No doubt. It is a demanding religion. Those I know who have left have left because they weren’t willing to live the moral rules, or pay tithing. The justifications based on disagreements with doctrine came later.
Apostate Muslims tend to be the most knowledgeable and vocal in highlighting the dangers of Islamic theology. Same deal here and that’s a good thing.
Malarky. We are not a threat to anyone. People keep trying to compare us to Muslims to scare the ignorant, but one of the tenets of our faith is being subject to governments, secular or not. Another tenet is respecting everyone’s right to worship as they please, including those that don’t agree with us. Muslims believe in supplanting secular governments with Sharia law, and in coercing people to convert. Those are the beliefs that are the direct cause of the violence we are experiencing now.
Ex-Mormons just can’t leave it alone because they have to spend the rest of their life proving to themselves that they were brilliant to leave and that we are stupid to stay.
