That's it. It all comes down to evidence. You either base your thinking on it, or you just believe--untethered, unimpeded by the lack of evidence.

Are your beliefs untethered?

If I had the time and resources, I would create a mirror version of Interpreter which uses the same tactics to defend the church of Scientology and all of its insane theology.
Because using Interpreter’s tricks and tactics, you can prop up any idea you want. The truth never enters into it or hinders your endeavor.
Realizing this is a very important step out of Mormonism, to join the rest of reasonable thinking human beings who rightfully dismiss Mormonism’s truth claims.

Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.
