Re: In and of Itself

High Spy, it seems you have developed a system where you take an event with some interest like this earthquake and subject it to condensing investigation. As you investigate you squeeze it down until something odd happens. There are results, a final product of complete triviality where all value an...

Re: Vogel's book, Hale reviews and Vogel responds.

Orson Scott Card talked about the Book of Mormon in this 1993 talk at byu. Here's the first couple of paragraphs, and a link to the rest: My bolding. So (!), if you look at the first 100 sentences in The Book of Mormon - Artifact or Artifice? , you will find 7 that begin with "And", "Then", or "But...

Res Ipsa, being from the other side of the state I had to look up this mountain. It looks like a great hike relatively close at hand to the west side. May you be sure to enjoy it again.

Re: Is their a New Secular Religion, If So Does It Support We Are Innately Religious?

Gadianton, I can see your point I think. Free Ranger has some things he is concerned with but has presented with such a broad brush that religion become most anything and everything. At that point the category looses all evaluating use. I think the drift towards fanaticism he is concerned with is a ...

Res Ipsa. that is nice to see. North Cascades I would presume though it is generic enough that it could be another location. I hope you get a chance to enjoy such a location above and away from urban tangles.

Re: Beastie and argument for horses in the Book of Mormon.

I remember Truth Dancer and Harmony from NOM Board also, if I’m not mistaken. So if Beastie wasn’t Truth Dancer…who was she? I’m pretty darn sure she went by two different names over a span of time. But I’ll stand corrected that she wasn’t Truth Dancer. Trixie on ZLMB and I think SevenOfNiine somew...

Re: Is their a New Secular Religion, If So Does It Support We Are Innately Religious?

That's an important observation, Marcus. We've all argued a variation of the "too general" objection, but your point reveals a devastating contradiction. Let's review the title: Is there a New Secular Religion, If So Does It Support We Are Innately Religious? I'm a little embarrassed that I missed ...
