Re: I love it when our discussions end up on Reddit
Philo, I don't have nearly the Mopologist-watching experience as other members of this board. But from what I have observed, the Mopologists play it safe and bounce their theories and ideas principally off one another instead of pushing their luck in the peer-reviewed academy. This is because their...

Re: Eternal marriage & temple endowment handshakes, tokens, signs & passwords
1. Because the Mormon temple cultus has nothing to do with God, Christ, angels, or the endless eternities. It has everything to do with Masonic cosplay with a twist of lemon from Joseph Smith. 2. Because the Mormon temple sealing has nothing to do with God, Christ, angels, or the endless eternities....

Re: I love it when our discussions end up on Reddit
Great stuff!!! Yes, it has become increasingly seriously ODD that if the Mopologists actually believed they had something credible, they would fall all over themselves to get it into a scholarly journal for the world would read. Why go with piddle when you can win the gold medal of excellent valida...

Re: When will the Church acknowledge the harm.
I'm sorry, yellowstone123, for what you've gone through with the church. Believers are often more interested in boundary maintenance and in separation from those whom they deem "unworthy" than they are in applying the spirit of compassion, which their religions ostensibly teach. I don't think that t...

Re: Tim Ballard, A True Mormon Hero
Thank Vishnu for Tim Ballard. Not only is his impeccable example helping the church to move even farther to the American political right, but he's just all-around a damn fine person with a great head of Mormon executive priesthood hair.

Re: John Larsen leaves Mormonism (again)
Mormonism can be an exhausting phenomenon. Believers tend to talk about it almost unawares because the church animates them in every aspect. Critics tend to let Mormonism dominate their minds for a long time even after leaving it. John Larsen noted in his farewell YouTube post that the topic of Morm...

Re: Bushman Delivers Another Devastating Blow
DCP is often guilty of the very thing he accuses critics of being: Willfully ignorant of (or dismissive of) facts. At this point, decades of Mopologetics (including the opportunity cost of publishing the two books that we had hoped to see in 2014-2015) have shaped the DCP that we now have. Nothing f...

Is it just me, or is Billy Zane's character speaking English with a stereotypical 18th century pirate accent?
