Mak's failed attempt at new Mormonism.

[_Sanctorian]

Mormon intellectuals took a beating this weekend. The updated church handbook sets new Mormonism back by decades. Instead of creating a church where the weird foundational truth claims are less important and being a good Christian is the goal of the religion, the LDS leadership dealt a knock out punch to Mak and his intellectual friends. It must be hard to have no influence in the COB at the end of the day.

Where did maklelan post he was pushing for a different policy?

Maybe a nuanced, closer look at the new handbook provisions is needed. Yea, that's the ticket. Just the thing.

It's like the leadership put a bag of flaming s*** on the doorstep of every liberal Mormon.

You can say that again.

It's like the leadership put a bag of flaming s*** on the doorstep of every liberal thinking Mormon.

It's like the leadership put a bag of flaming s*** on the doorstep of every liberal Mormon.

And when the liberal Mormon opens the door and stomps on the bag to put out the fire, the leadership goes around back and knocks on the back door causing the liberal Mormon to track crap all over their new carpet.

"Nuanced" is my new, least favorite word in the Church. "Presentism" is now second.

[_Gunnar]

I can hardly wait to hear Maklelan's take on this new development.
