Re: Do Mormons have a valid position on the problem of evil
you will realise that there are things called complex numbers that at first glance seem impossible, but that enable one to solve equations that otherwise have no solution. Sometimes theology can have concepts a bit like that, and the incarnation is one of them. Mathematics is a manmade construct ju...

Re: Do Mormons have a valid position on the problem of evil
Peter Bleakley has an interesting take on Mormonism and the problem of evil. The key ingredient I would add if I talked about that again is the idea that our intelligences, whatever they are but I'm assuming a unit of light and truth with the inbuilt potential to progress and go all the way to becom...

Re: Epic Mormonism Live on Rosebud Accusations
No. My best guess is focused on the textbook definition of natural selection.

Re: Mormonism, factual relativism, and Donald Trump
Thanks. Although I left Mormonism a number of years ago and have discussed it in discussions with NPR and other general-interest media, I haven't interacted much with with the Post-Mormon community. Now that I am working on a memoir the deals heavily with Christian fundamentalism, I figured I shoul...

Re: Epic Mormonism Live on Rosebud Accusations
I think there is an orchestrated attack on anything perceived as anti Mormon from the church. I think the internet has forced them into a rabid frenzy similar to what gay marriage did and their pox. I certainly wouldn't exclude the possibility. What is the evidence supporting this, however? The Kwa...

Re: Epic Mormonism Live on Rosebud Accusations
Does it have anything to do with the fact that the almost equally bizarre Kate Kelly has taken up her cause for her own benefit? KK has lost relevance, and so now she goes after Dehlin by using some broken lady with a Dehlin fixation. Teaming up with Kwaku El, who is, charming though he may be, alm...

Re: Epic Mormonism Live on Rosebud Accusations
It is Mike Norton and Mitt Romney's temple ceremony all over again. But for years and years. She's definitely changed tactics. 1) Find someone who doesn't know the difference between being an asshole and sexually harassing someone 2) Send them some of the emails and texts 3) Have them tell everyone...

Re: Epic Mormonism Live on Rosebud Accusations
It guess it could be said that I'm John Dehlin-ing John Dehlin. Bringing up unsavory history he doesn't want to talk about that eventually changes one's perspective of him and hopefully deters people from buying into what he's peddling. He's not the Church, but he's no saint either and he has consi...

Re: Epic Mormonism Live on Rosebud Accusations
Yep. And it's spiraled into a narrative that John is an abusive controlling maniac who can destroy careers and lives with a snap of his fingers simply by wielding his immense power and influence. James Patterson quotes someone saying: Over the years, I have seen what happens to people who publicly ...

Re: Fake Book of Mormon Geography -- holes in the script
So what happened to those missing pages? I suppose they could have gone into the fireplace but why? Did someone want to make a do over, a new start? There is no telling for sure what became of the Lost 116 pages (Wikipedia). It's not outside the realm of possibility, the entire manuscript or a part...
