I love the subtitle for this article, because it is so smug: "challenging everything you think you know." The arrogance is breathtaking.
Myth #4 is particlarly weird. Ms. Brooks claims that Mormon women are not second class citizens in the church. But she goes on to explain how the men have all the power and authority. Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot!
This article stems from the don't answer the question they asked, answer the question they should have asked camp. Look here are a few straw man arguments against my religion, and one I answer poorly. Isn't it wonderful, isn't it marvelous. I beat down those straw men! Woohoo! If Ms. Brooks really wants to challenge what I think I know, she should take on the whole Book of Abraham business and convince critics of Mormonism that they are wrong about that.
