How has Mormonism survived modern scrutiny?

Yep.

Long time ago.

I have, however, largely left SDMB behind as a unithink wasteland. Ironic, really.

(The zombie threads got kind of annoying too.)

I actually sympathize, tho I visit & post almost daily. There are a LOT of religious & political threads I might otherwise take some interest in, but by the time I see them, their path has been established into anything but serious exchanges of ideas.
