"Which means retards people who lost their arms or weren't born with a right arm will be perfect again." imo just because someone doesn't have the "perfect" body or mind doesn't make them less perfect as an individual. Now, I'm agnostic, but if I did believe in a God, I'd like to think that that God would accept each person as perfect as they were, no matter the visual/intellectual faults, since he would have created them, and saw his creation as good. My son has a whole ton of mental disorders. But he is still a perfect person. Everyone is, no matter what deformities, or illnesses they have. They are what makes him who he is. To say "oh but when he gets to heaven, he'll be better - he'll be made ideal and perfect and whole" is a crock of sh!t and totally demeaning and insulting to who he is. That kind of attitude (he's not like everyone else, so he's imperfect) is why kids like him (or with other things like deformities etc.) are teased and bullied.

"Your religion is very complex, obviously. How then, does a retard get into heaven? And, saying he's exempt from the "test" (as i call it) and he gets to heaven by default, is that to say that all of us who aren't retarded are at a greater risk? That doesn't seem fair. Not the kind of fair where, "waa, that's not fair!" but the fair where... this is a load of crap, fair. Aborted babies. Straight to heaven. Me, 22 years old and deciding that Mormonism is a crock of crocodile crap. Would it have been to my advantage if I were aborted? If so, shouldn't we all do our best to kill every child of the world, if only to save their souls? "

Well lets slowly disect this. First when we come from heaven and recieve our bodies we might lose something in translation. But when we die, we become our complete self again. Which means retards people who lost their arms or weren't born with a right arm will be perfect again. No longer retarded, every hair on your head shall be restored. You will have your limbs and all that.

I'm not a good mormon to begin with. Hell I swear and do stuff that isn't mormon like and in fact I am not the best to be representing my religion. Of course there are worse. I ask you do me a favor. Get ahold of a missionary or a member of my church where you live and ask them your damn question. I'd have to start reading the scriptures again just to keep up.
