Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
I've learned more from this thread than I had known before about how the LDS movement survived Smith's death and rallied behind Brigham Young. My guess would be that Smith never made real succession plans because he was expecting to live on for many more years as sole Prophet. He might have recogni...

Re: Trump's Religion vs Obama's Religion
If you have such a clear memory, how many teachers and how many schools are we talking about? Several. I can't remember anyone singing songs of praise to Trump. While some people were too busy writing books that he was the Son of Man , there were indeed some "singing songs of praise." Like "Trump i...

Re: Mormons Against Trump
Trump is possibly going to get dementia as he is showing early signs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPo1Z54syJE&t=1660s How long will it take for him to catch up with Biden? Well... Trump's been unable to control his bowels, and wearing diapers for years, so he might already have him beat. Toss-u...

Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
You would think the Saints would abandon this obvious artifact of trickery and hokum. It doesn't bother me because I think I understand the nature and role of miracle stories. My guess is that most miracle stories evolve according to need and a continuing revisitation of the event. Over time, diffe...

Re: Bigotry Unleashed: "SeN" Declares Open Season on Calvinism and Other Faiths
I’ve never forgotten a comment that John Sanders, another Protestant theologian who visited BYU a couple of times (and whom I admire on several levels), made to me and Lou Midgley over dinner one evening: “I would feel a whole lot better about Calvinism,” he remarked, “if I had ever met a Calvinist...

Re: Trump's Religion vs Obama's Religion
Trump's Followers are Cultists, but Obama's Followers Were Not Cultists Because __________________ [...] Indeed. I remember when they made a golden statue of Obama, and Democrats were buying Obama bibles, and Obama shoes, and Obama NFTs, and wearing Obama schwag everywhere they went, getting their ...

Re: Why are Humans living longer?
I thought heart disease is more prevalent now because people eat SH17 now. Whereas years ago, they would have eaten sugar and processed food. But also, we do need to consider that a hundred years ago, they wouldn't have had the technology we have now that could assess what a person died of every ti...

Re: Next President ___________ ?
I'm old fashioned, so I'll be voting for the person who hasn't ever received an endorsement from the American Nazi Party. When that's not a viable metric, it's usually a safe bet voting for the person who hasn't bragged about walking in on children getting dressed. Fortunately this election cycle, I...
