Re: Supreme Court decision on same sex marriage...

I'm curious to see what will happen if polygamy does become legal. With the new essays out there now, and all of the information we currently have, if polygamy is legalized, will the Church put up or shut up? Will there be another "revelation" reinstating polygamy? And if that happens, wh...

Re: A little insight into Joseph Smith's success?

Yeah, hence "a little insight" versus "the simple, universal theory to explain it all."

The placebo effect of certainty

Something I've often wondered and speculated about is the peacefulness that comes along with thinking you're in the right. I see being "in the right" as having a dual nature: thinking that you have the answers, and feeling that your actions more or less comport with said answers. The more ...

Re: Happy Valley Photo Essay

the DCP stuff in the comments is unfortunate. i really believe when people say he is a nice guy in person. i don't doubt it a bit. but he either genuinely can't see how he is coming across (i don't really think this is the case), or he has a persecution complex, coupled with a mental disconnect from...

Re: Happy Valley Photo Essay

The statements were written in such a way that they could tie the pictures to his experience of LDS culture. In that, they do not do such a bad job. It's true that most of the captions are innocuous. But a few are reaching. With the one of his sister holding the burger, he notes that traditional ge...

Re: Gay Veteran quizzes Mitt Romney on marriage equality

Re: Was banned from MA&DB......

Hopefully this will not deter you from continuing to post on other threads there, I enjoy your posts and you seem to be someone who can engage them at length without getting kicked immediately. Hey, thanks for saying that. I was making a conscious effort to not play Will's game and to stay focussed...

Re: Was banned from MA&DB......

I just got thread-banned for a two-word post. Will had said something about taking a break from the boards for a while as a response to Kevin Graham's rebuttal to one of Will's theses. My response to this was "How telling." That's it. Got me kicked off the thread, and this after many, many...
