we get a lifeline back to God, what's the point of the billion-year experiment at all?

IN SUMMARY: What's the point of Mormonism?

. . . So, it appears that Mormons are actually Atheists? This is so confusing.

I can help here. Satan cooked it up as a dry run for Scientology ~ which according to the logic they promote, while not knowing what it is, makes both of them pointless. [Except for accountants -ed.]
