Marcus, why so miserable?

Lol. What an assumption to make.

Not literally Marcus.

There is an interesting thread about this going on over at MAD here. With a poster named Zosimus arguing that this Kircher was a well known figure who could have influenced Joseph Smith. (Kirsher was known to John Smith at Dartmouth who taught Hyrum.) Ben McGuire is arguing that Kirsher was not tha...

It's true and important that people with different histories experience things differently. It can even extend to elementary perceptions. A lucid conversation in an unfamiliar language sounds like gibberish; you can't even tell where words stop and begin. Someone who does know the language, on the ...

The Book of Abraham is objectively a fraud, but the more important subjective faithful Mormon lens allows you to see it as a revelation from God. This works really well to turn any falsehood into a truth. No evidence that COVID vaccines kill people? Well my subjective truth tells me it does. Like I...

I don't think it would be possible to change from atheist views to give children a different upbringing. You can't suddenly gain the energy of a believer from pretending to believe.

It's perspective. If it was a number that kept occuring to you then would you be inclined to wonder if ther...

This may sound weird, but our former neighbor could smell people who were very freckled before he encountered them. For instance someone who was not in his immediate line of vision, but nearby. The closer the freckles are to one another, the stronger the smell. This may sound weird, but no, he coul...
