GuestI am a Robert Kirby fan and enjoy his wit. I particularly like his most recent column: http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/58167015-78/buddy-faith-pain-question.html.csp ” class=”bbcode_url”> http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/58167015-78/buddy-faith-pain-question.html.csp It is food for thought – my faith has caused me pain, and such pain was a part of my faith crisis. This is one I think everybody should read.

GuestDJ, Amen!
His issue is one of my biggest issues. It’s the thing that I just don’t get about Mormonism, well I get it I just don’t agree with it. I have made mention to this many times in this forum, but I just can’t believe that a loving Heavenly Father would want to divide families like that, IMHO. It doesn’t make any sense to me and I can’t believe He would want our belief to take precedent to treating our family and others with charity and love. IMO, His love and power to save is more expansive than we can understand.
I enjoyed the way Kirby approached the topic. Thanks for posting!

GuestLove this. :thumbup: My husbands first words this morning were, “Kirby hit it out of the park today.” We have a printed copy hanging on our refridgerator. We are going to add it to our growing binder of new essays, pro-big tent quotes and conference talks. Piece of genius.

GuestI too linked to it on Facebook. Best line of all: Quote:“Maybe you’ve decided to grudgingly accept this “lesser” Buddy for who he is now out of the goodness of your heart; that if you can’t love him the way your faith mandates, you can at least tolerantly pity him in a Christ-like way. If so, consider the very real possibility that you’re an idiot.”
