That is meaner than the other stuff that has been suggested. Making most Mormons think is punishment.

I did this all the time......when I was the teacher. Never as an attempt to embarrass or confuse but because thinking is fun and a faith that you can't explain and reexamine for new insights won't hold up to much of anything and either stagnates or dies.

Wow...such insightful posts from the critics. I certainly envy not being a critic. The level of intelligence was overwhelming for my brain to handle and you have certainly set a wonderful example for me to copy, if I ever decide to be a critic. (Yawn)
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world.
