"I know that the history of the church is not to seek apologies or to give them," Oaks said in an interview. "We sometimes look back on issues and say, 'Maybe that was counterproductive for what we wish to achieve,' but we look forward and not backward. The church doesn't "seek apologies," he said, "and we don't give them." -- LDS Apostle Dallin H. Oaks That'

In other words, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Your hubby values his faith over facts. The long Mormon heritage may have something to do with it too. Family traits are passed along at a transcendent level in the morphogenetic field. Basically, he resonates with the beliefs of his ancestors. That's called Lamarckian evolution, which was discarded after Darwin but is making a comeback. If he w

It's partly underwritten by the Church. SLC pays $20M and TSCC pays $20M. That's for a city of 1M people. Not a bad deal, but TSCC gains from it. See http://www.sfgate.com/nation/article/Salt-Lake-City-a-model-for-S-F-on-homeless-5587357.php

I don't know why apostates stop believing in God just because Mormonism is a complete load of crap. I think it's the only way to process what has happened to them. Coming to that realization is psychologically devastating. If Mormonism works for you, great. It's all about belief. Belief leads to faith and faith leads to many good things. The problem is that some people can't believe in a bunch

Eisenhower got some new golf clubs. Er, no wait. It's 2015. As long as TSCC pushes its anachronistic male fantasy, it will lose young folks. Which is good because that's better than the train wreck that follows the eventual shelf collapse.

Mormonism is an exercise in subjective truth. If you believe, it's true to you. But it takes a lot of energy to put up walls around it and even more energy to keep facts from caving it in. Much more energy than was required in the 19th century. Life would be easier for everyone if Mormonism would just go away.

I'm sorry you had to go through this. You're like a blind person who suddenly sees. Now you have to figure out how to relate to sights. Mormonism is a male fantasy. From the male creator God (why are all other creators in nature female?) to patriarchy and polygamy. No wonder it makes women crazy. When I was single, all of the single adult women were crazy.

Porn throws your sacral chakra out of balance, which drains your creative energy. That's also why jocks lay off the sex before a big game. Victorian prudence gets it right by accident.
