How high is your risk for cancer?

[Beantown]

Since you're the one who mentioned your religion and its doctrine, enlighten me on the Mormon church doctrine regarding "anyone if your family have/had cancer?" What is their stance on that? How about the doctrine regarding eating red meat? I am curious to know what the Mormon church doctrine is regarding these cancer risks and you are clearly knowledgable since you "feel pretty good about all of these because they are covered in the church doctrine of the mormon church." Or did you mean the moron church?

I wasn't hating on the Mormon religion. I grew up with all of my best friends being Mormon and am still friends with lot of Mormons today. I have family that is Mormon. I was simply clowning on Beantown for trying to get all elitist on us like he always does.

Clearly you misunderstood my post. I was simply saying I felt good about myself because I just happen to be following some of them due to my religion. I was not shoving it down anyone's throat. If I wasnt mormon there is a possibility of me being a heaving drinker/smoker. I believe I would have addictive tendencies since alot of my extended family has. Sorry I was relieved that my risks of cancer seemed upbeat. I just wanted to share the risk assesment questions to inform others. But I guess that isnt thread worthy.

It's good that because you chose to worship in a particular way, you are exempt from the temptations of the flesh. I keep waiting to become a heavy drinker/smoker since I'm not Mormon. I do have addictive tendencies, though. Look at my post count.

Here upon my ramiumtum, I can see how superior I am in regards to cancer incidence and cardiac death. To be part of God's elect group of chosen people, clearly I will live much longer. Knowing this allows me to show superiority and hide my insecurities from a life of being shamed into compliance with the social norms of my people. I am glad that it is religion and not educated decisions that has saved me from a horrible malignancy.

If you really want to get into Mormon doctrine then yes Mormons do believe that we are here to learn how to control ourselves. Our bodies want sex and stimulants. As the BOM says "the natural man is an enemy to God since the fall of Adam". Learning to master body and mind is part of why we are here. In our view.

Whatever dude. If you can't see how your comment was condescending, you will never be able to relate to non-members. If your goal is to show people the good in what you have, you don't do it by bragging or elevating yourself above them. This kind of puffery and BS testimonials is why I can't stand to go to church anymore. I know you are just using this forum to convince yourself that you would die of cancer if not for the grace of the mormon church. But, you really should know how it comes off to non-members.

By the way, I am a physician. Your cancer risk is lowered by having never smoked and that is about it. Except for esophageal cancer, alcohol plays very little role in cancer risk. Moderate alcohol use is cardioprotective.

Mormons, they ROCK, eh?

Beantown, I appreciate your spreading of the gospel far and wide. You are a true Christian soldier. Find a way to mention the LDS church in every post, and I will promise you a seat nearest to my throne.

And maybe a brain.

JC ****ing rocks.

Coffee, tea, and premarital sex cause cancer.

In addition to abstaining from fast food, are Mormons also required to stay indoors 24/7 to avoid skin cancer from the sun? Beanclown? Can we get some input on this?

Actually, if you stayed out of the sun you wouldn't produce Vitamin D which helps your immune system which helps stop cancer formation. But nice try though.......sorta.

Does the Mormon doctrine require you to wear sunscreen whenever you go outside?

Look, I respect Mormons and people that live their lives with good morals and in a healthy manner...hell, I'm not even strong willed enough to keep myself from smoking cigarettes (which I hate) while I am driving trucks...but Beantown is a clown.
