The count of zero, which is also the amount of credibility that Simon brings to the entire question.


Be honest, did I misinterpret those two statements as somehow contradictory? If so, please explain...

He said that Stak wasn't "automatically" disqualified, but that still leaves open the question of his qualifications. So, there isn't an actual contradiction there.

Simon is the only poster I'm aware of who has ever actually openly praised SHIELDS.

Well, it is excellent fodder for students of religion, psychology, and anthropology. So, as a resource for understanding Mopologetics, it is hard to top. Is that praise? I think so.

Not being LDS doesn't automatically disqualify a person from commenting on things LDS.

Not being LDS and having very little experience with LDS people, combined with often using the made-up word "mopologist" makes me call into question whether that person had the background necessary to wistfully look back upon "the days..." past of Mormonism, or of Mormonism current.

That's all.

Simon confronts a lot of useful information here that he somehow manages not to internalize.

They aren't. They evolve over time.
