Re: Romney on Pardoning Trump
Wild seeing someone saying "let the voters decide" while simultaneously genuflecting to the Electoral College, which was partially designed to circumvent what the voters decide, just in case a Ship of Fools scenario happened, and literally makes partisan minority votes within states null-and-void re...

Re: Romney on Pardoning Trump
Trump is being prosecuted because there is sufficient evidence that he committed multiple crimes. He's been indicted by at least three different grand juries. In blue states, blue inner cities, with partisan left wing judges, juries, and prosecutors. So now, Trump has appointed a left-wing judge, w...

Re: Hitler may have a better chance in heaven than ex-Mormon apostates
Perhaps I’m misremembering (and my apologies to Dr. Peterson, if I am), but hasn't he stated before that one of the reasons atheism has no appeal to him, is that it lacks the cosmic justice for those who are victims of atrocities? Where is the justice for the millions of gays, Jews, Communists, gyps...

Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
[...] Jorgensen offers up a number of reasons why "none of the accounts that record the miracle [were] written on the day of the manifestation or shortly thereafter." Readers will need to decide whether any of them are convincing. [...] As always, Tom, you remind me why I rush to read any time I've...

Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
I've learned more from this thread than I had known before about how the LDS movement survived Smith's death and rallied behind Brigham Young. My guess would be that Smith never made real succession plans because he was expecting to live on for many more years as sole Prophet. He might have recogni...

Re: Trump's Religion vs Obama's Religion
If you have such a clear memory, how many teachers and how many schools are we talking about? Several. I can't remember anyone singing songs of praise to Trump. While some people were too busy writing books that he was the Son of Man , there were indeed some "singing songs of praise." Like "Trump i...

Re: Mormons Against Trump
Trump is possibly going to get dementia as he is showing early signs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPo1Z54syJE&t=1660s How long will it take for him to catch up with Biden? Well... Trump's been unable to control his bowels, and wearing diapers for years, so he might already have him beat. Toss-u...

Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
You would think the Saints would abandon this obvious artifact of trickery and hokum. It doesn't bother me because I think I understand the nature and role of miracle stories. My guess is that most miracle stories evolve according to need and a continuing revisitation of the event. Over time, diffe...

Re: Bigotry Unleashed: "SeN" Declares Open Season on Calvinism and Other Faiths
I’ve never forgotten a comment that John Sanders, another Protestant theologian who visited BYU a couple of times (and whom I admire on several levels), made to me and Lou Midgley over dinner one evening: “I would feel a whole lot better about Calvinism,” he remarked, “if I had ever met a Calvinist...
