Daniel C. Peterson has his share of antagonists, some of whom have accused him of being a "lying mercenary."
But the Brigham Young University professor has one question for those who feel he's out for financial gain.
"When's the check going to arrive?" Peterson said.

Humor, after all, is one of his best defenses. As an individual who embraces opportunities to answer critics of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Peterson is the recipient of what he calls an "absolutely enormous amount" of hostility. But it doesn't discourage him from speaking out.
While he laughs off those who accuse him of having less-than-honorable intentions...

Peterson also participates in online conversations about the church -- saying he spends "way too much time" on the Internet. He's an advocate of making as much information available online as possible. "To a certain extent, our critics have owned the Internet for a while," he said. "And I'm not willing to cede that to them.

He's even been accused of having too much fun. But even when it's an unpleasant situation, Peterson will take the time to defend the church -- saying he feels "morally obligated."

He only goes for the low hanging fruit.

He avoids things that he cannot mo'pologize like the 1835 edition of the D&C 101:4

Peterson has impressive academic credentials. But he's best known as a defender of the LDS Church -- a designation he doesn't mind.

As we've been saying.
