Re: Gemli explains...

One of my brothers has described Mormonism as "the most obviously made-up religion". My liberal approach to religions makes me want to defend most religions as having at least some amount of good insight, but I haven't been able to argue against my brother on this one. You might point out to your b...

I should give the Catholic traditions for Easter more attention.

Speaking of fiction, I noticed that 3 Body Problem has been released for TV in 8 episodes.

Re: A Darkness Settles Over "6 Days in August"

As soon as they get the right weather to shoot that Trouble in River City scene, the rest of the film can begin to come together. Let's hope the kids in that Tennessee Swamprat Ward remember their lines and can start singing on cue.

Re: Open Message to the Open Stories Foundation Board of Directors

It reminds me of classical Aztecan-Slobovian literature: "Woe is me, for hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". This can be used to prove the parallel between Lou Midgley and Madam Defarge in the famous Tale of Zarahemla and Orem.

Re: I Can't Eye-Roll Hard Enough Over DCP's Latest

I think Dr. Peterson is right about Holy Week being alien to the Mormon Experience. We have evolved into a culture of Vallow, Daybell, Franke, and Hildebrandt, and not Palm Sunday and Good Friday.

... they beat me up for days on end over views that I don’t hold and over claims that I’ve never made. It’s weird. In fact, it’s oddly reminiscent of the mirrors in a carnival fun house. Since Dan didn’t make any specific claim I can only assume he’s upset that we pointed out he was objectively inc...

Re: True Crime: Holy cats this youtuber is LDS related

They were planning on buying land in Arizona for a compound where the members would live. Wild stuff. Having Ruby's son try to make his way to the jail put the Hell Duo on notice of how things would come crashing down if their torture of the Franke children was discovered. As RFM speculated in the ...
