ABC4 - Mary Batchelor’s comments
ABC 4
“I really respect the church’s position on it, I really do, and I feel like I understand their need to distinguish themselves from those who choose to practice polygamy today.”
Mary Batchelor says that she is independent. She believes in the principle but she does not practice it, and she says, she’s Mormon.
“I think it’s ironic that the church feels comfortable telling people that they can’t be considered Mormon, when they themselves have experienced the same thing from Christian denominations telling them they can’t be called Christian, and they obviously clearly do believe they are Christian. I clearly do believe I’m Mormon.”

Well put Mary.
Just because you believe it doesn’t mean it’s true. All of us have to find the way in this tough world. Anyone who seriously studies the great religions of the world will find Mormonism is a tiny blip that counts for next to nothing.
What are you saying exactly? Hm. My belief in Mormonism does not make Mormonism true, is that what you are saying? Whoever said that it did? Regardless, I’m entitled to my own faith and you’re welcome to yours.
Barry Forbes, you are one person out of a global population of over 6 billion. Do you not consider yourself “a tiny blip that counts for next to nothing”?
