Worth sharing:

BYU professor Kirk Belnap teaches that apostasy from the Mormon religion leads to "outright hatred". "Hatred is the end result of apostasy. Hatred." Strong emphasis is put on the role of "offense" leading to apostasy. "Offense leads to betrayal which leads to hatred."

This sort of goes along with the theme of demonization in my article.

Yes we sense your nonsensical hatred. Why do you abuse your child?

Archaea, if you're in Utah, I'd like you take you out to lunch sometime.

Hi aaron. Back for more?

I'm still waiting for you to regale us with your adventures at the conference center amongst the infidel hordes.

Did you witness any drive-by baptisms and confirmations? Did anyone dust their feet off and your car caught on fire?

Don't disappoint us, brother.

Lunch in Utah, hahahaha. No I have better wastes of time. Plus I don't slam hometeachers when they come by my house.

Hah, I don't even go to conference anymore. It's too much of a circus... for many reasons. I'd mostly rather stay down here in Utah County, tract, and chat it up with regular folks.

Then why don't you chat it up with us instead of doing your drive-by posting of links? Tell me about what you believe Aaron - don't tell me about what I believe.

hay, Aaron actually professes belief in something other than enslavement of his wife and abuse of his child.

Does Aaron meet with the KKK after bashing it out with a hometeacher? I heard some chickens squeal, after he met with them. Did somebody say, "Deliverance?"

BigFatMeanie, where have I told you what you personally believe? Does it offend you when I quote LDS authorities and other Mormons? If what I believed was false, I would want someone to show me (especially by using source material), regardless of whether they quickly provided a worldview alternative for me. I often like to ask people: "If Mormonism were false, would it still be worth believing?" and "If Mormonism wasn't true, and was destructive, should people help expose the falsehood of Mormonism to Mormons?"

By the way, I have a web site largely dedicated to a straightforward presentation of what I believe. It is BiggerGod.com
