Just out of curiosity (no red haring), When did the LDS allow minorities in their church?
Well for blacks suposedly Sept. 30, 1978 but it is said that racism is still very much alive even today.

Minorities have been able to join our Church from the very beginning. We were never a "Whites only " church.Just out of curiosity (no red haring), When did the LDS allow minorities in their church?
An insult? No... I really hope you become sane again.Wow, an insult, that the best ya got ???
Wow, another insult, you guys really do have no clue.An insult? No... I really hope you become sane again.
InsultI must admit, between admitting to believing in worldwide conspiracies involving scientists and educators to claiming that stars are planets...I don't know if "scared" is the word I'd use to describe my thoughts about you FFH. More like sincerely worried about your mental health.
Things aren't always what they appear to be.

Jesus Christ Our God Is Coming With Scroll In His Right Hand
Rev. 1:13
And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
Rev. 4: 2
And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
Rev. 5: 1
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
Rev. 5: 13
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Rev. 22: 12
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Rev. 22: 16
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
"I am the bright and morning star" ~ Revelation 22: 16
I don't believe I have ever insulted you but I did ask if you could explain how geometry is failing us when we measure how far away these stars are.Wow, another insult, you guys really do have no clue.
Nothing but insults in this thread from everyone but Apex.
Holy crap, you actually believe this? Frankly I am at a loss for words. Just please do not tell others that all Mormons believe as you.

According to Genesis, the "firmaments" were created on the second day, which would include the sun, moon and stars.
Why should we assume the stars we can see with the naked eye are more than just a distant moon, for example, or a distant planet like jupiter or mars, etc., with the sun's light reflecting off them and hitting the earth in a shorter time than we have been fraudulently led to believe.
Admit yourselves into mental institutions, I'm more sane than anyone you'll ever meet.
I would be surprised if many Mormons agreed with FFH, seeing how he's denying the existence of the mechanism by which one of the LDS Church's holiest sites was created. Hill Cumorah is a drumlin. If you didn't have a big honkin' glacier riding over upstate New York 12,000-odd years ago (and blocking the Niagara River in the process), you wouldn't have the location where Joseph Smith said he unearthed the Golden Plates.Yeah..I dont know how I insulted you either..And even Apex said he hoped that not all people thought that all LDS believed as you do..

FFH, let's try to be reasonable here. Stars are not planets. Use your eyes and try to use your mind constructively and logically here. If you can look at these pictures and honestly still think you are just looking at planets reflecting our sun's light then I implore you to seek help from a mental health professional. This is truly not meant to be insulting at all...but a genuine concern for your well-being.

I guess Im having a problem that grown men..of otherwise reasonable intelligence actually believe that..Not only that..but they think anyone else who sees evidence contrary to that needs a mental evaluation is beyond me..

It's not just that. He believes there are conspiracies to keep people from believing in creationism and god. He honestly believes scientists make stuff up to dupe us all and they, and educators, are all in cahoots to cover it up. There is something seriously wrong with that line of thinking. It screams of irrational paranoia and needs to be professionally addressed.
