You have to realize Mike the bulk of the church is not like that. The bulk of the church is not as the perception goes out or is put out by the zealots. I think the church leaders are reasonable men and say reasonable things, it is the zealots that then enhance their words and as most zealots do, get heard the most.

Does anyone really think most kids at BYU are like what is the perception. Probably closer now under the current restrictions, but still not an accurate portrayal.

Once again, correct. recently on CB, there was an informal poll taken before the statewide vote on vouchers, just to see how closely the CB opinion mirrored the general Utah opinion. Turns out that it wasnt even close....the two are not aligned.

CB is populated with several extremists who are protected by a set of rules that allows them to run and post amok while dissenters are identified as rabble-rousers. I would even venture to guess that CB, if left completely unfettered, would actually be comprised of fewer mullahs than people here may believe.

So a prediction of mass apostasy when truth is finally revealed is nonsense...since many, or most, are already aware to one degree or another.

mike is not talking to me right now. Please pass him a note that says that I love him and want to help him, just as you do. mike uses the socratic method (poorly), overly dramatic hypotheticals, and multiple logins posing as different personalities to spur thought and to point out erroneous thinking. I simply use sarcasm.
