Indeed, IHAQ.

Ratzinger wrote a book and in it he discussed what it meant to be an Old Testament prophet. (Jesus of Nazareth: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfiguration.) And that was basically to warn the people against their sins . Would Ratzinger pay 10% of his income to have a random guy warning h...

Dr. Moore,

Was President Nelson wearing a mask during his address?

When you have smart folks at the national and state level encouraging people to wear masks you are then requiring President Nelson to explicitly do the same or you’re calling out his prophetic leadership?

]My second is to return to a line of thought prompted by Sub's last free speech post: how does the current effort to sabotage our election process through the deliberate telling of lies stack up with the already recognized exceptions to free speech?

DCP's moral theory is deeply schizophrenic. Here, he alleges common ground he has with atheists. But this shouldn't be allowed thanks ...

As Shulem said, the Brethren are scared of offending their primarily far-right base. An actuary somewhere has predicted tithing revenues in the case of more masks with fewer deaths vs. more deaths with fewer offenses, and decided they are still better off with more deaths. That's really something, c...
