What are the odds?

Discussions about negotiating relationships between faithful LDS believers and the apostates who love them. This applies in particular to mixed-faith marriages, but relations with children, parents, siblings, friends, and ward members is very welcome.

What are the odds?

Post by deacon blues »

I have had success discussing my critical views of the LDS church using this perspective- I could be wrong.
I explain that I honestly believe that there is a possibility that the Church could be true. Yes, I honestly believe, with my understanding of the limitations of the human mind that that is a possibility. To be more precise: the possibility is between 1% and 5-10%, depending on my mood, but it is honest. ;)
I'm reminded of this C.S. Lewis quote: "Now that I am a Christian I do have moods in which the whole thing looks very improbable: But when I was an atheist I had moods in which Christianity looked terribly probable." Mere Christianity p. 140. :o
As Voltaire said: Uncertainty is uncomfortable, but certainty is ridiculous."
There are likely exceptions. :lol:
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.
