This has got to be one of the funniest typos I've seen. (Or was the 'git' intentional? If so, it's still funny.)

I think someone on the mad site said two years ago.

You think July is oppressive, just be grateful you weren't here in August (Yikes!). There's a mega-church off the freeway called (I think) "Central Christian." They have a sign that can be seen from the freeway with events, etc. I always make it a point to see what's going on as they have...

[...] For the most part, I think we’re just grateful when someone isn’t doing favors for the Russian mob, or a crack-whore. It's definitely a different environment. What amused me last time I was in Las Vegas (July - it was oppressive) were the bus-stop signs advertising the "best methadone cl...

Care to be specific about how easy it is to live the whole Gospel? I don't agree that it's hard. Of course I can only speak for my own experience as a BIC Mormon, but I never considered it difficult to 'live the gospel.' Looking back, it was a bit boring spending all that time in meetings and scrip...

I wonder if the church would be just as willing to look the other way in the case of someone who was selling erotic magazines and videos from a sidewalk booth or a web site, or running a liquor-only store. Being insulated from the actual distribution by layers of management and not actually touching...

Absolutely not. I never told anyone about Joseph Smith polygamy (75-77), mainly because I didn't really know myself. But then again, we didn't even tell anyone about Brigham and others, either, or about blacks and the priesthood. For all I know, they still don't have any idea (especially since it's ...

I'm late to this topic, but I have some thoughts: 1. The whole "war on Christmas" nonsense was created by Bill O'Reilly and his cohorts so they could have something else to be outraged about and generate some ratings. They created a conflict where none existed before, and now you have thes...

Hey, at least Joseph's actual birthday is Dec 23. I think the consensus is that the nativity as described in the New Testament would not have been in December. They co-opted the existing Pagan holiday. Why don't LDS celebrate Christmas on April 6, which is the 'revealed' date, isn't it? Who says we...

I suspect that saying Romney saw his Dad and Martin Luther King marching together, with his "spiritual eyes" was mixing a metaphor together in such a way as to be offensive. Dr. Peterson probably thought Romney was confabulating the march and hence if he saw it with spiritual eyes, then t...
