      The problem is, they were involved. Brigham Young said that slavery was ordained by God, and slaves were sealed to their masters to be their eternal slaves. They were brought over the plains by the settlers of Utah.

      @John Bair how is it bias? There was slavery in Utah, and there are historical evidences to prove it. Just because, according to you, there were only 29, it doesn't take away from the fact that There was slavery in Utah. If you read Brigham Young teachings, his feelings are pretty clear on blacks and where they stand in "the kingdom of God" according to Mormon doctrine.
      Pointing out historical evidences is not biased.

      The amount of slaves they had is only part of the story. Black men were not allowed the same status as white men of being priest hood holders until the 1970's. They also discriminated agains them in other ways. The church has a sordid past in their treatment of black people.

I was a welder and welding inspector for turbines for nuclear power plants for the last 10 years. Never been in trouble, never done hard drugs.

      @@k.a.4595 Because God still gave us a choice to follow him or not...and people that turn away from him are still sinning without feeling bad or remorseful about it, so there is still a need for hell. The act of being holy, as God is, also means that he cannot be in the presence of any evil. It's the repentance of sin that is the key...sinning and realizing it was wrong, then choosing to change because of it.
      1 John 1:9 says "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives."
      This is saying that if you believe and confess that you have done wrong, he has promised to forgive you from all of it, washing away those sins, but if you reject what him and what he says, there is no repentance. Without repentance, there is no need for forgiveness because the person believes they haven't done anything wrong, but this doesn't allow their sins to be washed away. He still forgives us for the things we do every day, but unless we look to him, it just sits there and doesn't really do anything.
