yuck. Shawn needs to get off his soap box. ppl are finding peace in and out of mormonism and they are suicidal and making horrific decisions in and out of religion. if he thinks it's just bc they left a religion he's got blinders on. so what if marriages break up, ppl start drinking etc. they are on a path to figuring out themselves. there will be hard times but out of the experiences hard or not comes the finding of oneself. many are lost in religion bc they haven't listen to themsleves
And if Noam Chomsky ever comes at me in a dark alley...you better believe he'd be sorry.
