Wonderful rundown of a very memorable year, Doctor Scratch.

I’ve long considered A Charlie Brown Christmas to be an achingly, exquisitely beautiful piece of animation, but I’ve not been exposed to the rich readings that you and Dr. Moore have shared above.

One question for you, Doctor Scratch: Do you have inside information on when Six Days in August will be inflicted on the unsuspecting public?

Lying for the Lord indeed. DCP never had much credibility with me anyway, but those events with 'Peter Pan' left me shaking my head; does the man have no shame?

No. He's full of pride, hence no shame. He genuinely thinks he is right all the time and it doesn't matter how he makes sure everyone else knows he's right, that's all that matters to him. i.e., pride.

I enjoyed the recap for 2023. There are so many times regarding LDS or Mormonism that I’ve said to myself, “I can’t believe this is happening.” After 21 years, I’m not so surprised anymore.

Well, I'm really hoping the donors will step up to the plate and give more money so DCP can finish the film. RIght now, the donors appear to be only moderately interested in giving: https://www.Facebook.com/donate/1022507169072678/

Another amazing Top Ten in Mopologetics! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Doctor Scratch. You had me doubled over in tears from raucous laughter. I nearly fell off my chair when I reached "dyspeptic." Thank you for taking the time to craft such an informative and entertaining year's-end roundup for Mopologetics.

Possibly one more honorable mention for 2023.

The proprietor is attacking BYU yet again. All while sharing a faith promoting story about how he was able to courageously get a former friend and colleague kicked out of BYU.

Folks, you can’t make this stuff up:
