How do statements relate to the world?
The title probably isn't exactly the right question, but I couldn't quickly think of anything that would fit, so meh. I just wanted to run this poll here too. I know I'm asking a mostly different audience here, but I still thought it'd be useful. I'm especially interested in active LDS responses (are there any left here? ; ).

I get an error saying the form is invalid when I try to submit a response.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

Shades said a while back that polls no longer work since a recent software update.

I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis.

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

I would say the statement, "Jesus rose from the dead" is a statement of perceived fact, when uttered, even though there is no indication that Jesus actually rose from the dead.
