"It's true because my mom scolded me" (kinda long link)

This is probably a perfectly nice guy, but he caved to his momma about his testimony:
http://geoffsn.blogspot.com/2012/08/russell-hancock-on-testimony-and-church.html

The guy mentions Moroni's Promise, of course, which makes me wonder yet again, what real history book have you ever read, even a journal of someone's that recounts their adventures travails, that has to have a disclaimer about whether it's true or not. And if it does, does it ask you to PRAY about its truthfullness!?

Boils down to what Huck Finn said: "Faith is believing in something even though you know it's not so."

Amazing.

The dope quotes his own mother ordering him to quit expecting results. Then he went on to quote four more brain-brakes from McKay, Oaks, Packer, and McConkie. Message: QUIT EXPECTING RESULTS AND JUST BELIEVE.

:::shakes head:::

Guy's a complete tool.
