My understanding is that your conversion was based primarily on the goodness and love of your Mormon friends. If other evidence were to convince you that the Mormon God does not exist, would you expect them to continue to treat you with goodness and love?
If other evidence were to convince you that the Mormon God does not exist, and you disclosed this fact to them or they otherwise learned of it, would you expect them to continue to treat you with goodness and love?
Pardon me for answering a question directed to someone else.
Sad love, certainly, but love. I’ve experienced this second-hand; I know a number of people who left the church, who are still in good contact with their friends and families. Sure, the friends and families wish they would come back, but they respect that everyone must choose his own path. That there is the key tenant of “agency”, or freedom of choice; that’s the freedom we fought for in the pre-existence.

I think I’ve seen this error from you twice now so it’s probably not just a typo: “tenet”, not “tenant”.
Oh, wonderful! Thank you. :3 Yes, this is a common error of mine; one I’m trying to shake.
