From the time I was very small, my father told me that I would question absolutely everything.
"You would argue with God himself if he was standing right in front of you."
It was supposed to be an insult, but it has turned out to be a prophecy.
Mormonism is not a religion for those who don't question God and fully expect to get an answer. The entire foundation of everything we believe in comes from a teenage boy doing that exact thing.
That's how I ended up here. That's why I joined.
So I'm gonna put this in words everyone should be able to understand, including Elder Renlund.
I ignored my daddy when he spoke to me with that fundamental lack of respect for and understanding of who I am as a person, and I see no reason to change that now.
When I want advice on how to have the inner spiritual life of unseasoned store brand oatmeal, I'll ask for it. Until then, I'll stick to what I know.
Presumably, if my Heavenly Parents had a problem with women asking questions, they would've made us all stupid enough to believe everything men say.
