Why Mormons are so resistant to knowledge...

Knowledge doesn't always tell you what you want. Faith does.

Exactly. Knowledge might upturn everything that they hold dear as being true.

Re: Why Mormons are so resistant to knowledge...

Yep.
However, personally I'd rather know -- and deal with what really is -- than believe, and pretend the universe is the way I want it to be.
Clearly not everyone is like that.

They confuse feelings with knowledge. If you know it you show it empirically.

Re: Why Mormons are so resistant to knowledge...

Is this your own statement, or is it a quote from someone else? If a quote, I would like to know the source so that I can add it to my quote collection.

Nope. It's original.

Comes from sitting and comtemplating while smoking a pipe. Which further hampers Mormons from ever having an original thought.
