Thanks, Dean—that does help to clarify. My understanding is the same as yours. The Mopologists have always maintained a facade where *they* never have anything negative to say about other faiths. But this latest “lashing out” against Calvinism shows that it really was a facade all along.

Others may disagree here, but I think this apologist has a high degree of self-awareness. He knows exactly what he's doing, it's practiced, he's very good at it, and often -- there are exceptions where he really loses it -- his outrage is practiced an not believable. In contrast, Petersen, MIdgley,...

I’m not quite sure I’m following you, Dr. Robbers. Are you saying that it’s impossible for the Mopologists to say decent things about other faiths? Or that it’s impossible for them to ever criticize the LDS Church? And Huck: of course one can criticize Calvinism, Mormonism, or any other faith. But t...

In the most recent post at "Sic et Non," the Proprietor seems to be gearing up for a multi-post series of commentaries aimed at attack the faith of Calvinists--it's titled, "Contra Calvinism 1." We know from his past comments that Dr. Peterson is an avowed anti-Calvinist (and an anti-CoC, and an ant...

Last night, I attended a celebration for George Mitten in honor of the publication of a collection of his essays, entitled Joseph Smith and Our Preparation for the Lord’s Final Judgment . The book is a nice tribute to Brother Mitten. However, I winced when I saw the cover design. Whose idea was it ...

The Proprietor’s announcement of the article is priceless:

As critics long ago predicted, the website of the Interpreter Foundation continues to slumber. To illustrate its unchanging hibernation, I share three new items that have recently appeared on it:

They must be referring to someone other than Peterson. Have we looked for this Dan Petersen? Dan Peterson has insisted that Interpreter articles go through a stringent process of peer review and editing, and must be of the highest quality before release. I may email my good friend Richard Nygren do...

What's so funny is that he's been claiming over and over that he was hamstrung by the Church's own rules. But of course, he's only doing this after the fact. None of his old blog entries show him lifting so much as a pinkie finger to check up on Frenchy's records It's hard to disagree with this. I ...

Lol. Yes: you'd think that, in the midst of touring through all these historic LDS places, he'd have enough distraction such that he wouldn't keep drifting back to this topic. But, typical obsessive that he is, he is not only *thinking* about it, but actually *writing* to people in order to get clar...

His whole argument about the “termination” of relationships after death is warped, and citing the vows doesn’t really help his case. “Until death do us part” is referring to physical, mortal life. DCP’s interpretation, frankly, is bizarre. I doubt that most people who believe in an afterlife also th...
