Light and Truth Letter: Decline of Mopologetics

Thanks for the reminder, Shades.

I clicked on the link and read for about a minute. If this guy spent years analyzing every sentence of the CES letter (fyi, I've never read it) over and over and from new angles, then his doubt never left him with much curiosity about the world to begin with. I'm sure it wasn't much of a challenge for RFM to respond to it; probably wouldn't be a good use of my time to go further than I have.

In a recent episode, what was highlighted by RFM and Kolby Reddish was the astounding dishonesty of the author, which they illustrated using his appearance on Ward Radio. Bringing together the worst of the worst, you might say.

TLD: "Gerald and Sandra Tanners’ legacy is one of abject failure."

Oh, I dunno. They've destroyed the faith of a lot of people and torn a fair number of families apart. It's a legacy of sorts, I guess.

Mopologists must believe they’re somehow holding families together, the quality of the argument be damned.

“Pardon us ma’am, we’re Mopologists on a mission from God.”

I haven't seen any of them, are they mini-Rogans?

Perfectly describes WARD. Both are equally credulous and manipulative. See my thread about WARD completely misunderstanding and misrepresenting Bart Ehrman’s discussion of the Book of Mormon witnesses.

Abject failure? So bad that the church conceded pretty much every argument they made in all of those church essays essentially confirming the Tanner's arguments on each and every essay theme! How deeply ironic!

Mopologists will defend every deed the Church does, both the good deeds and the bad deeds. They are at their most vociferous for the bad deeds perhaps because of the nature of apologetics.
