There might be further developments involving the clash between the Mopologists and the "Mormon Studies" crew. Frankly, I would be interested to see the apologists creeping out from behind the shelter of their various blogs and engaging critics more directly, but I sincerely doubt that will happen.
Do you think we might see some typical pretzel logic from the Mopes on the new pronouncement that married gays are apostates and how the children of gay cohabiting parents are now singled out for treatment? I mean, something beyond the contorted, unbelievable explanation proffered up by Christofferson and Otterson that it's to protect the children and the canard that these moves head off lawsuits without any articulation of what the legal theories behind such suits might be?
My guess would be "probably not"--at least, I wouldn't necessarily expect something in Mormon Interpreter. You might get something from, say, Ralph Hancock or on FAIR, however. And I doubt very much that the "argument" would be along the same lines as the Christofferson/Otterson thing.
to receive this doctorate award and reluctantly accept it, but only on behalf of the full faculty of posters without whom this board would be a shadow of its current cultural smorgasbord self. Indeed, perhaps the ultimate accolade should go to Shades.
