The lack of critical thinking is a major weakness that orthodox members of the LDS Church will always have, as long as they “follow the Prophet”…
Sad…
"The lack is not in intelligence, which is in plentiful supply; rather, the scarce commodity is systematic training in critical thinking."

The more we want it to be true, the more careful we have to be. No witness's say-so is good enough. People make mistakes.People play practical jokes.People stretch the truth for money or attention or fame.People occasionally misunderstand what they're seeing.People even see things that aren't there.

After the earth dies, some 5 billion years from now, after it's burned to a crisp, or even swallowed by the Sun, there will be other worlds and stars and galaxies coming into being -- and they will know nothing of a place once called Earth.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.
