		<description><![CDATA[Visitor Sunde asked a question on the post &#8220;Why do Mormons believe in works?&#8220;, that I think deserves broader attention.  It&#8217;s a very good question that many looking at the Mormon faith might ask.  I thought I&#8217;d make a dedicated post out of it, allowing us to carry on the conversation in it&#8217;s own area.

		<description><![CDATA[In the recent post &#8220;A quest for spiritual knowledge&#8220;, the comments quickly became centered around two distinct topics.  The one being blacks and the priesthood, which was thoroughly covered within the comments on that post.  The other was regarding the practice of polygamy early in the church.  It was to this point that Matt G.

		<description><![CDATA[Recently the topic of evidence-seeking has come up frequently in comments on my posts, and I decided it warranted further exploration. Is it weakness or folly to believe without evidence as Larry suggests in the comments here?  Or is it weakness or folly to require evidence to believe?

It&#8217;s clearly not always the case- there are true spiritual giants among [...]]]></description>

His words inspired me to create this [...]]]></description>
