A
woman from our ward sent an email the other day "because she was
concerned about my kids." She actually said, and I quote, "I hope you're
still teaching them that the gospel is true, even though you may not
believe it anymore."
................. Well, of COURSE I am, lady! I
mean, why would I teach them to think for themselves, to reason
logically, and to test out the efficacy of Joseph/Brigham/Thomas's
claims when I could just teach them to believe? I mean, I clearly don't
believe it, but that doesn't make it untrue!
So after noting the above on facebook, I then wrote the following: "Gee whiz. What
the heck do you say to that?"
The replies were hysterical, mostly stating that I should've told her to kiss off, but one gent sent a fabulous link that I HAD to share. This is from the blog of one Chris Tolworthy, who himself notes at the top that most of his blog entries were back during his "angry" phase of disaffection, but it makes this particular entry no less awesome.
Check it out HERE, and for heaven's sake, protect your kids from Mormonism!!!
"I hope you're still teaching them that the gospel is true, even though you may not believe it anymore."
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Why would you want to teach your kids to believe in something you don't? I mean, Santa Claus is one thing, but a religion that can influence every decision you will ever make and swallow your identity?
What a dumb thing for someone to say.
I'd never seen that link before, either, it was quite a read!
