I'm glad to have you back, MG. I missed the back and forth.

Do we really blame the church for the choices of this man? There are plenty of missionaries who don't find themselves wanting to rape women. I think we risk not holding him entirely accountable for his behaviour if we give him excuses and blame the church. We all know that rape is wrong. The statem...

Daniel has said numerous times that one should try to view a religion in its best light. I don't know why he's incapable of this with regards to Calvinism.

Maybe teaching young Mormon men that girls are objects like licked cupcakes or ice cream with a roach in them is bad?

If you think of all the scenarios where you've chosen between two equally desirable choices, let's say between two items on a menu at a restaurant- and you make a split second decision- you should be able to feel that it's the same as "precursors to remembering." The way that you settle on a decisi...

I'm talking about something different, please follow with my example and don't change it. The scenario is not "choose 5 movies from the ones you recall." The scenario is, "what is the first movie that pops into your head when I ask you to name one?" Lets change it and make it the first Asian person...
