The remarks that Grant Hardy delivered at the 2016 FairMormon conference earlier this month are now up online for your reading pleasure:
I’ve seen reports on the internet that I was enraged by what Grant said, and that, in concert with many of my colleagues, I’m still seething with almost ungovernable fury.
And it’s true that there are a few places in the talk where I may disagree.
(As the game seems to be played, if I say that I mostly agree with the talk, that proves that I really don’t. I’m overcompensating. Or something like that.)
I myself gave a talk at the 2013 FairMormon conference entitled “Toward a More Effective Apologetics”:
If you can get past the incessant mean-spirited personal attacks and name-calling of my 2013 comments, they might make for appropriate companion-reading alongside Grant’s more recent talk.
That’s all for now. The mere thought of what Grant said a couple of weeks ago has me reaching for my tranquilizers. Indeed, I may need to seek out professional counseling.
