I voted yes because I like the way this board is set up. It would be nice to see people keep the rules in the Forums because everyone has a place to be in a comfortable environment. I was very offended by Dr. Exiled posting a picture of temple robes in the Terrestrial Forum. I come here for conversa...

Thank you guys for this conversation about what happened. I am still sad for Gazelam. I agree with Res Ipsa when he says that they could have done a better job of handling this at Sunstone. I was thinking of proposing something for the next meeting, and even though I do not do art the idea that peop...

I have read that some mystics and visionaries have had visions of Sophia in the past few centuries. After reading a few accounts of these experiences, they sound a lot like the First Vision and Nephi’s version of Lehi’s dream. I think Sophia is right there in front of us in the scriptures and the vi...

Sunstone happened a couple of weeks ago. It was an interesting meeting. I was kind of bummed though when one of the speakers I wanted to see was removed from the program.

You got pwned.

Yeah, I can't say that this is a good way to sell a movie. Stuff about "critics"? Who cares? How unfortunate! They really needed someone other than an LDS apologist to write their promotional materials. I mean, how can you take a story about angels, gold books, and treasure diggers and make it sound...

People get politics and religion mixed up all the time partly because the separation of the two is, in the long span of history, a recent thing. It is not surprising that a lot of people want them to reunite. The problem is that the reuniting of the two does not help insure that all different religi...

Belief in what or being a believer in what are salient questions here. What is at the core of belief within an LDS framework? Is a certain kind of scriptural literalism necessary for belief? If that literalism is lost, does belief necessarily go out the window too?

I am still trying to get over the idea that an LDS apologetic organization is behind those offensive videos.

Smithmas is an absolutely brilliant idea. The Restoration has been sadly sparse in its yearly commemorations. The fact that Pioneer Day is essentially a celebration born in the aftermath of the Restoration after the mobs of Illinois murdered the two prophets, Joseph and Hyrum, in Brigham Young's chu...
