If Mormonism were a cult, I would know it, and I would not be in it.

It's hard to take a statement like that seriously when it's made by someone wearing magic underpants.

That underwear stuff is a total ripoff of Masonry and designed to remind members of LDS of their allegiance to the church but, and I repeat, but not to God.

It is part of their rites to swear allegiance to the Church and in fact, they are not allowed to wear the underwear unless it is purchased from the church or temple or ward or....

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.”
