This is important.  Please consider.

The mention of the CES letter, probably not a good thing to say. OOPS! I see that it is what not to say. But this woman even mentioning this alone is bad enough.

" 15) If you knew what I knew about Joseph Smith…"
" 19) Believing in God is like believing in Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, etc."
