“Began to Depend Upon Their Own Strength and Upon Their Own Wisdom”

Brant Gardner

Mormon gives us the perfect picture of rationalization. Humans are remarkably able to believe, but also remarkably able to support what we want to believe with a denial of the very things we can see. In this case, prophecies were being fulfilled, but the disbelievers were able to pass them off as lucky guesses.
