How such an apparent conflict is approached and resolved determines how we react to a a religious conflict of intellect. The following text examples will be used. Anti-Bible statements made claiming that Christ is identical to Tammuz, etc. While that thesis can reconcile any doctrine, it has a solid logical basis and resolves conflicts between intellect and fact. Of those who do, see how many react with anger.
Denial is an easy answer to any crisis of intellect.
Anti-LDS often seem frozen in denial, but it is an easy answer and an easy method. My Tammuz example is used to cover acceptance. While this has provoked completely secular scholars to laughter, some have believed that the story of Christ is identical to that of Tammuz. First, they can return to the earlier belief. Third, they can continue to shift their beliefs in the direction the facts started them.
