Peter Bleakley has an interesting take on Mormonism and the problem of evil. The key ingredient I would add if I talked about that again is the idea that our intelligences, whatever they are but I'm assuming a unit of light and truth with the inbuilt potential to progress and go all the way to becom...

My vote is to have all of the people going around stirring up trouble for their own selfish or vindictive reasons lose internet access for a decade.

Isn’t that what started this whole mess?

No. My best guess is focused on the textbook definition of natural selection.

Thanks. Although I left Mormonism a number of years ago and have discussed it in discussions with NPR and other general-interest media, I haven't interacted much with with the Post-Mormon community. Now that I am working on a memoir the deals heavily with Christian fundamentalism, I figured I shoul...

I think there is an orchestrated attack on anything perceived as anti Mormon from the church. I think the internet has forced them into a rabid frenzy similar to what gay marriage did and their pox. I certainly wouldn't exclude the possibility. What is the evidence supporting this, however? The Kwa...

Does it have anything to do with the fact that the almost equally bizarre Kate Kelly has taken up her cause for her own benefit? KK has lost relevance, and so now she goes after Dehlin by using some broken lady with a Dehlin fixation. Teaming up with Kwaku El, who is, charming though he may be, alm...

It is Mike Norton and Mitt Romney's temple ceremony all over again. But for years and years. She's definitely changed tactics. 1) Find someone who doesn't know the difference between being an asshole and sexually harassing someone 2) Send them some of the emails and texts 3) Have them tell everyone...

It guess it could be said that I'm John Dehlin-ing John Dehlin. Bringing up unsavory history he doesn't want to talk about that eventually changes one's perspective of him and hopefully deters people from buying into what he's peddling. He's not the Church, but he's no saint either and he has consi...

Yep. And it's spiraled into a narrative that John is an abusive controlling maniac who can destroy careers and lives with a snap of his fingers simply by wielding his immense power and influence. James Patterson quotes someone saying: Over the years, I have seen what happens to people who publicly ...

So what happened to those missing pages? I suppose they could have gone into the fireplace but why? Did someone want to make a do over, a new start? There is no telling for sure what became of the Lost 116 pages (Wikipedia). It's not outside the realm of possibility, the entire manuscript or a part...

What is Ugo doing these days? He is director of seminary and institute in Rome Italy, and is loosely affiliated with a university there. His income and retirement pension are entirely dependent on him saying nothing to embarrass the church. He gets his name on the odd scientific paper because he ha...
