Re: Ask a Mormon
I would generally agree with the guys on this one, D.
I think, too, though, that Mormonism places an unusually high emphasis on emotion. For example, missionaries are taught to do their best to generate strong emotions talking about love of Christ, and how you love your family and want to be with them forever. When a potential convert then mirrors those emotions, they are pointed out to them as the Holy Ghost telling them that the LDS church is true.
While I believe in emotion and intuition as very powerful tools of deity, I think that logic and empiric evidence should also agree.
