LETTER: Cult column was opposition for opposition’s sake

To the Editor:

I found Liz Emery’s article to be simply terrible.  It was unsubstantiated, unclear in purpose, and designed to bring out the worst in both Mormon apologists and Mormon adversaries.  It clearly shows a desire to start an argument, using inflammatory language, vagaries, and demonstrating the worst of yellow journalism.  However, I will defend to the death her right to continue with such unsubstantiated, inflammatory, purposeless articles, because her right to freedom of speech and her right to freedom of the press are implicitly tied to my right to freedom of religion.  I am secure enough in my faith to not need to fight about it.  I hope for the day when individuals will no longer see the need to be contrarian for the sake of being contrarian.
