Rules to suit one, tread's on what another holds as a value.
The government which governs best, governs least.
I know you vociferously protested against more rules, because it spoils your "free speech" party to defame and slander Mormons and Mormonism. That's what you call "free speech", anyway.

Your Dr Peterson might very well be one of them.
And there's no scientific support for any of this, and definitely no anecdotal support. Nope. Can't even be considered.
It's all "emotional", and "unstable" to believe any such things.
Got it. Very open minds here, that's for sure. Draw the conclusion, then defend it with personal dogma, and in the process, don't forget to remind us that science has all truth.
Then, Ray, present the non-emotional evidence to support the truth claims of the LDS Church.
