I don't claim to be much of an incisive critic of the fine arts, but this A.I.-generated stuff really speaks to me. As for Dan Peterson's A.I.-generated portrait, well, damn. Well done, our soon-to-be robotic overlords. The real Dan Peterson isn't very artful to behold. Sure, he's a being of eternal...

(Not sure what this is supposed to represent other than two nearly naked grown men, one who is clearly doing a ballet dance) https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4b/15/8b/4b158b6e0dfd13c150f55ff867d8923b.jpg I think it is supposed to be reminiscent of the murder of Laban by Nephi. The high-leg spearing t...

Sincerest thanks for this post, Gad. The "cult" label was a low-brow pejorative that, as a TBM for decades, I expected to hear from certain evangelical circles. However, sometimes one can't appreciate the expansive view of his own surroundings until he's moved a bit and can see with a fresh perspect...

He’s talented, though. His sculpture work is excellent. - Doc If you google "Joseph Brickley sculpture" these are the first images that pop up: https://www.mormonwiki.com/wiki/images/f/f5/Brickey_Carrara_Torso.jpg https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSiq1pRvT0PdJevY4oJGNU-4pw7iPYWP...

Sensual masculinity is a recurring theme in much Mormon pop art. As an additional example, think of Arnold Friberg's artwork that is still published in the stand-alone versions of the Book of Mormon. You know what I'm talking about... Lehi, with that billionaire sugar daddy vibe, that manly beard, a...

Please, God. Please let this man be called as an apostle as soon as a vacancy opens up. Please...

Miracles are hard to come by in the present era, and Mormons are now accustomed to an evolution of sorts in the kinds of miracles available. For example, instead of the miracle of healing through faith and priesthood blessings, apostles now tell stories of having the faith not to be healed through p...

Professor, this interview is really interesting. Isaiah in the Book of Mormon was the starting of the cracking of my sagging shelf. If I had been able then to have the information that you and Townsend discussed in the interview, well... it would have made things a bit quicker for me.

When Russell Nelson took the reigns of the LDS Church as prophet, there were many "revelations" from God. Wendy had to leave their bedroom so God would speak to Russell. There were a flurry of new ideas and tweakings of old ones, like it's a win for Satan everytime someone calls it the "Mormon" chu...

Let's assume that non-Mormon, non-endowed, non-TR-holding EMS personnel went into the ordinance room to help save a person in desperate medical need. Would the temple have to close down afterward and quietly be rededicated before doing more ordinances? Are Mormons that uptight about it? Surely, that...
