Re: Why are Humans living longer?

But doesn't mass increase the closer you get to speed of light? I think that’s right. Length contracts, too. But I always mix up which observer observes the changes… :lol: The one DOING the traveling doesn't feel or see any effect on him- or herself at all. To the traveler, everything ELSE is going...

I don't know why he is being charged with sodomy when the statement doesn't say that.
That's because according to Utah law, "sodomy" is the penile penetration of any bodily orifice other than the vagina. The mouth, in this case.

No, it's not. Better peer review would help, but then again, it's published in the Interpreter.
That's a very, VERY good point.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has dropped the moniker Mormon to camouflage its reputation. But it still needs a shortened moniker. How does Gary sound? The Gary Church, the Book of Gary, and the Garys.
What in the name of God are you going on about?

Re: Numbers...

The is the classic crackpot paradigm: Scientists can't explain everything, so the crap I make up is just as good. Indeed. I'm sure you've noticed how pathologically often both Mopologists and rank-and-file Mormons employ it to explain away contradictions within their scriptures and teachings. It's ...

Hope you’re doing well, Shades. Thanks for all you do to keep the lights on around here. 🙂 You're welcome. My problems with Hales are similar. His conclusions regarding polygamy are especially problematic, because he draws every possible conclusion except the obvious one: Joseph's libido inspired h...

Re: Mormons Made Great Nazis

That's fine, but Herr Krause still doesn't qualify for Hitler's "inner circle," since they probably never met each other. To qualify as being in the inner circle, you and Hitler have to have each other on "speed dial," so to speak.

Some faithful Mormons even made it into Hitler's inner circle.
I'm going to have to ask for a reference for that claim. Simply being a member of the SS was a far, FAR cry from being in Hitler's inner circle.
