"I think I would rather continue to live in a fairy tale and enjoy the blessings of delusion which is more peaceful than reality."

This is perhaps the best and only useful quote that you have on your website. You must have been a pretty weak minded moron (ooops I meant 'Mormon') to have walked away from the church because you questioned the little you actually understand about life and it's purposes. I am not going to even question you're understanding of what you knew about the gospel because it only seems that you left the church without really even trying to understand the gospel beccause you think the church is in error and yet teaches a better gospel than all other christian churches combined. Who cares that someone told you to "read the scriptures more" or "pray more" or "if you go to church you will be better for it and you will see, yes, you will see!" or blah blah blah, seriously, who cares? And that offended you enough to insure that that woud be your argument for leaving the church, so weak! Those are pretty simple principles to say the least but in the end you did the better thing than anything they could tell you and made up your mind, acted on your God-given, not self-elected, agency and moved on...but alas, the weak are still weak and you my moronic friend just cannot let go just like all the rest of your merry men who go around trying to bash and save what you cannot even touch. You're fooled if you think that fighting against this thing is going to win a war you have against something you are better against for what? Nothing, my friend, nothing! In the end, it is better that people like you are not even in the church because you always always always give it a bad name anyways with your lack of commitment. Good to see another person has gone for second-best in their lives, just as the world is tending toward anyways and your thinking and actions are so close to that worldly pertruding error-prone advocacy that you fit the mold again, a true second-bester, thanks for making the world a better place with your less than best efforst! Why did you go on a mission and why were you the "ambassador of mormonism" if you now quit? Pretty weak, man, pretty weak!

So, without the church, what have you made of yourself? Have you made any great inspired discoveries, or are you just happy in the fact that you are 'Ok' without the church, and that surprisingly enough God didn't smite you dead because you quit, but then again you're hell of fighting against the church is probably what you deserve anyways? Ain't that a great way to live life, quit something and then justify it because you are 'ok'! Did you go and get that Phd and go and solve all the worlds problems, or are you just happy that you get to stay home every Sunday and watch NFL Sunday ticket on Direct-TV, or at least you'll get to watch Tiger win all the majors this year and that makes you alright doesn't it? Hey, you can even go and drink with your non-member friends now because you are not a member of the church, and all because you feel 'Ok' without the church, good for you and better for the rest of us because you finally got what this life is all about and that is freedom to choose what you want, when you want and how you want, fantastic.

Thanks for being second best in life, just like the rest of the world!!

So, what's your point?
