Hey, Who Are You Calling a Cult?

The LDS Church is less of a cult than many of the religions that accuse it of being one. (Orson Scott Card, Mormon apologist)

This is the same guy...

Speaking of his acquaintance Hugh Nibley, Card said that as a young man, he thought to himself:

“the epiphany I had as a child: If someone this smart, this rigorous of thought, this widely and deeply educated, believes that Joseph Smith was a prophet, the Book of Mormon is true, and the Church is God’s kingdom on earth, then I will not let myself get swept away by whatever questions come up during my life. I’ll question my questions, I’ll doubt my doubts, confident that one way or another, everything will be reconciled.”

-Orson Scott Card, How Hugh Nibley blesssed the church, Monday Aoril 27, 2009

HERESAY is NOT accepted in ANY court of the land!

And HERESY (MORMONism) is no longer going to get a free pass!
