Well, I think I'm going to refrain from any more "reconciliation" posts. I merely started because I was asked how I possibly could reconcile my beliefs and the LDS Church's.
I forget such people really don't care how I reconcile. They just want to make fun of my beliefs in an attempt to shame me into shedding them.
Doesn't work.
Sorry -- well, not really... or at all.
And since I don't think my beliefs are required for others' salvation, I don't feel the need to share them in a public sphere where people willingly come to feel offended because I don't believe what they do and then can't discuss things logically, respectfully, and meekly.
I don't know where your readers came from, literally out of the woodwork to criticize you in the previous posts. Weird. Well, I am glad you've shared what you've shared. It's helpful for me, at least.
ReplyDeleteDitto, Ezra. Damn, where did they come from?
ReplyDeleteI especially enjoyed those who swore "NOW I'm never coming back" "Er, I mean after this post."
Comeon.
I enjoyed the posts thoroughly; I hadn't looked at the Proclamation or 132 in that light before, and I thank you for sharing it. I'm sorry the assholes came out of the wordwork to shoot you down. Much as I want to encourage you to flip 'em off and do what you wanted to do, I understand why you're stopping.
Just know you had many behind you.
Thanks, Ezra & Lisa. You've made me decide to start up another blog. See my next post for details.
