If you can lie for the Lord, couldn't you also plagiarize for the Lord?
A quick Google search turned up no direct challenge to the validity of plagiarizing for the Lord, since bearing false witness is not applicable. The Melania Trump Foundation might even submit an Amicus Curiae brief on this point.
Whether it is intentional or unintentional plagiarizism one thing is for sure Pasterson has developed some very sloppy habits. Sloppy habits that reflect poorly on himself, his associates, his students, DN, BYU, and his church. He owns the problem and everything and everyone associated with him owns his problem and the consequences.
This situation is simply pathetic and inexcusable.

I was proud of this joke that didn't land.
I don’t think silence is evidence of joke fail. I’m sure you got a few in real life chuckles.

Probably a quarter of the views are Pasterson checking up on us. I doubt any are from the paid apologists, DN, BYU, SCMC, or the denizens of the Holy of Holies because they don't seem to care that Pasterson is poking his finger into the heart of their integrity.

Thank you so much, Dr. Shades. Wow, what a project; a 28-page sprawl now down to just 9 pages!! You are the Superman of Moderators, to be sure!
Seriously, though, it is greatly, greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Daily Beast reporter Lizzie Crocker resigned from the company this weekend after allegations of plagiarism against her were confirmed by the publication, TheWrap has learned.
“Plagiarism is unacceptable,” Daily Beast Editor-in-Chief John Avlon told TheWrap in a statement. “Lizzie Crocker has offered to resign and her resignation was accepted.”
“Though this was a difficult decision, we take plagiarism seriously, and will not allow the hard-earned trust we’ve built with our millions of loyal readers to be compromised,” he added.
If the Daily Beast takes plagiarism seriously, what does that say about BYU, the MI, and the Des News? You know for a fact that these people are aware of Mr. Peterson's plagiarisms, and the fact they haven't done anything to correct this problem is absolutely astounding. They are jokes, all of them.
