Mormon Irrationality or Magical Thinking

Irrational or miraculous idea of ​​Mormonism I struggle when I try to deal with rational concepts related to science, investment strategy, politics and other purely secular matters (like last night) Highly educated I will talk with the Mormons. And the infectious diseases that I saw in their struggle could be due to the magical thought of the Mormon cores who literally believe literally. The conversation that I participated last night stimulated this article. It was related to investment opportunities offered by the bright and successful young Mormon.

For most people who grew up in traditional Christianity, the idea is very strange and fresh, I think Mormonism is arrogant. Emotions are mutual: Mormons believe that traditional Christians are submissive and imaginative. But if you overcome the first unfamiliar things of this idea and seriously think about it, what you see is not only the most fundamental theological debate since Martin Luther, but also the most American identity in Christianity It is also a concept of America. Parents did not expect children to stay with their children and stay home for the rest of their lives. This is what a family dog ​​does - when a puppy "grows" it does not go out to find a job and to buy a pet. It was always a dog. However, children should become adults like parents.

In 2008, as a young adult I was eager to see Mitt Romney's campaign during the Republican primary election. But I am more interested in this country's response to Mormon's candidates than to Romney himself. At that time, Mormon was the leader of the Senate majority vote - Democrat Harry Reid. Mormons have served the presidential palace and other high-level political groups. In 2002 the Salt Lake City Olympic Games brought millions of people to my country and religion. However, looking at the 2008 campaign, most Americans may not have seen or have been associated with a single Mormon.

The city of Mormon was built to escape the persecution of non-Mormons by Mormons. The main town of Mormonism is Salt Lake City built in 1847. Brigham Young was a Mormon leader who took them to Salt Lake City. He built a number of things to organize them, such as building irrigation systems to prevent health problems. In Mormon town there are few problems with legal problems or order. Alcohol banning makes them very religious, and in their town Danit (secret police) is also active. However, they sometimes suffer from fraud. This may be because Mormons believe that wealth is a blessing of God and they are respected in the community if they are rich. So this may be the cause of fraud. There is no health and sanitation problem in the town of Mormon. Because they want to create a paradise on earth, they plan very well and organize.
