MORMON CIVIL WAR: THE CHRISTMAS TOSCANO DIALOGUES DAY 2 - IDEALISM VS PHYSICALISM

Mormon Civil War

Peter, Paul and Mormonism – The 12 Days of Christmas Toscano Dialogues

In this second of 12 conversations we explore the ultimate theological conundrum: If religion and Gods are real rather than a human invention to help us cope with our own inevitable deaths, how are we to bridge the gap between our existence as limited mortal animals trapped in a brief space-time continuum or timeline with a beginning and an end, and the existence of a God that is eternal and is not limited like that? And how can we and a God have both imperfect and mortal and perfectly eternal aspects of ourselves as part of our natures at the same time? Quantum physics and theology are both pointing to lots of ways this could be real… but why even care when the religion that taught us about God and our immortal souls in the first place is doing all 17 of the things New Testament Jesus specifically commanded religious leaders never to do?
