I think we learn something about people from who their enemies are. The vocal opponents of Mormonism have done more to convince me that my own suspicions about Mormons are probably unfounded than anything an actual Mormon ever said.
That being said I still think they mistranslated "Jesus" into "Cheeses" somewhere along the line, whereas their enemies seem to have translated "love" into "spastic insanity with a side of malice"... which one would think would be a difficult mistake to accomplish.
And WE 'learn' about MORMONism by listening to what it's LEADERS say!
LDS Apostle Bruce McConkie wrote,
"The Father is a glorified, perfected resurrected, exalted man who worked out his own salvation by obedience to the same laws he has given to us so that we may do the same."
