Re: How Did I Stop Believing My Own Evidence for the Book of Abraham?!

Hi Kerry, I just read your post detailing your process for realizing you had been wrong about the Book of Abraham. I think it would be valuable for a non-Mormon audience if you could write something more formal, which I would love to publish. While we do publish reporting and analytical pieces, we a...

I'm pretty sure the name similarity is a coincidence.
I hope not. Then I just put my foot in my big Jersey mouth. :oops:

Well it wouldn't be the first time.
Sorry to disappoint, but I'm afraid this is a case of mistaken identity. I have to admire their taste in user names though!

Re: Mormonism, factual relativism, and Donald Trump

Oh thank God. The Lord himself has heard my prayer and granted Alf safe passage to these tattered shores. Save us, Alf. Save us. Look at all these stupid people. They're everywhere. They don't even know they're stupid. Deliver us, oh Alf O'Mega. I mean Alphus and Omegus. Deliver us from our intelle...

Re: Mormonism, factual relativism, and Donald Trump

Thanks. Although I left Mormonism a number of years ago and have discussed it on NPR and other general-interest media, I haven't interacted much with with the Post-Mormon community. Now that I am working on a memoir that deals heavily with Christian and Mormon fundamentalism, I figured I should rec...

Re: Mormonism, factual relativism, and Donald Trump

Do any of them post on here? I hope so. Unfortunately, email is often a terrible way to make new acquaintances given how draconian anti-spam rules have to be. RFM is on this board as consiglieri. Mormon Stories is run by John Dehlin. He can be found on Facebook, but he is also embroiled in a bit of...

Quite a few exmo podcasters out there: Mormonstories, Radio Free Mormon, Latter Day Lesbian, Infants on Thrones (defunct?), come to mind.

Re: Mormonism, factual relativism, and Donald Trump

OK here is the link to the essay: https://flux.community/matthew-sheffield/2021/05/liz-cheney-epistemic-collapse-conservatism Here is the Mormonism portion for those who only want to see that part: --- Though somewhat new to the political realm, such disingenuous assertions have become increasingly ...

Mormonism, factual relativism, and Donald Trump

Hi everyone. This is my first post here although I have emailed w/Shades a bit on some technical matters earlier. I'm new here so I hope it will let me post a link. I don't know the rules. I figured that a recent essay might be of interest on the topic of how the continually shrinking truth claims o...
