An interesting comment from Dr. Peterson, who is still sore over the post I made about recent his stint of sluggishness : Since Monday, I've been watching my Malevolent Stalker, who has been crusading against me online almost daily for something like fifteen years (and perhaps more), characterize my...

I think that's a fair point, Philo. I mean, the idea of "justice" via the afterlife is really pretty bizarre, especially in the context of Mopologetics. I mean, let's take the case of Gerald Bradford, who Midgley and DCP both absolutely hate. Per LDS teachings, Bradford is most likely in the Celesti...

Ignoring the vast inconsistencies in DCP's moral reasoning, there are other problems with common-sense notions of fairness and justice when extending a persons lifetime out to infinity, not to mention when comparing conditions on earth. As others have pointed out, eternity is a long time to never s...

Just when you think you've seen it all, the Mopologists deliver in shocking fashion. In the most recent post on SeN --possibly a side-effect of too much arguing over whether or not atheism is more "evil" that theism--Dr. Peterson offers up this off-the-charts-deranged opening paragraph: One reason f...

Check it out: I want to say something clearly and for the public record: Terryl Givens is a believing Latter-day Saint. He is also prodigiously talented. I don’t always agree with him, but I always find him worth reading and hearing. I consider him a friend. Okay. But what is your position on Givens...

I really have to wonder how the Mopologists don't see the Q12 as a bunch of incompetent fools. Let's turn this around on the mopologists: If Givens really believes (or has convinced himself) that the best way to balance between faith and evidence is to believe in his "junk art" theory, and the Chur...

Some interesting things have been surfacing in the "Comments" to the article. Just look at Dennis Horne, who is reacting precisely as one might expect: From my reading of this review, it looks to me like Givens is providing the church’s critics (anti-Mormons) with the fodder they seek to use as weap...

I think I'd go with either a 6 or a 7.
