Today in church, a snowstorm caused a last-minute change in the speaking line-up. And by that I mean, there were no speakers lined up. Our bishop cajoled his daughter and a visiting member of the stake presidency into talking briefly, but also invited members of the congregation to come up and share their favorite scripture verses. I was contemplating sharing mine (Ps 46:10: "Be still and know that I am God" - when is that verse not the right answer?) when S leaned over and asked if she could go up and share hers.
Surprised that she even had a favorite, I whispered, "So what is your favorite scripture?"
"We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's congestion," she answered.
If you're LDS, you're laughing. If you're not, you're certain we're even weirder than you thought.
S's favorite "scripture" is our second Article of Faith: "We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression."
So for the record, we don't buy into original sin, nor do we take responsibility for other people's sinuses.
