I understand what your point was perfectly. Nevertheless, the way you presented it was a fallacy in argumentum as was my tongue in cheek response. You cannot know what 99% of the Church thinks anymore than I could know what any of those groups think. Just throwing out meaningless statics might shore your argument up in your mind though.

Like I said, you appealed to a red herring. I think intelligent people can realize the LCM's view of apostleship is in the tiny minority. Describing it as 1% is probably very generous. It's probably closer to 0.0001%. So count your blessings and quit griping.
