Within the limits of possible knowledge, epistemologically speaking, I am as certain as a person could reasonably be that Mormonism is not True. Assuming, arguendo, the truth of Christianity, I believe that Mormonism’s claims to truth cannot possibly be true because of fatal flaws in the fundamental Mormon teachings about the Great Apostasy and [...]

I’m trying to work through some things, some concerns and difficult Christianity issues, and I’m not finding an easy resolution to any of it. In the meantime, it’s leaving me feeling extremely vulnerable. Small.
My problem is this- I want to follow Jesus, but I don’t know the right way to do it. I’m looking for [...]
I Need Help, I Think

I just don’t know if I can figure all of this (Christianity, God, Jesus, what I believe and how I believe it and how I should express it) out on my own. I’ve read tons of books on Christianity and I’m reading the Gospels, but at the same time I still have so many concerns [...]

I had a great discussion with my mother a few days ago (she’s a true believing Mormon) about the difference between faith and testimony in Mormon theology, and I’ve been mulling around some thoughts about it ever since.
“Testimony,” as commonly used by Mormons, is an unfortunate term. It’s an umbrella term, a thought-construct composed [...]

A Good Person

I’ve been thinking of reasons why I would decide to believe in God and/or Jesus Christ despite my inability to prove God’s existence (or nonexistence) in a satisfactory way and despite my unfortunate dearth of much-desired mystical experiences. Like I’ve said before, the same process that allowed me to walk away from Mormonism has left [...]
