Training young mormons to duck tough questions

Robert Millet is a respected (in LDS circles) apologist for mormonism, shown here teaching apparently mormon youth preparing for their missions....



A couple of interesting things Millet says:

- Young mormons already know more about God and Jesus than the people who might question them.

- He doesn't respond to questions posed by hypothetical people, he responds instead to the questions they should have asked.

- "We never provide meat when milk will do"

I.e. we avoid the tough questions by dancing around them. It is instructive to watch, as anyone who has tried to witness to mormons will attest, it is a tough thing to pin down, in large part because they have ingrained in them that anyone who questions mormonism is either ignorant or out to get them...
