towards a spiritualist Mormonism/Mormon non-theism

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

What is it specifically about Mormonism that appeals to you, Tweed?

Not trying to be disputatious; I'm genuinely curious.

Sorry, let me clarify. What I'm wondering is what precisely makes this Mormon? Is it like postmodern religion that happens to be 'Mormon-flavored' culturally rather than Christian?

First of all, I'd like to warn you that it is very difficult in this day and age to attempt to put together a canonical religious text without seeming cultish. I know that's not what you're about but others may not. Putting this forth at first as a theologically agitatory text within Mormonism as it currently exists may be a more prudent way to do things if you intend to attract a movement of any significance.

From your thread on your missionization in the Forum Community board, it seemed like the things that appealed to you about Mormonism were (or at least included) its culture, its sense of solidarity-as-outsiders as Mikado mentioned, those elements of Mormon practice and belief and living standards that are not explicitly bound up in some of the more unsavory elements of its history or outlandish elements of its scripture, and possibly its uniquely American character and provenance? Is this a fair assessment of the areas in which you intend to maintain more or less unbroken continuity with previous Mormon movements?

just glanced over the last couple of days posts of this thread....I am understanding it correctly that Tweed is attempting to create his own religion?!

More like his own theological school within an existing religion. I still wonder if he might not be a little young, but it's less crazy than it sounds.
