I go back and forth on this. On the one hand, I think all religions can benefit from a moderating trend. Catholics aren’t burning heretics anymore. Muslims, by and large, aren’t massacring infidels. Mormons should some day stop excommunicating doubters and critics. But DCP often pushes back on this...

Daniel is a very amateur historian, we should give him a break for unknowingly selectively quoting that passage. It’s not like he is a PhD scholar or anything. He probably had no idea the full context.

As LDS historian Will Bagley once said on Radio West, it's almost impossible not to directly implicate Brigham Young in the Mountain Meadow Massacre because he was so intimately involved in directing and ordering so many other massacres.

Maybe Brigham was a prophet after all.

I’m telling you, they all had a massive masturbation problem. Satan slipped right in!

It’s become fashionable in recent years to demonize Brigham Young as a racist, even a vicious one — and, in some cases, essentially to forget that there was anything else to the man. I resist this. He wasn’t perfect, of course. Nor has any subsequent apostle or president of the Church been perfect....

you're far too kind, Reverend. I haven't been part of every thread, if Tim has been treated poorly then that's a shame, as he's one of my favorites. Unfortunately for the few believers, to the extent that other members recognize them as traditional believers, they become the customer service rep an...

So, we’re taking A.I.-generated texts seriously enough to start threads on now? Text produced by an advanced AI could be indistinguishable from that authored by a deity, hence exercising caution is recommended. This response was generated by an AI.
