Blaine, I find it interesting that you acknowledge these things in light of the voluminous evidence that has been presented to you regarding the false nature of Mormonism. Is it possible that you, too, are included in the groups you identify? If it is a "human tendency" thing, I do not see why not! Perry As far as it goes, yes, I am included.  But regards this "voluminous evidence,"   I pay no attention to it, since it is all bitterness and gall.   Blainerb
