Falsifying God? (Agnosticism)
dhw: A few weeks ago, I was accosted in the street by two charming young Mormon ladies who were pleasantly surprised that I had some knowledge of Joseph Smith. They were thus able to skip the preliminaries and go straight for the jugular: either he was a fraud, a madman, or he was telling the truth. Which did I think was correct? Bearing in mind the circumstances of his “revelation”, I'd be interested to know how you would have answered. > >David: Finding revelations on gold tablets dug up in his backyard in upstate New York is a bit much. Polygamy is another problem. Yet the Mormon Church comes across as teaching a high level of morality, and the Mormons I know and have known have all been very fine folks.-Agreed. I am not knocking the average mormon, just the guy the kicked it all off.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
