Re: Russell Nelson talks guns...

God allows us to have our agency, and men have passed laws that allow guns to go to people who shouldn’t have them. Strange how rapists, murderers, terrorists, kidnappers and enslavers have their agency to do what they want to their victims, who completely lose their own agency in the process. As a...

Re: Steve Smoot on Book of Mormon Musical Do Mormons Just Believe?

But as the song progresses, Elder Price’s testimony becomes increasingly outlandish. It starts out simple enough, with Elder Price singing innocuously, “I believe that the Lord God created the universe / I believe that he sent his only son to die for my sins.” But things quickly turn bizarre with a...

Re: Praying Naked With L. Tom Perry

I wouldn’t expect very many fans to do as Everybody Wang Chung suggested and switch allegiances. But when it comes to the next generation, it’s a different story. The kids in the state, without the same history of fandom, may be more interested in following meaningful games against the likes of Stan...

Re: Oaks Caught Mouthing Nelson's Reply to Peggy Fletcher-St

Do you really think what I suggest is so improbable? No offense but yes. It is the least likely explanation of what happened. By far. I also vote yes. What I saw didn’t look like a person finishing a well-known phrase a loved one has repeated thousands of times over the years. It looked like a pare...

Re: Pre-existence of Christ

It is an interesting question I hadn’t thought of before. How was Jesus the ‘god of the Old Testament’ and part of the earth’s creation committee long before going through the supposedly required step of getting a physical body?

That has always been pretty standard. LOL

DoubtingThomas wrote:How is that relevant to his presidency? His private life is none of our business.

This opinion is now common among religious GOPers, who once cared very deeply about such things (until approximately 1.5 years ago, for some strange reason).

Re: 60% of Mormons Approve of the racist, sexist pig Trump?!

I’m a fan of the view that a primary cultural trait driving movement conservatism at the moment is rejection of what they perceive liberals to be, updated continuously. For most people, politics is like team sports. It thrills them when someone on their team really takes it to the other side. Fans ...

Re: Why ExMos's turn atheist!

Asking for convincing evidence is so very arrogant.
