Re: Ideology, Religion, and Mormonism
Years ago, I read a couple of books by the late Mircea Eliade, longtime faculty at University of Chicago’s Divinity School. I thought these books were amazing. They really appealed to me and seemed to mesh well with my reading of Hugh Nibley. Later, as a BYU student, I was jazzed to learn that Elia...

Re: House Republicans in Disarray
1. The democrats should have passed a nationwide law allowing abortion when it had the chance, but instead wanted the election issue to survive. When did democrats control 2/3 of the Senate? This is typical CT nonsense. 2. The LGBTQ question seems like a good way to paint the conservatives with the...

1. The democrats should have passed a nationwide law allowing abortion when it had the chance, but instead wanted the election issue to survive. 2. The LGBTQ question seems like a good way to paint the conservatives with the bigot brush and probably won't go far. However, leaving this to parents an...

Re: House Republicans in Disarray
Johnson is similar to Mike Pence in that his strong Christian identity doesn't just bleed into his politics, they share a heart. Legislation such as the nation-wide abortion ban, discriminatory legislation especially targeted at same-sex marriage and LGBTQ rights, reducing or removing the separatio...

Re: Secular folks should worry.
Interesting. I would have guessed that the combination of being skeptical toward human reasoning and logic and a deepening understanding of how much we don't know would result in stronger faith that would broaden the tightrope into a comfortable path. In my LDS extended family, those who fell off t...

Re: Mitt Romney said No to an Apostle
The first amendment seems to have resolved the issue in favor of those who oppose theocracy, MG. It's sound advice that even the most holy brethren should follow. Here it is: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ; or abridging t...

Re: House Republicans in Disarray
Bipartisanship is not an end in itself. The key question when making any compromise is: what do we get out of it? The results of this debacle are concerning, in my opinion. When it started I did not think of the possibility it would serve to filter out the pro-MAGA leadership too unpalatable for mo...

Re: Israel
This fanatical support for Israel needs to stop, especially when they are on a path, not of an eye for an eye, but an eye for genocide. This is not Christianity and one wonders why evangelicals and other sects fall for this. Now, Israel is talking about flooding the Hamas tunnels after they finish ...

Re: MLB - YES!
The way Houston has played the last two games, you could be 1/2 a prophet, lol. Philadelphia v. Texas is my prediction though with Philadelphia winning.
