The Word of Wisdom has not evolved so much as it has simply changed. The fact is that in Sunday School classes across the land, teachers struggle to formulate questions worth asking and class members reel off thoughtless answers. Stupification is a better description than "evolution." Take a look at the Church manuals from 70 years ago. They are vastly more accurate, thoughtful, and interesting than the "evolved" bilge that is served up today. Deep, broad debate continues to go on, it just happens at the risk of fundamentalists trying to exclude people from callings, or of people being otherwise marginalized.
