Can’t answer for them but the few times I’ve done it is to make sure I’m talking with someone that can actually hold a conversation and I’m not arguing with a shill or looney. Sometimes just to see what a person is like on average. Especially if they act like a cunt for little reason. Some do it just for curiosity sake.

This is just my opinion but, no one using chrome should complain about telemetry in FF.

It really is. I hate visiting other than the nature.

It’s inevitable that some denominations don’t see the others as legitimate. But if you don’t frame the view from any one group and instead look at the whole, the common theme is that Christ is at the center of it and those teachings are held at the pinnacle. Doesn’t matter if it’s the Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, a new book entirely called Zebu, the Apocrypha, or “willy wonka and the goblet of water, no wait, wine”.

Christianity is defined by the desire to follow Christ and his teachings including revering him as the savior. Scripture is just stories and lessons to guide people along that path. What another faith thinks of that is irrelevant.

Maybe it’s a Utah thing. Mormons in Utah and Mormons outside of it may as well be two separate religions at times.

I agree, I just don’t want to to gain any extra legitimization or support from a legal standpoint

How does having more scripture that centers on Christ make them less Christian? Is it really any different than just having a bunch more recorded sermons from any teachers of Christ? It all centers on Christ, so whether they have no scripture or infinite scripture their belief and their teachings are centered on Christ, which is what makes a religion christian.

That’s not how that works.

Christ is the central figure and all teachings are based on him. It’s Christianity. But other groups in Christianity try to define it based on their interpretations of what they think Christiaity means. So some of them try to say mormons aren’t but it’s a skewed metric. It’s centered on Christ, that’s Christianity.

There needs to be stronger regulations on religious organizations. But something outside of taxing them. Taxation gives representation. And I don’t want religion feeling like it has a right to be heard in politics. There are enough religious zealots already trying to ruin government.

Some use gentile to mean anyone not in the religion. Most understand it in the biblical sense despite this.

I think that may have been more to do with high school kids not understanding their own religion. Mormons have always been Christians. The kids probably thought christian meant the same as protestant. Which Mormons definitely disagree with. They consider themselves restorationists, not protestants. But they’ve always thought of themselves as Christians.

Depends on denomination and sect.

That’s why there are different denominations within the sect of Christianity. It’s all Christianity because it centers on Christ and his teachings. But it’s done in a million flavors.

Edit:I may have misused denomination and sect but point being there is a larger grouping of “people following Jesus and his teachings central to their religion” And dozens of smaller groupings that go about that process differently.

That’s how other denominations define it though. They all fall under the sect of Christianity because they believe in and center their teachings around Jesus. Not because they have other beliefs as well.

No, Christ isn’t the center of it. Christ to Muslims is like Abraham to Christians in a way. It’s not a perfect analogy but gets the gist across.

They believe in and follow the teachings of Christ as the center of the religion. So yes.

If we never give real people, flawed people, the chance to prove themselves and try their program, all we will have left are the people rich enough to look clean or not care about looking clean.

Everyone has problematic things. And I’m not saying to ignore their pasts, but evaluate them beside their faults as well as with. And someone like planter to me, isn’t a perfect candidate. Considering his problematic issues from the past I’d say he’s a bit risky even.

But looking at his proposed platform, and looking at the festering incumbent he’s trying to oust, the potential risks with him are still looking better than Collins.

Kinda says a lot about Collins shitty character.

Ol dozey don

The player software than can with mine back in the good times was awesome. It had essentially a loopback recording feature where it’d record anything coming out the audio out. I actually ripped a few streamed songs that way by starting the stream and recording lol
