In my Humanities class, we've been talking about philosophers lately, primarily the Greek philosopher Socrates. He believed that one should always be questioning and searching for truth; "The unexamined life is not worth living."
This got me thinking as I looked around at all my TBM classmates, Did they really understand what Socrates meant? In Mormonism, you are discouraged from questioning and looking at things from all angles. You are told that you don't need to think for yourself, because the leaders have already thought for you.
Socrates would be ashamed of this thing we once called our religion.
