I respect whatever people want to believe. I just do not understand the ongoing NOM mentality.
I read some of Delin's dribble. he is starting to sound like FARMS. But he is the Mental FARMS department.
I love that he and other NOM think that their faith is deeper because than know it's not true and still believe it.
That is not faith.
That is weakness of character.
They write these pseudo science pieces and criticize the church as if the church exists outside of total obedience. As if it was inspired when they want it to be and in need of correction when they see fit.
They go on about how if you squint hard enough, with their mormon-lite routine, everything will become clear, because you will see it all, Smith and the church for what it is and at the same time, magically, you will also accept the claims that were attached to those falsehoods.
Delin recently promoted, ironically, a critical piece of how we can manipulate evidence to buttress our point of view...
Again, that is not faith.
You can't have faith on something that is not true, and in turn make it "truish" because you believe it so much.
Of course there must be a middle ground after your are hit with the lies. I get cafeteria Mormonism.....for 2-6 weeks, after that you are beginning to re-write your mental gymnastics routine so you don't have to quit the team.
You want to take the good that the church gives but leave out the bad? Then take this: its either all true or its all a lie. No truer words were ever spoken by your prophet.
So, to Johnny and the hundreds of thousands that have become hair splitters, and bullshit strainers I say, you will be a better person outside.
You want to know how to help people in transition? how you can best help the church deal with the history? how you can assist those disenfranchised?
Grow a pair and leave already.
