Well, I think I've heard it all now. A guest commentator in the Salt Lake Tribune is defending the truthiness of the mormon church based on how she *feels* about it. Wow. If only feeling for something made it true. If only believing in something made it true. If only sacrificing for something made it true.
David Koresh's followers believed they were following the truth...Jim Jones' followers believed they were following the truth....Heaven's Gate's followers believed they were following the truth...all to their death. 'Certainly they would not have suffered for something that wasn't true'.
Be careful about defining truth by what people *feel* *believe* or even *spiritual experiences* they have had. These things are plentiful in the world and exist in all religions. These are not exclusive to the mormon church.
