Re: Peterson compares Kim Davis to Rosa Parks
The one area I have been ashamed of progressives is where they have made fun of her appearance. The way she dresses and looks has nothing whatsoever to do with whether or not she is a hypocrite, and resorting to mocking her appearance demeans us more than it does her. I wholeheartedly concur. But i...

Re: Peterson compares Kim Davis to Rosa Parks
Hi guys, ... If Kim Davis was a backslidden Baptist living a sinful life full of divorce and adultery and remarriage and now she's living monogamously with one husband, she isn't contradicting the Bible. She's emulating one of its common and more powerful redemption narratives . ... Consider this m...

Re: financial motivations of Joseph Smith
At this point in my research I'm unconvinced, for a variety of reasons, that Joseph Smith standing to gain financially, and even expecting and planning to gain financially, from aspects of his prophetic career entails insincerity on his part. If, by parallel, I learned that the young Picasso had ha...

Re: DCP: A Lesson in Using More Precise Similes
DCP writes on his blog Not going to church because of the “hypocrites” there is like refusing to go to the gym because there are people at the gym who’re out of shape. I think it would be more precise if it read, "Not going to church because of the 'hypocrites' leading it is like refusing to g...

Re: Death of Religion now that them Gays can Marry (link)
Two landmark Supreme Court civil rights decisions, Brown v. Board of Education and Loving v. Virginia, had a profound legal and cultural effect on racism, making it a social taboo, he said. There is little freedom or social space to be a racist, he said. If society equates support for marriage betw...

Re: What to say when they read the SSM letter this Sunday
Wow. That is a very poorly thought out letter. The purported premise of the position is demonstrably false: "A family built on marriage of a man and a woman is the best setting for God’s plan of happiness to thrive." While that may be true for heterosexuals, the Church has learned from exp...

Re: Peterson: SSM decision can lead to acceptance of pedophi
Peterson: If the age of consent were legally redefined as 12 or 14 years of age it would be lawful for a 12 or 14 year old boy to make an "informed and mature" decision to marry a 30 year old woman, or man. And, if the institution of civil marriage is ultimately dissolved, it would be law...

Re: Equal Opportunity Employer......almost
Inactive Mormons can still work at BYU. You don't need to be LDS to work at BYU. Someone could be inactive because they've joined another religion. Did you actually read the link you cite? From the link: "LDS employees need to be temple worthy. LDS employees accept, as a condition of employmen...

Re: Another LDS Republican Scam?
You think Democrats don't scam people? JESUS... To be more fair, the OP referred to "LDS Republicans." You question should be "You think LDS Democrats don't scam people? JESUS..." Of the the myriad of LDS scam artists to have come to light, I not aware of any who were registered...

Re: Another LDS Republican Scam?
I am somewhat curios to know how much they paid Evander Holyfield to take a fall.
