Good Article - written by a non-Mormon
So I must admit, I really feel joy when someone can write a piece without slamming the Mormons. Whether or not they agree with us is a different matter, but I love it when journalists are fair. This is a fair assessment of Mormon theology. Not very long, and a good read.
Smart Mormons

It is a good article. I posted it on the lds.net facebook page a few days ago.

Wow, that was one of the most fair descriptions of our theology (the part that he touched on) I've ever seen that was written by a non-Mormon! Thanks for sharing.

Hidden between the lines of the article is a sometimes lost truth understood by every devout LDS (Mormon). That is - regardless of one's religious preference - If one loves liberty, Mormons are an ally that must be included in the fight to preserve liberty. And that to reject LDS as a people is a step in giving up one's liberties.
I would submit that an individuals view of Mormonism is a litmus test in understanding and committing to Liberty - but it is hardly the only test. The Traveler

Yes, it is always pleasant to read a respect article which isn't trying to convert or trying to demean.
Thanks for sharing.

His understanding of the premortal council and Lucifer's fall is wrong, but frankly I've heard the same story told by so many Mormons that his understanding is well within the LDS norm. And it's at least much better and more coherent than the typical presentation of LDS doctrine by non-believers.

This non-member understands the core foundational principles that underpin our entire set of beliefs and it's sad that so many members don't seem to get it or just ignore it.
Smart Mormons believe and support Liberty, Agency and Accoutability ...and support the rights of the not-so-smart to choose captivity and tyranny as well.
