Mormonism's founding stories and your faith.

Typical SU. Ask a question, leave no option to answer.

Too binary, not enough grey or room for nuance.

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.

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.
