A Belated Congrats to LifeOnaPlate

I noticed this over on the ironically named Mormon Dialogue board:

Wow--way to go, LoaP. Quite a nice step up from relying on FARMS, FAIR, and the CES for one's religious education.

I discovered that it was just as important to learn how to answer questions for myself as it was to try and provide answers for other people. I learned that people at FAIR have different opinions than I did about various LDS beliefs. I learned that there are a lot of unanswered questions. I learned how to ask better questions. On my own I started reading more widely about the philosophy of history, and about theology and other subjects. I became interested in religious studies. Now I'm a grad student at Georgetown University working on a master's degree in religious studies.
