My first thought is…I’ve never been shut down in such a way. I must keep more intelligent company than other folks.

second-I wonder if I’ve ever done it. If I have, it’s probably because… its what I believe! So my faith may be based on shallow research, that is the definition of faith. My disgruntled opponent needs to walk away and understand that I’m still learning, I’ll get there someday. Settle down you know.

my third thought comes from an idea that came to me in a Gospel Doctrine Class last year…”If we agree with the prophets, we say its inspired. If we disagree, we say it’s opinion.”

If someone wants to end their search for understanding at what the prophets have said, so be it. I know that there are sometimes that I just need a rest from certain topics. I need a time of peace. I find a crutch and lean on it until I can wrap my mind around a new idea. We’ll all get there, (well those who want to will) some just a little faster than others, and that is okay.
