You should stick with that, and insist on a definition of absolute truth that doesn't trivially circle back to "God". When most people say "absolute truth" they have no idea what they are talking about. Very good point. When Schmo said he believes in objective truth I find myself translating that i...

Ballard, had he not been related to ‘Mormon royalty’ would been broke and anonymous. His nepotistic relationship with church royalty made him a millionaire. He hadn’t earned that seat, but it was handed to him despite being objectively unqualified to occupy it. He’s literally the perfect example of...

Copy. I’ll be in touch with Nemo to do the same on his side of the pond. I dropped into the local chapel for the first session of general conference and manifested my opposition. Philosophical question: if an opposing vote is made in an empty chapel and no one is around to see it, is it recorded in...

https://x.com/DaveHan06/status/1774751376889057282 Did you know Kyle “Cryin’” Rittenhouse was a Junior High School dropout? In fact, he tried getting into the Marines and he failed the ASVAB.
