it's all dog and pony show, style over substance— and yes, milk with no meat. My whole life I was told about the wonderful feast Mormonism is but always came away hungry. After years of trying be satisfied with it I'm done.
Perhaps I never was filled though because I never saw the feast for what it was. Remember the movie Hook? The feast Holland talks about like the banquet scene (see video below). In fact Rufio sounds like Holland a little.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkH-BWS1p-MOnly those who can 'make believe' can feast while those who prefer a more reality based approach see it as just big game. Call me unimaginative but I rather start at realsim and go from there.
In the end too it's ridiculous of Holland to criticize NOM types for being cafeteria Mormons when 1) the Brethren themselves can barely stand behind any given piece of LDS doctrine/teaching these days and 2) they will admit (only when forced to) that they are fallible.
