Having learned for myself that life has a purpose and there is life after death, with a just judge (and merciful, for the merciful), and that all things will be put in good order (my wording, emphasis on good): that all changes everything, for me at least.
Today is Easter, when we commemorate the empty tomb....
- lcall 7y agoWith any downvotes, I would appreciate a courteous, thoughtful comment. I have not understood the possible harm in what I said, only likely disagreement. Disagreement is OK, but it seems that it could be better to write clearly rather than just quietly hide.
- Ghjklov 7y agoIsn't it obvious that dark retreats as light approaches? :) That's why you are downvoted, despite not writing anything even remotely offensive or wrong.
- lcall 7y agoThanks much for the kind words. (fwiw to anyone: I wrote about how I know what I said. Link is in my profile.)
- noir_lord 7y agoFWIW it’s worth I didn’t downvote you however your assertion of life after death was provided with no evidence but appears that your are asserting your faith as fact. That will rub some people the wrong way, me among them though not the way it would have once, I’ve someone what mellowed with age.
- lcall 7y agoThanks. I can assert that I have learned some things for myself. Details at my web site (linked from my profile--it is a simple site and I hope very navigable/skimmable...). Edit: I think I have a great deal of compelling evidence that is meaningful to me. Any other person has to decide if it is meaningful to them, but it is extensive (as I have written).
- viklove 7y agoMeaningful and objective are not the same thing
- tasuki 7y agoIf what you said was inaccurate, ie if there was no life after death, in my opinion it'd be harmful to claim that there is.
- lcall 7y agoI like how you put that, and I think I agree with you. I am also extremely grateful for what I know, and for knowing it (per links provided in the other response). If I can be of service in answering questions I will try.
- tasuki 7y agoThere is life after death. It's just not going to be you living it. One day, you'll die. After that, it's eternal nothingness. It's not so terrible if you think about it.
- lcall 7y agoMy evidence might or might not be persuasive to you, but I did present it (in related comments) in detail. :)
- tasuki 7y agoMind linking to the evidence? I promise I'll read it!

I especially appreciate feedback (see site footer for example) on the usefulness and/or navigability & skimmability of the way the content is presented. (Font is the html default, so can be configured in the browser to suit one's general preference. Putting things all in one document would make it huge, and it would be unclear at any given time what should be included vs. omitted as the links go deep in many directions.) Thanks. (edit: Is there a link visble to you in my profile? I am of course happy to put it here also, but was only curious if that works as I thought :) All the best to you.)
- tasuki 7y ago1. Why have you chosen Mormonism? 2. What makes it preferrable to Catholicism, Protestantism, Islam, Jehowah's Witnessing, Buddhism? Is it more correct in its doctrines? 3. Why not Paganism or an animalistic religion? Do people have a right to believe in the existence of Zeus or Thor? 4. Wikipedia says "Most of the archaeological, historical and scientific communities do not consider the Book of Mormon an ancient record of actual historical events." - is Wikipedia wrong here? What are the eternal consequences for people who get this wrong and think the Book of Mormon is baloney?
