Re: Bigotry Unleashed: "SeN" Declares Open Season on Calvinism and Other Faiths
Calvinism is indeed a repellent and self-centered theology which allows and even glorifies all sorts of despicable acts such as slavery, tyranny, removal of women's rights, and much more. Just read up on RJ Rushdoony, if you have any doubt about what pure, undistilled American Calvinism looks like. ...

The Biblical prophets were Mormons
Hello everyone, I've been busy on other projects, but I thought I would stop by to ask about a doctrine I've been thinking about recently. In a 1985 speech to BYU students, Bruce R. McConkie related a doctrine which is one of the most distinct of classic Mormonism, but I wonder how common it is nowa...

Poll: Republicans see Trump as a ‘person of faith’ ... more so than Mitt Romney, Mike Pence and others
More than half of Republicans see former President Donald Trump as a person of faith, putting him ahead of more vocally religious figures like his former vice president, Mike Pence, according to a new national poll conducted by HarrisX for the Deseret News. Registered voters were asked whether they...

Re: Manetho, Josephus, and the Book of Abraham
In short....Dan Vogel's pius fraud theory. A pious fraud who got a 14 year old girl to marry him by threatening her family, along with all the other women--some already married whose husbands he dispatched to clear the way, two who were his foster children, and dozens of others--all married behind ...

Re: Manetho, Josephus, and the Book of Abraham
For a long time, I have thought that the Book of Mormon was more like an ancient epic than an ancient history. An epic is a kind of poetic reflection on the past that is also a fabrication. Vergil’s Aeneid is filled with various bits of “lore” about ancient Italy and it incorporates lots of foundin...

Re: Manetho, Josephus, and the Book of Abraham
It's an oddly politicized post in this thread from Shades. Very clearly it is at least arguable to have some caution in regards to a long-dead historical religious figure about whose inner motivations we have little documentation. Having that perspective has nothing whatsoever to do with one's viewp...

Re: Manetho, Josephus, and the Book of Abraham
Interesting, Reverend. I'm having trouble choosing which lenses I should use to understand these three written passages. If I asked each of the three authors at the time of their writings the question: "is what you wrote what really happened?" what kind of answer should I expect to receive? Today, ...

Re: Mopologetics does not follow the data where the data lead
It's the nihilism of fundamentalism. He seems not to realize that this posture can never persuade a non-believer and it often fails to be convincing to people who are questioning the received wisdom. Peterson also seems not to understand that this argument also justifies belief in any religious trad...

Re: SeN isn’t obsessed with Christopher Hitchens
Comments get stuck in automatic filters routinely. Might not be nefarious on Dan's part.

Re: Fox News' Next Potential Settlement/Liability?
The Dominion lawsuit proved undeniably that Fox is a propaganda outlet that deliberately tells its audience lies and that the audience likes to be lied to.
Fox is the ultimate "safe space" for ignorant morons who hate America because most of us aren't fundies.
