God’s witness ?

A Mormon amateur apologist writes: It’s a familiar sentiment. But it’s not one restricted to the Mormons - people who would loudly (and rightly!) deny that the Book of Mormon has any status as Scripture would say much the same about their own beliefs.But why should they be taken any more seriously than this Mormon ?

I suppose it is human nature to assign the penultimate status to your own belief.When I first got saved in 1993, I found myself researching my own chosen belief in the context of the apologetic books (and later websites) of that time. jar, our friendly resident curmudgeon, educated me on how to be unbiased and more objective in my learning. I watch how our member Faith defends her beliefs stubbornly and determinedly, never allowing herself to be fully objective and unbiased, but I think this has to do with human nature.An example of articles that I used to read include ones like this:
The Big Religion ChartEven today, I have a problem with 100% objectivity because it goes at odds with my belief which I hesitate to throw away in the name of objectivity. I also have a problem assigning the same value to any belief apart from my own. I was always taught (and believed) that standing for something was better than falling for just anything (or nothing).Edited by Phat, : addedEdited by Phat, : No reason given.
