I saw this on Facebook today and it immediately made me think of everyone here at RfM.

nice, that is why the morg is so mad right now, because the truth is coming out. TBMs need to humble themselves and accept the truth for what it is, and they would be in a better mood.

Isn't that the truth. I can think of so many situations where this has been the case.

If a Mormon read this they would think it applied to them -- "the reason why people don't like us Mormons is that we speak the truth while they are living a lie." In fact I could see this going up on meeting house bulletin boards throughout the world. Right next to the flyer for the "Exploring the Book of Mormon in America’s Heartland" tour.

I like that. Thanks for sharing.

I find it funny that some people get rather offended/upset/frustrated by telling them something that is counter to their beliefs(s). For example, "I find no evidence that Joseph Smith was who he claimed he was (e.g. prophet)" or "The Mormon church does not have a monopoly on what is truth" or "The Book of Mormon is just a series of stories and has no basis in reality".

However, if someone tells me that my belief(s) is/are wrong, I don't feel any animosity. I believe this is so because I have reasons for my beliefs that are based on solid/reliable evidence. I am empowered by my beliefs and my beliefs are extensions of my experiences and observations in life. Not a set of beliefs given to me from a religious entity, which would typically have no basis of reality and sort of leave the believer in a position to find reasons and try to discover evidence to fit or contort to their given beliefs. In essence, they are "living a lie".
