Frankly, I am completely unsurprised. I can't imagine Dr. Peterson voting in support of these videos. They are juvenile garbage. Remember it was not Dr. Peterson who included "Metcalfe is butthead" in a book review. And these videos are much, much worse. There has been a real changing of the guard o...

Anyway, the proclamation of the family as the #1 document gives them away. Once everyone agrees on right-wing politics as the foundation of the world, then the can talk about whatever else and not really care about the answers one way or another. That is my take on it too, Dean Robbers. The social ...

About time!

It has been far too long since I last heard his voice or saw him.

Exactly, Dr Moore. Very well put. It is radical submission to the modern church leaders. I would also reiterate, however, that it is taking this submission to a new level by elevating the significance of apostolic proclamations to a status that surpasses even the scriptures. These three documents, a...

I applied to be a signatory, but I was rejected when I proposed five additional tentpoles of Latter-day Saint Radical Orthodoxy: 1. Proclamation of the First Presidency to the Saints Scattered Abroad , Jan. 15, 1841. 2. Proclamation of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day...

It's odd that Gordon condemns the existence of "logical fallacy" in the CES Letter, when these TITS videos deploy a massive number of logical fallacies throughout. Chief among them is the pervasive use of straw man arguments in a fast moving juvenile Nibley fest. Followed closely by ad hominems gal...

I'm not sharing the excitement. I see Taves suggesting something more along the lines of "I think....there weren't actual plates that were hundreds or thousands of years old..." I'm not seeing a reason for the plates as it pertains to the Book of Mormon story at all. Why are the plates seen as some...

I hope your holiday was pleasant and filled with good company, limited to immediate family or otherwise, Kish.

Thank you, honor. I hope that your holiday was likewise pleasant, rejuvenation, and filled with friendship and love.

Professor Peterson was kind enough to contact me in order to set me straight on the nature of this "trailer." It is a kind of project overview that combines elements of the film and the documentary. The trailer that is being shown in Megaplex Theaters is professionally produced. We have no access to...
