And by the way, according the Mormons we have freedom of choice to do whatever we want, just have to be accountable in the afterlife, The reason satan was cast down from heaven is because before anyone was born he wanted to force everyone to love god and worship him, no freedom of choice, and jeesus wanted people to be free to choose how they live their lives. I'm not LDS but I was till i was 17. They do believe in freedom of choice, but they take the living christlike WAY to seriously and they end up not giving you freedom of choice, thats why I left.

As i said in my other message. To see into the future, the future has to be already set, written in stone whatever otherwise we would have an infinite number of variable realities. God is supposed to be the creator so it is him that has created the future and thereby already decided what will happend.
Hehe.. This is an ongoing discussion within the major churches where i live, they are pretty much ready to slit eachothers throats by now..
Mormons I have yet not encounterd/looked in to, I know verry little about this shism of christianity other than it allows polygamy (but only men can have several wives or something like that??) and that it "goes by the letters" of their bible.
We do have mormons here but they refuse me to study their religion if I don't join their church.
And yesd it is the little things that makes me happy, the sun is shining today, school starts today and i had a lovley cup of tea this morning. If it matters or not is of no consequence to me because i feel good and i am happy, i have no need for it to mean anything other than that it makes me happy.
As a general rule i deal with the ideas of faith that is most commonly accepted. Otherwise i would argue with theists from every corner of the world untill the day i die and that is not the kind of life i want.
I admit i know verry little about the doctrines and teachings of the mormons and therefore i cannot debate it.
