I haven't read it, but I love philosophy
One of the classes I'm taking next quarter is Philosophy of Religion
The class description is
"Introduces students to philosophical inquiry into the major elements of religious thought and experience. Issues include arguments for and against God's existence, atheism, the problem of evil, the relationship of faith to reason, religious experiences, religious ethics, and immortality." |

I don't live in Utah nor am I a Mormon
But I think Mormons have good emphasis on family virtues (aside from polygamy, don't really agree with it but I've also heard it isn't in the doctrine anymore) |

technically it is but its practice is disallowed
i hope it never returns -- and probably it won't -- because historically it's always caused jealous women |

Yeah and I think polygamy is definitely rough on the kids
I saw this one Mormon sect in Canada where the dad fathered over a hundred children

"But I think Mormons have good emphasis on family virtues"
my grandfather converted to mormonism and became a deacon and i can confirm this completely mormons may believe in some wacked up stuff but they're some of the nicest people i know
"Yeah and I think polygamy is definitely rough on the kids"
that's no longer supported by the church, thank god
didn't know you or anyone here was all that interested in religious or philosophical studies to be honest i know you're like a college freshman now iirc and i'm only a high-school senior, but still that's one of the courses i want to take regardless of my major |

one time in seminary (which is basically a school hour where we learn about mormonism -- you don't get any school credits and you sign up for it) we were talking about different issues and i chose polygamy and why it was okay that the church did it
the answer i got was a doctrine and covenants verse and it was something like if i the lord will raise up seed unto my house then so let me
kind of a wtf moment if polygamy's entire purpose was to have kids wouldn't it have been better to not marry all those people because mormon marriages are eternal
WAITTTT TYPING THAT I FINALLY REALIZED WHY THAT DOESN'T PROVE POLYGAMY WAS A DERP mormons still believe they're marrying multiple spouses -- when one dies, they marry another and get "sealed" to the new one, meaning that in heaven they'll be married to both
