What Mormon Theology Is Really All About [1975]

FoxyAmazon says...

Some of it is true, some of it inaccurate. Any religon sounds insane when you put it in crazy animation form. Always search for your own answers.. This reminded me of why I don't go to church...

The History of the Mormon Religion

gorgonheap: taking a stand isn't closed minded. Tanking a stand that is fundamentally irrational for whatever emotional reasons and then ignoring logic & contrary evidence...that is being closed minded.
Also being closed minded is accusing someone, that disagrees with your position, of making "no decision" just because they're being logically consistent. Agnostics for example, simply acknowledge that no is zero credible evidence for the existence of a supernatural supreme being. While at the same time, they realise that unless you define such a hypothetical entity narrowly enough that you can't complete disprove it's existence. That is the problem with trying to "prove a negative".
For example..I'll assume that you I both agree that Santa Claus doesn't actually exist, now try to PROVE that he doesn't exist. For every logical reason that you give that there is no Santa Claus. Someone can come up with some rationalization to still justify the belief in Santa Claus. That why the "Burden of Proof" is important in critical thinking.
Most agnostics if asked would reply that they don't belive that there is a supreme being because
1)there is no proof to support it
and
2)because it is a unecessary hypothisis

But they know that they can't prove the negative because most religons try to survive crtical analysis by being as vague as possible in such matters.
As to the clip...what little it shows is basically accurate in the broad sense (even though they took "artistic license" with the history). The biggest difference between a cult and a religon (in many peoples minds) is how many people belive in it.
