Re: Nelson's Other Brush with Death on the Colorado River
Sheesh, they take normal semi exiting life experiences and turn them into a religious experience. Man if I ever make it to that level in church leadership I could bend a whole bunch of fun stories stories of my younger adventurous days into a faith promoting rumor. I did almost the same thing when I...

Re: DCP on Chauvin Trial: "Black-on-black crime and violence" is More of a Problem than "police overreach"
Dr. Peterson is repeating the "black on black" story from right wing. Before one asserts the truth of that statement, one must factor out "poor on poor" statistics. Once that is done, and it is significant that there is more "black on black" crime, I'll pay attention Dr. Peterson joins a very long ...

Re: Many, Many "Dimes" of DCP's "Paycheck" Came from Mopologetics: Explosive New Admissions on "SeN"
It’s an odd twist on the Faustian bargain. Sure, to give up on great worldly riches for the promise of eternal life, sounds moral and all. And who cares if BYU pays for it? BYU exists to serve the glory of God, right? But that’s all just a straw man anyway because no one goes into academics for gre...

Re: FAIR Mormon Adopts A New Name And A More Gentle Approach To Apologetics
Gordon has done a complete about face because someone higher up probably said hey those videos really are quite immature and have done nothing but bring mockery and mirth down upon our heads. There is no dignity here, let alone actual charity - love. We gotta change that. Exactly, I showed someone ...

Re: Luckless Nephite DNA and the Maya
With every year the power and resolution available with genetic testing increase exponentially. And with each year the evidence shows no support for the legend of the Lamanite. This is probably the sort of data you are talking about. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S09609822163024...

Re: DCP Compares Modern "Dislike" of Mormons to Jews Under Nazism
What DCP is doing is a continuation of the wholesale cultural appropriation that the Church, uses to maintain the story. The two favorite areas of cultural appropriation are the native inhabitants of the Americas, and "Israel." DCP has been conditioned by years of this to now feel that it is OK to c...

Re: Luckless Nephite DNA and the Maya
I just dug out my logon and saw that my favorite Nephite Geneticist is back. During the 1990s, molecular genetic research began to reveal, in remarkable clarity, the true ancestry of Indigenous Americans. Research on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), a small portion of our genes that is passed from mothers...
