Re: LDS Missionary held on rape charges
Sad. And horrific.

Re: Russell McGregor: Online Mopologist Extraordinaire
Meh. I’m over him. Angry guy saying angry things to make people feel mad, all to stroke his personal epeen. Not a good ambassador for for the church or for Jesus. But that’s plainly not the objective.

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
The length of the Book of Mormon doesn't seem like a big issue to me. Writing a long coherent novel, with an intricate plot and many vividly realistic characters who grow over time—that's a major intellectual challenge that usually requires years of practice to achieve. Merely writing a long book, ...

FAIR: New “Me, My Shelf, and I” pod series
Apparently in the same cynical spirit of “TITS” videos, but with soft lip smacking voices, FAIR has a new series that appears ready to tackle thorny issues by minimizing them, at least based on the title. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/latter-day-saint-fair-cast/id397315546?i=1000649684109 Th...

Re: RFM on Kamp in Court
That was painful to hear. She’s wasting an incredible amount of her and others’ time and resources. One wonders if she should be fined or held in contempt for these shenanigans.

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
I shouldn’t be too hard on Nielsen. But, man, this book is not serious scholarship. Would love to hear more. I was tempted to buy it, but wanted to see how candid opinions came in first. My suspicion was that a lone ranger project with such a grandiose title was very likely to be insufficiently ann...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
I know that the general (and reasonable) standard is to look for definitive ties, but for me just the existence of certain ideas within the time and area -- even amongst seemingly unrelated individuals -- is interesting to me because of my own (young) experiences with just how organically informati...

Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
Anyone read this yet? https://www.amazon.com/How-Book-Mormon-Came-Pass/dp/B0CYQDQ67K It centers on the works of a 17th century religious charlatan named Athanasius Kircher, revealing numerous parallels with Book of Mormon motifs and names. I haven't read it, but found the podcast with Mormonish to b...
