Your post tonight reminds me of that old Daffy Duck cartoon...Ali Baba Bunny. Seriously, this is what you sound like.

Here is the true irony in your statement and overall postion - YOU are Daffy Duck. You think you have claim on someone else's treasure, someone else's hard earned wealth.

Take from the productive and give to the slothful. That's the liberal way.
That's one of my main beefs with gov't welfare programs. It goes beyond caring for the truly needy and giving a "hand-up" and encourages dependence and sloth.

It's simple, really. Let me keep more of what I earn and I will have more to give to others who are in need. Charity is voluntary, not forced.

But again, what skin off your back would it be if He DID let everyone in?

Now you sound like that bad Church Prodigal Son movie..."BUT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THE GOOD GUY!"
I'm dominating your ass, dude. What are you talking about surrender. It's not skin off my back if he did let everyone in, but then he'd be Satan, not God.

you have no treasure and you haven't earned anything. neither have I. none of us has.

So when I quoted out of the Joseph Smith manual last Sunday in chapter 13 where he says we earn our salvation, I must have been full of shit. Or maybe the dude I was quoting was full of shit. Statements like that from Joseph Smith are the only reason I'm still paying tithing and bothering with Church anymore.

Actually, he did get it, as evidenced by his response.

You have earned a good night's sleep. Nobody can take that from you and redistribute it.
