Re: How Did I Stop Believing My Own Evidence for the Book of Abraham?!
Philo, long time, no see in person. We should correct that with our good friend from the near south. Now, on to your post-- Do you want to regain faith (belief in the absence of evidence)? Why? Would it satisfy an emotional need? Now that you have opened Pandora’s Box, do you think it is possible to...

Re: Joseph Smith Gave us the Correct Probability to Use For All Revelations in Mormonism
Joseph Smith Gave us the Bayesian Set up for His Own Revelations with stunning Implications for All Prophets Following After Him in Mormonism Joseph Smith has, unwittingly, given us the logical setup and means of utilizing Bayesian Inference, and Mormons have not yet comprehended the meaning, the c...

Re: DCP Has Found the Lamanites!! In the Heartland
Ah yes! Who among us can forget those carefree days when the "Indians" were Lamanites, and the Hill Cumorah was the Hill Cumorah, and the golden plates were translated with the Urim and Thummim, and Joseph knew Egyptian, and the word 'Polyandry' could nowhere be found in Bruce R. McConkie's lexicon...

Re: Mofluencer Wars
That is sad. I had thought, maybe hoped would be a better term, that it was in reference to the 1990s Bush album, 16 Stone.

Re: Mofluencer Wars
You tell a rather sordid tale about John Dehlin personally. For you it is very relevant. For me, it is not as my interest in John Dehlin is not that he is some shining example of how to lead one's personal life. I see Dehlin as useful in bringing interviews of people with different perspectives on ...

Re: Mofluencer Wars
But John is a classic narcissist -- and I believe he suffers from at least one personality disorder. The more dedicated he became to Mormon Stories, the more dependent he became on it to support him and his family, and the more hellbent on retaining control he became. At this point, very little of ...

Re: Gems from Doctrines of Salvation?
In the whacky department, this has been a favorite of mine from Doctrines of Salvation-- We are living in the dispensation of the fullness of times into which all things are to be gathered, and all things are to be restored since the beginning. Even this earth is to be restored to the condition whic...

Re: Kwaku on Mormonism Live!
I'm not a fan of seeing the world in a us vs them mentality. The church has endorsed that thinking all because Jesus did. ... And when we talk about ideas and positions, we start to naturally feel sides, opposition and often we take it as if we're on a battle field, as it seems Kwaku feels comforta...

Re: Kwaku on Mormonism Live!
We had a pretty good discussion I think. Especially the part where I got him to admit the priesthood ban was a mistake. I wonder how he squares that with the Aug 17, 1949 First Presidency Statement that the mistake was a "direct commandment from the Lord"? I heard the part where that he thinks Jose...
