The eleventh article of faith means that we believe that you have the right to believe and worship as you choose. You might want to discuss the points that you are struggling with though, with your seminary teacher or a friend that you trust.

Would it help if I tell you my views on some of those? You might believe differently than the LDS church teaches, and that is fine if you do, but there are some things that the church teaches and that we (meaning Mormons) believe are true. We do believe that Jesus is the literal son of God. When I think about that, it doesn't seem to be such a far stretch. In our time, we know that doctors can artificially inseminate a woman and babies can be created that way. Why would God not be able to do something that people now can do? He knows more than we do.

I'd like to talk to you a little more about gay marriage and about abortion, but those topics are too political to discuss on the forum. You certainly can believe as you believe, and we believe in treating everybody with love and respect, even if they believe differently than we do. There are reasons why we believe as we do, and many of those reasons are spiritual. The only way to really understand and know what is true is to go to the source and ask God. Talking about it with people might help you to make sense of things, but might also confuse the issues. You need the spirit to guide you through those discussions.
