Mormonism's founding stories and your faith.

Too binary, not enough grey or room for nuance.

It says best describes. Pick the one that best describes you. If you find that poll too binary you're a wussy without convicitions. There are six options, some hardly differering from another.

First, do I believe in the literalness of all events? Do I disbelieve them all? No. Have I taken the time to quantify, more or less? No. Did I once believe in them literally and do I now take some of them metaphorically, or do I suspend judgment now or then? The aspect of temporality is not adjusted for. It is a poor poll.

I support Archea in this argument ... your questions endeavor to disect an answer into prosecutable portions.

SU you remind me of someone who has done something they are not sure about and hope others will follow to reaffirm that they did the right thing.
