It’s hard to imagine how one individual BYU-H alumnus could be all those things simultaneously—but this list gives away a secret: they’re plural, and that’s how they can be all these great things at once. Jacob Hansen is some sort of colony entity.

He forgot to mention sheep.

Good Lord! Jacob Hansen is a human-shaped Swiss Army knife, and frankly, it's exhausting just reading his list.

The thing to remember about Jacob Hansen is that they are eating the dogs. Better to get him started on the Epstein files, and at least Hound and Ajax will show up to run interference.

Jesus' movement was really of its time and place. It would be hard to replicate today, but if you did, it wouldn't look like a church. It would be a wandering band of homeless pacifists with an emphasis on charity and ethical behavior. No ordinances, no atonement theology, no heaven or hell. A much simpler world view than Mormonism or mainstream Christianity.

This is where I think you might be mistaken. On the assumption that Jesus was the Messiah and that He was indeed resurrected from the dead, the first fruits of them that slept...I would be looking for something in the world today that would represent Him well and doing His work. Whatever that might look like in today's world. The CofJCofLDS and the fruits thereof seem to fit the bill in my estimation. We have some elements from the past...prophets and apostles. We have power to act in the name of God/Jesus. More importantly, the gospel that is taught in the LDS Church is centered around families, progression, obedience to correct principles, faith in a Higher Power, knowledge of the character/being of God, Resurrection and Eternal Life, service, discipleship, etc.

If I was to look around the world for something representing that which I think God is behind and supporting I would go with the LDS church. The fruits in the lives of members who dedicate their lives to strict obedience and faith seem to demonstrate that there is something unique and special about the church. What it looks like in comparison to the "wandering band of pacifists" in ancient times is not as of much interest to me as to whether or not the doctrines, principles, practices, ordinances, and authority lead a man/woman towards Christ, along with their families and associates. If a critic of the church chooses to believe that there is 'something else' that leads them and their families towards a Greater Good than that which is found within the CofJCofLDS, then more power to them.

Free agency is a wonderful thing.

What are your views in regard to existing in some form as an individual after you die? Do you think that Jesus was resurrected? Do you think that Jesus did not teach that "In my Father's house are many mansions?"...that this was a later doctrine inserted into the scriptural canon?

There’s no way one individual BYU-H alumnus could have done all that—but he gives away his secret: he’s plural. So I guess the right pronouns are they/them?

Some accomplishments may be his wife's which he takes credit for as a (Mormon) leader of his family, hence the -i. But still. Maybe he has plural wives as well?

Why did you come to the board at light speed to recklessly respond after six posts of mine right after I posted them?

He forgot to add "shallow, grifting, desperate attention-seeking BS artist mopologist" to his C.V.
