Re: Critics Confront Jeff Lindsay at "Mormanity"
Speaking of being confronted by critics, I read this exchange tonight: I am nonplussed by this. This is an exchange between educated adults, right? Have I been out too long? How is it possible to give an answer like that about "science" with a straight face? Or is this what the Mormon church has be...

Re: For Dan Peterson Witnesses to the Book of Mormon
Jack says in response to Billy Shears: They would probably have some reasonable doubts and, therefore, not be able to convict. Even so, depending on the credibility of the witnesses, the jurors could very well believe that *something* inexplicable had taken place regardless of the verdict they woul...

Re: Time to Place Your Bets: What Does FAIR's Name Change Mean for Mopologetics?
The faculty at Cassius University deserves a great deal of credit for being on the right side of history on this one all along. By shining a bright light on hit-pieces and other un-Christlike apologetic tactics, we hastened this day. And, frankly, so too did FAIR by arrogantly, angrily, and tastele...

Re: FAIR Mormon Adopts A New Name And A More Gentle Approach To Apologetics
So, up till now, have they not been do it in a way that they believe the Savior would approve"?
Too bad nobody ever pointed that out to them.

Re: Certain people can't ever get it right
I kind of like how my favourite poet puts it:
Piet Hein wrote:The universe may
be as great as they say.
But it wouldn't be missed
if it didn't exist.

Re: Smithmas Revealed
And the birth of one of three women who have provided millions of fans around the globe with much entertainment through the medium of song, music, dance, and visual effects? I think it's time to update that manger scene and have 3 j-pop women. I'm not sure what's considered cool in Japanese pop-cul...

Re: What do you think of Jana's "full tithing"?
The one thing that made me feel good about my non-tithing was that the money stayed in my little community, and that I could see even a small amount of money making a real difference to someone.

What do you think of Jana's "full tithing"?
https://religionnews.com/2020/12/23/why-i-stopped-tithing-to-the-lds-church/ It’s rare to say that a news story changed your life or your course of behavior. But that’s what happened to me a year ago, when Religion Unplugged and the Washington Post broke the story that my church, the Church of Jesus...

Re: The Most American Religion
When I was about 10 or 11, in Scotland, I was almost a baseball baptism statistic. I enjoyed the game well enough, but my father put his foot down about the team's "initiation ceremony". Fast forward 15 years - now I'm Branch President (but that's another story!). We have a chapel that costs an arm...
