Chad Daybell gets his day in court.

LDS author and fringe cult leader Chad Daybell's day in court begins tomorrow, with opening statements scheduled for 9:00 AM MDT. As was true with his wife, Lori, his trial is being held in Boise because of the potential bias from media coverage in Rexburg. He is charged with first-degree murder and...

Re: Mormons arguing that “Mormon” is as derogatory as the N-word

Okay, now we're getting somewhere. If he claims inspiration from God, can we classify his claim as "true" or "false" based on whether he is really, truly receiving inspiration from God vs. whether he's lying about it or simply delusional? Yeah, that is where it gets messy. Charismatic leaders of th...

The Totality Eclipse not hitting Salt Lake or Arrakis proves that both the Book of Mormon and the Dune series are true!

Re: Boylan's Blog Removed

I just don't understand the level of hostility and ugliness that Boylan displays in the linked thread. I mean, WOW!!! Yikes!!! Don't make things so personal. Mormons are allowed to engage in both awful and unethical behavior if it is in defense of their church. Remember their mantra as they crawl t...

Re: Collaboration Between Artist and Audience

I really don't like the term atheist, and refuse to assume that label. It's partly due to the wide misunderstanding of it's modern use, but the main reason is why should I assume a label that describes something I'm not ? I wouldn't assume any other label which told someone else what I'm not, becau...

Re: Elder Holland may not be Secondly Anointed?

I disagree. I think the vast majority who avoid this forum do so because it contains any criticism. As soon as a board is flagged as critical friendly, independent of how much criticism there is, it's an "anti-Mormon" site for any TBM. Yes, because it's "almost nothing but criticism" as you say, th...

Re: Stats prove when women are safer

This is supported by studies showing that 46% of sexual assault perpetrators are under 25, which could mean that women are safer with men over 30. If 46% of sexual assault perpetrators are under 25, then that also means 54% of sexual assault perpetrators are 25 or OLDER. So by your very own reasoni...
