Mr. Susu - you say, "The LDS church has always changed their doctrine to fit the times." I wish more people would bother to change their thinking to fit the times. Some people may call that wishy-washy, but it's what I call "growing."

As for "As man is now, God once was. As God is now, man can become." That sounds like the teaching of many Christian churches, that we will be one with God after death. Sounds pretty close to the teaching of Paul the apostle, too.

I suppose it's comforting at times to do verbal gymnastics and prove others wrong and yourself right, but what good does that do? I believe in tolerance.

I'm a Roman Catholic, and I suppose we're not particularly fashionable these days - so that makes me sympathetic to the LDS and other faiths that are being beaten down by detractors nowadays. It seems that people want to define all religious faiths as "fundamentalist kooks," and then dismiss them all as something evil.
