Perhaps I’m misremembering (and my apologies to Dr. Peterson, if I am), but hasn't he stated before that one of the reasons atheism has no appeal to him, is that it lacks the cosmic justice for those who are victims of atrocities? Where is the justice for the millions of gays, Jews, Communists, gyps...

[...] Jorgensen offers up a number of reasons why "none of the accounts that record the miracle [were] written on the day of the manifestation or shortly thereafter." Readers will need to decide whether any of them are convincing. [...] As always, Tom, you remind me why I rush to read any time I've...

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...

My guess is that most miracle stories evolve according to need and a continuing revisitation of the event. Over time, diffe...

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...

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 ...

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...
