~”And yet you weave and bob and wordwarble rather than simply enumerate the heresies you claim exist in Christendom proper.”~
Wordwarble... Very nice word. I’ll have to remember that.
I am refraining from listing the very many doctrinal flaws that are existent in mainstream Christianity, because I have no personal stake in discrediting mainstream Christianity. The reverse cannot be said about the anti-Mormon. Is this difficult for you to relate to? I hope not.
I do have a personal stake in defending Mormonism - principally that I consistently learn more and more which reinforces and strengthens my own beliefs.
Perhaps that is a foundational motivation for the anti-Mormon as well? Perhaps such a person is not truly trying to convince others of the falseness of Mormonism, but is really only trying to convince him or herself? It can’t be an accident that a disproportionate number of ex-Mormons become ardent anti-Mormons. There’s a lot of convincing to be done there, after all.
It’s a pity that such a person is so weak in his or her own faith that he or she finds it necessary to try to undermine the joy that others have found in order to find his or her own.
I find this troubling.
