Why do seemingly smart mormon people refuse to do any homework when it comes to their faith? I read up on what the atheists are saying then go on to see if there is any truth it.
Why are Mormons afraid to test their faith?
Are they afraid of what they might find?

They are afraid of what they will find. Mormons want Mormonism to be true more than they want the truth. It is constantly pounded into their head to not look too deep or they will ‘lose their’ testimony.
And for most, leaving Mromonism comes at a very great price - loss of family, almost all your friends, social circle, sometimes job and housing as well. Because the cost is so great, and they have been brainwashed to believe if “Mormonism isn’t true, nothing is”, they would rather rely on the ‘good feelings’ than really seek the truth. That is why getting them mad enough to actually read the sources to prove we are lying works so well. It gets them out of the comfort zone and to actually read the LDS sources that the LDS filters for them.
Ironically, most Mormons are intellectually and spiritually lazy. Probably a result of them being spoonfed everything.
