He is such a wise man to know that reason & logic are dangerous, even fatal!, to a Mormon's testimony. Pres. Paternoster is always a highlight of my Mondays!

Just asking folks. You see, I feel a swelling in my bosom sometimes and at my age it is quite a worry.

President Paternoster's Monday Morning posts give us a little spiritual boost to begin the week.

...and in so doing the apostate will gradually turn from his ways back to the safety of the fold.

Amen and thank you President. Once while pondering the construction of Jaredite submarines I felt the seductive, but corrosive whisperings of logic and reason. As I envisioned these ancient boats, constructed like saucers, lit with rocks touched by the hand of God, Filled with people and animals flipping to and fro, animal dung and sawdust filling the air, I thought to myself "Self, this is the most ridiculous f*cking story I have ever heard". It was only through prayer, fasting and electroconvulsive therapy that I was able to regain my testimony.

I was ROTFLMAO at all the comments. I love this guy. :-D

He is a superb writer and shows the church in its true colors!

Here's my favorite comment to his blog today, by "Insana":

"It's like trying to tempt a vegetarian with bacon to tempt a devout Mormon with reason and logic."
