Re: Secular folks should worry.

Today the Florida legislature passed a six-week abortion ban, which Governor DeSantis will almost certainly sign to keep his presidential hopes thriving. This is the worst kind of theocratic nonsense imaginable, the result of extremist Christian capture of one of our two major parties. THIS is what...

Re: Secular folks should worry.

The second commandment is to love they neighbor as thy self, not a dictate to bear arms. The political tenor of the religious right is absolutely fitting here because in the many years you've posted, you've show far more concern for gender issues, ssa issues, and the contra-woke agenda. You're a st...

Re: Secular folks should worry.

We’re going to make it to 65 pages folks. Are we done yet? 🤪 Regards, MG Oh God, i hope not. Watching you, a member of a small and rapidly shrinking group of aging, believing Mormons, make a fool out of yourself for 65 pages really helps validate many of the thoughts I have had about members of you...

Re: President Nelson Addresses Sic Et Non, NNL And The Mopologists

I would bet money this was said to prevent the leaders from being maligned for their financial shenanigans. The real message is "shut up and obey your leaders." Don't question those who blindly follow us and idiotically come up with a nonsensical apologetic regarding the recent SEC problems. And do...

Re: I'm Embarrassed For The Majority of Mormons That Supported Trump

And I am embarrassed that evangelicals embraced him. I can kind of understand the Wayne Grudem types who back in 2016 were like, "Yes, he's terrible, but he's the only way to get 'conservative' legislation passed, so I have to vote for him." But most warmly embraced him, and continue to do so even ...

Re: Bart Ehrman on the apocalypse of revelation

https://youtu.be/W7ibS4i8QfM Ehrman points out that almost everyone, including himself 5 years ago, misunderstands the Book of Revelation. Some insights: 1) This disaster story was just a popular genre at the time, like superhero movies are today 2) The John of the gospels was not considered by ear...
