“The whole key for me is that we don’t have to read scripture like fundamentalist Protestants do . . . . A lot of the assumptions we’ve had even behind the questions of the past 45 minutes, these are assumptions about scripture that come from fundamentalist Protestantism. Uh, this is not the way Ca...

I wanted to make a few comments on the Patrick Mason episode. First, the positives. Patrick Mason comes across as an affable fellow. He is honest. He doesn't sidestep hard questions and deserves a lot of praise for fielding hard questions from two guys who obviously know how to ask the right questio...

Radio Free Mormon has put up two new videos: Radio Free Mormon: 91: An Interview with Patrick Mason Radio Free Mormon: 92: Defender of the Faith Lecture 6 I have listened to the first one. Both RFM and Bill Reel do a good job in interviewing Patrick Mason. I'll be making some comments on that episod...

I'd like to renew a couple of requests I made some time ago. ⋅ Please continue reviewing Charles R. Harrell's book "This is My Doctrine." I think this had the potential to be the best series you ever did. Unfortunately, you stopped having covered only part of the introduction. &s...

I guess Shulem has gone MIA, so I'll take it upon myself to announce that RFM has a new episode up: Radio Free Mormon - The Exaltation Complication .

In the past Stake Presidents have tried to make our marriage a case of my wife supporting people who are c...

Hey consiglieri, when can we expect the epic takedown podcast from you and Bill regarding this one?

Is there a transcript yet? I have no desire to listen to Nelson's infantilizing speech patterns.

Regarding Elder Snow's comments that they hired outside historians so that they would have the best and most current research from the best historians for writing the gospel topics essays, I call BS (at least partially). In this case the LDS church is just showing itself to be what it is: a huge cor...

Oh my, this one is so very very sad. He was a good guy. He was my introduction to Mormonism on the internet. Many years ago I was interested in philosophical aspects of Mormonism so I typed "philosophy Mormonism" into Google and the first page I ever visited on the subject was Goble's Morm...
