Nobody except Mormon liberals and grapevine types really cares or even remembers what Benson said over the pulpit anymore. Mormon liberals think they're so much smarter than everyone else but don't give the rank and file nearly enough credit.

There was a thread on CG a week or two ago where it was observed that evangelicals dislike mormons precisely because their beliefs are so similar; evidence that it is human nature to be most distrustful of those who are most like us. I would argue that your loathing of Mormon liberals is more evidence of this theory. You seem to be disgusted by the fact that a group of LDS would have relatively honest and intellectual viewpoints regarding the faith but for whatever reasons have not chosen to reject the faith outright as you have. Particularly telling is your statement "
...when you belong to a community of poeple whom you find mostly so awful." You are clearly projecting your own biases with that statement. We love our people. In spite of our differences.
