On the thread about the pioneer celebration, it made me think about the miracles that are proclaimed from the handcart companies as well as the misery.
In the movie 17 miracles, it shows multiple times when God miraculously provided food. Once it was a pie on the trail. Another time it was in the form of miraculously growing bread in a dutch oven. There were other examples.
I hate this definition of God that mormons believe in. He has the power to help you find your keys, but can't find an abducted girl.
He has the power to drop in food at will. But he is willing to allow dozens of people die a painful death of starvation and exposure. But why? It wasn't their fault they were out there. Church leaders made selfish decision and put them in harms way.
He has the power according to those miracles, yet he is only willing to give the tiniest bit of help before they die a painful death.
I can never believe in such an F'ed up definition of God.
Mormons just can't see how crazy this is. They only celebrate it.
