I don't know about you, but I've noticed that activity related to the "Mormon Interpreter" blog and its leadership seem to be, well, slowing . And now, with today's offering , we may have an explanation for why posting at "SeN" has slowed to little more than a crawl, with the proprietor seemingly ba...

Hmm. Dr. Gee doesn't mention those pesky details. Instead, he argues that "David's involvement in pornography marks a turning point in his life" and that "the Bible depicts him as spending the rest of his life dealing with the consequences of his actions." Dr. Gee then lists these consequences: 1. ...

Word on the street is that DCP is a family friend of the Smoots and that he has genuine avuncular concern for Young Smoot. Interesting, Reverend--I'm sure you're right. And interesting choice of word there: "concern" and "affection," of course, are not the same thing, exactly. I can't help but thin...

I should add that I hope that Dr. Peterson, his wife, and everyone they were in contact with goes and gets tested for COVID. I think that everyone understands at this point that there are reasons why people will go against the official recommendations: e.g., the George Floyd protests. But the ethica...

It occurs to me that Dr. Peterson is in a bit of a pickle. On the one hand, he wants to reinforce the advice of public health professionals vis-a-vis the COVID pandemic. On the other hand, though, he also wants to give people "other things" to read/think about, hence this jaunty little tale : Yester...

I've always thought that Dr. Peterson kind of resembles Lou Gentine, of Sargento Cheese notoriety. Lou has more hair, but they both share that connection to cheese.

The Book of Abraham is like the Kobayashi Maru of Mopologetics: it’s the ultimate “no-win situation,” and that’s why old-guard people like DCP, Welch, Hamblin, and Midgley would never touch it with a ten-foot pole. They have *always* farmed this stuff out to Gee, and they haven’t always been very s...

If your premise is correct, then that's a bad sign for Dr. Gee, 'cause Mopologetics is typically a lifetime tenure. If one quits being a Mopologist before one dies, then apostasy seems to quickly follow. Dr. Shades: My apologies—I didn’t mean to imply that Gee was retiring as a Mopologist. Rather, ...

Happy Halloween, everyone! Under normal circumstances, we'd be up for all sorts of tricks and treats. But these aren't normal times, and so we have to settle (I guess) for Mopologetic tricks instead, such as this incredibly bizarre blog post from Steve Smoot . The abstract clues you in to what's goi...
