Not to change the subject(normal for a message board) but I really enjoy the quote: "when I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad. That is my religion."

Back to topic: though I am neither a husband nor a father, "Your sons will learn how to be husbands and fathers by observing the way you fulfill these roles.” really resonated with me.

Tell that to my three daughters who think poop and fart jokes are what makes the world spin. You bass turds and your male offspring make me sick.
 
Is or was Elder Holland's reference to "eternal anguish" a synonym for hell when he was telling that Snow Canyon story? And if so, am I ****ed as an Atheist because I'm not repenting or abiding by the divine commandments? Is it safe to assume that even if I live a good life and do well, I'm still screwed in the eyes of the Mormon church?

Though I was born and raised LDS, I was always taught that those who don't "know/accept God" here on earth will have that opportunity in heaven. I can't answer from a doctrinal standpoint as I don't know the doctrine.

No, that's not safe to assume. It would be interesting to know the context, because if he said that, he did a poor job of communicating his message, as that definitely doesn't jive with the doctrine.

No, but your sodomy with cats will probably be a big hurdle.

He's saying Christ's atonement saved people from eternal anguish. He was talking about the human race in general. In essence he was teaching about grace.

I appreciate the response.

So Christ's atonement even saved the lives of non-believers?
