"If I'm in need of help, do I even bother turning to them? As far as financial, or schooling needs? I'd leave as soon as I graduate, but everything seems so soon. I always felt like my parents would be there to help with college. But then…"

Dr. Terence Meaden said… - Hi Jeffrey and welcome to this wonderful world of rationality, truth and peace. As for mormonism, escape when you can..True common sense helped by science leads to atheist wisdom as you have well judged; so if the mormons would only listen to reason, there would be no more mormons.Lord Byron: “Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves”We invite you to make good friends by joining the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with 590 discussion topics and nearly 3200 members.
