101 Reasons to Quit Believing in the Mormon God(s)

(From a Mormon's Perspective)

A Lifetime of Study

Being an active member of the Mormon Church for over 50 years, reading and studying the Bible, Book of Mormon and other religious books, and constantly seeking answers created many questions about one's beliefs.  This book is an attempt to discuss the many unanswered questions about Mormonism, Christianity, and God that have plagued the author for many, many years. Should a person just believe based on faith, or should there be rational evidence to support the beliefs? And is having so many reasons to quit believing in the Mormon Gods sufficient to discard beliefs that have brought some success and happiness?

Praise for 101 Reasons:

101 Reasons to Quit Believing in the Mormon God(s) undermines all the cozy excuses for the many teachings that just don't make sense about the Mormon religion. This is a book every thinking Mormon should read.  It will challenge any excuse for unanswered questions they have had over the years.  Those truly seeking the truth will find everything they need to know in Richard Nemelka's excellent book. —Shannon P. (recovering Mormon)

Mr. Nemelka’s compendium of questions, reservations, and dissection of the various and innumerable Deities worldwide, offers considerable food for thought.  Many of the questions 101 Reasons proffers could, and do, apply to religions across the spectrum. —Steve K. (retired CPA)

Whether one is an atheist, agnostic, or a true believer, this book is provocative and very compelling.
—Bill M. (regional insurance company VP)

In reading 101 Reasons, I discovered details that have substantiated points of confusion and dismay in the transitioning doctrines of the Mormon Church. These 101 Reasons were well thought out and documented and extremely insightful.  —Kelly M. (dentist)

Mr. Nemelka’s compendium of questions, reservations, and dissection of the various and innumerable Deities worldwide, offers considerable food for thought. Many of the questions 101 Reason proffers could, and do, apply to religions across the spectrum. —Steve K. (retired CPA)

This book hit home to me on a lot of topics. I could relate to the problems women have had both in the Mormon Church and other Christian religions.  I would recommend this book to anyone who has questions about their Mormon beliefs. —Liz S. (retired office manager)

At BYU, he participated in basketball and baseball and earned various awards and honors. After a short stint playing professional basketball, he attended the University of Utah Law School and was admitted into the Utah State Bar as an attorney in April 1975.  He practiced law (primarily in Salt Lake, Davis, and Utah counties) for over 40 years before retiring.
