Robin's experience with the Church sounds quite similar to my own. At some point I realized that I just didn't belong. I often tell my wife that while I don't believe that the Church is true, I don't discount the possibility that it could be true. But I add that even if it were true, It's not something that I really want to be a part of. God may indeed be playing a cosmic game of hide-and-seek with us, but it's a game that I don't enjoy and one that I choose not play.

Why when dogma is questioned, is trolling the first thing that comes to mind?
I always found it odd in the LDS community the vitriol associated with thought outside the mainstream. I always found it weird that people in the LDS get offended when different points of view are presented.
