Im not an expert in the knowledge of the church, but i would like to think i am well informed.
However, the more threads and posts i read the more my opinion is changing about the world
If you have any questions i would be happy to try to answer!

Not to turn this into a debate, but what value does religion teach (Mormonism in particular) that basic human compassion does not? A good question was asked in the "Ask an Atheist" thread about the source of morality and my response was that my morality comes from a standard human trait: compassion. So, I am wondering what I am "missing" because of my lack of religious belief.
