Became Mormon because of my now wife. Worth it. Also played New Vegas and I love the character of Joshua Graham.
Anyone here a former atheist?

Can you give me some of the guidelines you have issues about? Hard to answer specifically when you're broad
The Church has the idea of Apostolic Succession - that each bishop/priest can trace the lineage back, if you check enough historical/church documents, to the time of the Apostles.
People are flawed, yes, but my understanding is that the Church is guided by the Holy Spirit in matters of teaching Faith and morals. So, instead of Pastor Jim in his independent baptist Church telling you his opinion on the bible, we can turn to the Church Christ established. That is not to say that personal interpretation of certain things is bad, only when it clashes with established doctrine.

I'll be curious to hear your results. The full answers are more interesting than just the top one - pic related are all I really care about

Not what I was talking about. You asked specifically about why some old book has truth and authority, I answered- faith. Seeing the Church as infallible requires faith. Why did you assume I was talking about god in general? I was answering your question

I dunno if I'm an atheist or religious or anything now, I'm just much more interested and open to such things

Great quote. It's a pity the midwits take one gulp and think they know all the answers
