Less than 60 years after forming "student" wards at BYU, the church decided to eliminate student congregations in June, now forming "young single adult" wards and stakes throughout Utah for single members ages 18-30...

THis is to funny. To much fun for today.
And they don’t get rich either, BM. Have you ever met the Tanners? You would love Sandra, she is the funniest sweetest and one of the smartest people you would ever hope to meet.
One of my landlords in Utah lived in GA for a few years (her husband moved back to take care of his mom). She had to drive 70 miles to go to her ‘branch’ (small ward as Tadpole said). There were about 70-80 people (according to her) and a few drove further than her every week. She hated it. She preferred Utah where all of her neighbors were in her ward (there were 2 non LDS families in our ward boundaries - one Evangelical that no one talked to and one Catholic that everyone tried to convert) and her ward house was within walking distance.
Oh, you’re right; no church needs any money to survive. /s
And therein lies your argument's fault. All writings are open to question and prayer, not just the ones YOU choose.
All writings are open to question, not prayer. Praying to know if a writing is ‘true’ isn’t Biblical at all.
But, if you think it is, prove it. Show me the verse in context.
God gave us brains he expects us to use them. Or do you pray to know if the nutrition information in your box of cereal is ‘true’?
Just like every church needs a multi-billion dollar shopping mall.
But, if you think it is, prove it. Show me the verse in context.
Showing a verse in the Bible does not prove something to be true. You may believe it to be true, but I don't. That's why the word "FAITH" is used as a synonym for religion. The entire field of religion is a metaphysical concept - something that is beyond proof. You are not going to prove anything in metaphysics. If something is proven, it is no longer in that field, and you don't need faith.
The story-telling that leads people to become irrational is one of the greatest problems in religious societies. "Good" should come from religion. It is ironic that many bigots cannot stop themselves from judging people in ways that a loving God would never judge others.
That opinion is metaphysical as well.
