Aaron, the ironic thing about your message is that you unintentionally strenghten an active LDS church member's testimony because of your ignorance.

When someone like SeattleUte sees a smooth sailing stream and wants to cause a ripple, he throws a boulder into the water and watches it splash and make waves. He snickers for a moment, but eventually the water smoothes out and the stream flows smoothly again. The spectators on shore were briefly splashed, but dry out relatively quickly.

You however, stand 200 feet from the stream, hold out your George McFly notepad and shout to the crowd below whatever is written in the notebook, and then you hold up pictures of other people throwing rocks into other streams. When someone ashore asks you a question, (usually trying to figure out what the hell you are trying to say), you simply hold up another photo that you found on Google Images and printed.

To simplify my point, you attempt to present yourself as someone who is trying to spread a message and save us from deception. But instead, all you have done is painted yourself as a person who wants to challenge LDS doctrine, but can't find anything to fight it with. You do not have any weapons in your arsenal; you only have a few phantom feathers.

At least there are those of us who wish differently.
