Mormons claim they “know” God exists, yet cannot back up this claim with empirical science-based evidence.
Therefore, it can be seen as nothing more than emotional persuasion.
“If there were proof that a god
exists, you wouldn’t believe in
it — you’d have knowledge of it.”
You wouldn’t need faith,
because you’d have facts.
These facts could then be proven
to anyone else. They could be
repeated, tested and
demonstrated.
What you have is a story that
you want to believe. That’s it.
