The proof for our prophet's claims is the spirit revealing to us in our hearts what is true and what is not. (I haven't felt this, so I can't claim it.)
So says everyone of there particular religion. They can't all be right. So how do we know what Mormons feel is correct and what everyone else is feeling is wrong. (this kind of ties into another thread on faith if you would like to check it out). Also why do you believe the claims of this prophet when you don't even have this feeling yourself? Just believing because you were born into it just sounds like you shut off your brain and just following along blindly.
Ok, so I have felt the feeling, yet I don't quite feel like I'm thouroghly convinced. I'm only a teen and I'm going through a 'finding everything out for myself and myself only' feeling/mindset. I need a bit more proof for myself.

As a suggestion don't let our atheism influence you in any way, honestly get off this site and run far, far away =P
shawdowjak135- don't let anyone convince you to be an atheist, christian, Muslim, catholic, or anything, over the internet. Talk face-to-face with people, have deep discussions, and have actual experiences before you make such an important decision. I am a Christian, but I would still be disappointed if you became a Christian over forums, because your faith would not be strongly based in stone, and would be to weak to stand up to assault by the enemy.

What is the difference? Facts matter more than emotion over the internet? You can easily have deep discussions over the internet. Actual experiences don't effect reality. I have no problem with it, may I ask why you do? Ah thats right, facts matter more than emotion over the inter web making faith less "based in stone" and having less of that phony virtue.
The problem is that so many things, facial expression, tone of voice, etc, are left out over the internet. We don't have deep, personal relationships with each other, and so we don't know where the person is coming from.

So...It is the fact that facts matter more than emotion attachment over the internet. Once more I must tell you that reality is not based on those things, they are just a shiny flash in the pan to make you think they are correct.

watch out he is trying to brainwash you, don't let yourself infected :P
Anyways about death. 3 words: I DON'T CARE. Once i will die, i will see. Does it matter to know? Is it possible to know? Well yea, but I rather live for a bit longer. People invent stuff because they are scaredddddddddd
I'm not changing what I believe in, I'm just saying exactly what I believe. Lolz, as for face-toface discussions, I have many, many with everyone from my school because I am the only mormon at my school..... and I try to explain everything I am trying to explain now....
okay good answer like the ideas. What about being an animal, angel or ghost?
Impossible. The closest you could hope for would be the atoms that once made up your body being used by another animal... Which is nothing like the reincarnation you are hinting.
And yet, not thinking about it only allows fear to cultivate itself. It's much better to spend a short while thinking about it but trying not to let it pull you down into a depression.
It depnds were your religon lies. If you believe jesus christ is lord of all and that he died to save you and you love him... You go to heaven. Otherwise you go to hell
