What I've Learned Debating Mormons on X (After 4+ Years)

After interacting with thousands of Latter-day Saints on X (formerly Twitter) since launching this channel in 2022, I've noticed some remarkably consistent patterns.In this video I discuss:* Why relatively few major Mormon critics actively engage on X* How faithful Latter-day Saints rapidly amplify each other's accounts* The role X Premium plays in expanding Mormon voices online* Why evidence so often gets replaced with personal attacks* The recurring accusations critics receive from believers* Why feelings and testimony aren't reliable methods for determining truth* The difference between utility and truth* Why I continue engaging directly in comment sections* The challenges of having productive conversations about Mormon truth claims* The enormous gap between my short-form and long-form audiencesThis isn't a criticism of every individual Latter-day Saint. Many members are thoughtful, kind, and sincere. Rather, it's an examination of recurring online behaviors I've observed after years of public conversations surrounding Mormonism.Whether you agree with my conclusions or strongly disagree, I encourage you to engage with the actual arguments presented rather than assumptions about my motivations.If you enjoy long-form discussions about Mormonism, religion, skepticism, and evidence, please consider subscribing.
