Re: Secular folks should worry.

I’m sorry, I guess I’m not following MG’s handwringing. The Bureau of Labor has a little over 26% of Gen Z donating to: https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesnonprofitcouncil/2018/11/09/gen-z-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-newest-generation-of-donors-and-volunteers/?sh=55afe4412fd6 and get involved i...

Re: Non-Mormons' opinions of LDS church is harmed by knowing Mormons

My brain is having trouble with the graphic for some reason. So, Jews, Atheists, and Muslims are the only groups (of those listed) where knowing a person in that group results in a reduction in unfavorable opinion of the group? Or am I confusing it? Every group except for Mormons had higher net fav...

Re: Secular folks should worry.

True. And yet irrelevant to the OP, which actually discusses differences between the religious and the non-religious in the same generation. ...in regards to behaviors and attitudes primarily associated with religious community. If one is mainly concerned about tradition as surface-level proxy for ...

Re: Hannah Stoddard and the Joseph Smith Foundation

Look how much effort it takes Carrah just to debunk some, not all, of Hannah’s claims. But we now live in an age where people like Hannah can grow a following spouting claim after claim, even publishing books, knowing full well that no one will ever be able to convince their true believing followers...

Re: DCP: "There was a literal attempt to destroy the FARMS Review"

https://www.fairlatterdaysaints.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/2010-Daniel-Peterson.pdf LOL! Which critics has DCP ever smashed? The only giant target that I've seen is squarely on the back of DCP. He makes such an easy target due to his constant lies, plagiarism, public feuds, blunders and arrogan...

Re: Secular folks should worry.

It’s also arguable that if Gen Z cares more about pollution and climate change, that may benefit many more people than being a friendly neighbor who brings you a cake a couple times a month during Home Teaching visits.

Re: DCP: "There was a literal attempt to destroy the FARMS Review"

I have to admit I’ve done a lot of negative apologetics in my lifetime. FARMS Review is partly born to do that. I sometimes think Jack Welch, who asked me to do it, twenty-two years ago, must have occasionally wondered what kind of monster he’d created, because he had in mind just this little pamph...
