“Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles and poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truth is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.”

Hypatia of Alexandria

Yes, I have found anti Mormonism to work this way. It's very insidious, especially among children who grow up in inactive families.

Hypatia was the main character in a recent movie set against apostate christianity. I thought it was pretty good.

I love it. Hypatia was not murdered by a Christian mob. She was murdered by an apostate mob.

If Joseph Smith had been there, he would have saved her all right - probably for wife number 34.

(See, I managed to joke about it.)

Let's see, 300+ years after Christ? Yep, apostate christianity. I merely presented commonly accepted LDS thinking on the matter.

(See, I managed to joke about it.)

And I thought it was funny.

She has pretty big muscles. I imagine she would beat me up if we got in a fight.
