I’ve wondered why we are so quick to put down divergent views. It might be rooted in our persecuted past, in the exclusive view we hold of the restoration of the gospel, in our view of the eternal battle between good and evil, or perhaps in fear that others’ doubts will somehow harm our family or our own belief. Whatever the reason, judgment and criticism too often seem to permeate our culture, causing people to feel as if they cannot belong.
