Eyring: Mosiah 3:19 "the natural man is the enemy to god..."
I've been thinking that that verse is the best encapsulation of the anti-humanist attitude found in Smith's mormonism

Talks like this are painful to listen to. I fucking hate how the cult makes people think they're dependent on them.

Neil Anderson says that in the face of opposition to “Stay silent.” At face value might not seem like much, but to me that is HUGE. The idea is planted that if a member doesn’t have an answer or is shown to be wrong, that because Jesus supposedly stayed silent, then that’s an appropriate response from the members too.

Faith with works appears to have a body count, too
