The reality is it frustrates you that I have peered into your psyche and that it leaves you feeling naked. To further assuage your discomfort you then attempt to disrobe and dismantle the sacredness and power of my testimony through the lens of philosophy. Sophistry enables you to ignore sincere personal conviction, born of self-discovery and the inherent power of faith by claiming incompatibility –a silly notion and fundamental tenet of your flawed intellectual establishment approved dogma. You claim to have liberated yourself from LDS ideological tyranny and pretend that your aim is to encourage others to do the same; to be free thinkers and throw off the shackles of oppressive Mormon religion and culture. It is tragic that in your efforts to liberate you abhor and strive to oppress free thinking individuals that do not crave the bitterness and anger you use as a poultice on your guilt and anguish. Your aim is to create distractions in the hope that you are sufficiently occupied with erstwhile endeavors so that when the time comes you can excuse yourself as innocent. |

I'm coming in late on this evolution discussion, but this article spurred my participation. It kind of sums up how I feel about evolution and the role of God.
