Why? Keats didn't have it.
From what I remember he did take a little time to write his books.
He died at 26 and wrote the bulk of his mature work during a single year.
I know. I will concede he is faster then me.
"Surely he knows that DCP, The Nehor, Lamanite, and other key apologists..." -Scratch clarifying my status in apologetics "I admit it; I'm a petty, petty man." -Some Schmo

I find Tsuzuki to be one of the sanest people on MADB. By quite a ways...!
Someone should point this out to him. I don't know if he'd appreciate it or be insulted by it. Probably more likely he'd quote someone about it.

Better check out "when I have fears that I might cease to be" for inspiration...or depression...or both!
My reading list is too long already but I'll pencil it in. Thanks. :)

When I have fears that I may cease to be Before my pen has glean’d my teeming brain, Before high-piled books, in charact’ry, Hold like rich garners the full-ripen’d grain; When I behold, upon the night’s starr’d face, Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance, And think that I may never live to trace Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance; And when I feel, fair creature of an hour, That I shall never look upon thee more, Never have relish in the faery power Of unreflecting love — then on the shore Of the wide world I stand alone, and think Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.

I don't think anger is part of it at all. I don't think quality polemics is conducive of anger.
Is there similar feelings from people who leave catholic methodist or even islam?
I don't think you are correct in attributing anger to people who discuss and debate religion, but I'm sure you wouldn't have any trouble finding a critic of religion who used to be catholic, methodist, or muslim. Ever heard of Salman Rushdie?
And is there an end goal? Do people here want the church to shut down?
I do, but not just the Mormon church. The end goal for me, would to help influence our species in a way that convinces us to stop praising and respecting people for pretending to know things they do not know. That's just the beginning.

I doubt I appreciate it fully (as fully as others do), but I know it's beautiful. I do know that much...
It is a remarkably simple and straightforward question. What's not to understand about it? (It may make it easier for you to understand the question were you to just read the question as is, and not to mistakenly load it up by reading in false presuppositions and motives).
Again, will you be answering the question anytime soon?
Thanks, -Wade Englund-
I don't understand simply because the post which you responded to stated nothing about stereotypes. What about my post brought stereotyping to mind?
