No, not here. Over here<\/a>.\u00a0 Good stuff, go read it. (T&S had a similar interview in 2004, part one<\/a>, part two<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Mormons<\/a>, living in a certain way is more important than believing in a certain way. We can infer much more about what or who a person is from what he does than from what he believes (or claims to believe) \u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeaking differently to different audiences does not necessarily imply contradiction. We do it all the time. When we talk among our friends about what goes on in our families, we are not likely to provide the same details or explanations as if we were talking within the intimacy of the family circle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems that for mainline Catholics and Protestants, all extra-biblical ideas are forgivable as long as they embrace a Trinitarian deity, but Mormons can\u2019t be permitted their extra-biblical ideas and still be part of the Christian \u2018family.'\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSociologists who have studied NRMs and their critics have long since realized that apostates are among the least reliable sources of information and understanding about a religion, since they always write in an expos\u00e9 mode to vindicate their own change of feelings.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
