I am glad that it is false for you. Really, I am. And no, I am not going to try and convince you that God does not love you. That is not something that I believe.

Thank you, but you kept saying that Mormonism teaches that God doesn’t love you unless you are worthy. My point in previous posts was that I thought this was just something you got into your head as a struggling teenager, rather than an actual teaching of Mormonism. So are you saying that Mormonism explicitly teaches such a thing? Are you saying that some individual Mormons actually told you that God didn’t love you? Or are you saying that, given various other teachings (about “worthiness,” and so on,) a lot of Mormons get that impression, falsely?

Does it matter?

Sure. Don’t you think it matters where all those people suffering from “Catholic guilt” got their ideas?

Seriously, if all just an impression you got into your head as a teenager, and not an actual Mormon teaching, then I wish you would be more careful about what you say.

You teach it, just I’m not in the mood to educate you about your own religion.

And your “Catholic guilt” tangent is a red herring.
