“Please explaim what those two natures are — with citations to authority”
Please answer my questions in post #51 to another Mormon. Thank you.
It's not just Romney who acts this way about Mormonism. It is all Mormons in general. They are very uncomfortable discussing their religion when someone questions it. They want it to look the very best it can and they are constantly afraid of saying the wrong thing, or being truthful about it but having others think it is way out there weird. Don't they whine a lot about people not understanding their religion? Well, here's a chance and they balk at it. No one seems to be truly comfortable in their Mormon religion. If they were, they would discuss it with ease, not feel the need to defend it, and let the cards fall where they may.
I can remember working one summer as a student before I was going on to BYU. The people I worked with were very curious about Mormonism when they found out I was Mormon. Quite natural, considering most people think of polygamy. Well, I tried to answer their questions as best I could and looking back now, they didn't ask difficult questions at all, but one guy commented that I don't need to feel so embarrassed, because I was getting red in the face and shaky when I was talking to them. Part of it could be I was never one to like the spotlight and have attention directed at me, but I think it was true that I felt very defensive and unsure thinking how weird it must sound to them.
If Romney can't see the point this author is making, well then it's his loss. You can't be believing in a weird religion and not expect people to have curiosity about and want to know more. If anyone goes to lds.org, they will be frustrated since it doesn't answer any questions and says go talk to a member. Kind of a runaround way; members don't want to answer your questions and apparently neither does the church. That just means they will find this site and have everything made clear. Yeah!
I would be most happy to do so -- if I were a Mormon, which I am not.
Now, would you please answer my question?
