Being saved from this wretched state is what Jesus is all about. The statements you quote and the logic you use is correct, but those statements are within a context of the Bible. Within the context of the rest of the Bible it is in fact abundantly clear that Jesus is required to save you from original sin.

I mean I'm sure I've read every part but I skipped around over a period of years so it's not like just reading it as if it were a book. There definitely are a lot of inconsistencies and "questionable" parts though. -Rob Wow, I don't think I've actually ever read the entire bible in order.

I will simply be reading it (again) and pointing out inconsistencies. No worries mate. I will simply be reading it (again) and pointing out inconsistencies.

Although I prefer the KJV I read another only because my copy of th KJV is so large and cumbersome. I reckon I'll pop in every now and again to see what you have to say about it, but I'm not apt to step in and start an argument over religion. I have my beliefs, others can do as they will.

It's all for the good of the people because Mormons do no wrong. I work with a hardcore mormon, he started preaching to me one day after he found out I'm an atheist, talking about evidence, how Mormonism is correct because it's relatively young and hasn't been corrupt like the others, etc. You should have seen his expression when he was talking about the golden tablets and I said, well, if those are proof for your religion, have you seen them? But they're in heaven was his reply. So I repeated, so you haven't seen them yourself so that's faith, not evidence. He was also surprised of what I did know about Joseph Smith. That he was a con artist, was arrested/convicted and was known to be a drug abuser. Everyone sees angels when they're tripping on shrooms man! ;) He was always out to get rich with gold, probably the reason he came up with the gold tablets because he wasn't very good at being a con artist, except when it came to religion, which sadly is just one big con across the world nowadays to get poor people to hand over their money.

The Mormon religion rocks - they get timely interventions from angels just before they are up for lawsuits on civil rights. Also, a guy who translated the tablets from God different ways each time, even though they were the same and more importantly, <em>got away with it</em> is my kind of religious leader. Maybe that will be a project for afterwards, or you could take it up Drew? Definitely.
