But like-

Why all the subterfuge to begin with?

I hadn’t even heard of Mike Parker until now, nor the controversy of his Mo’ apologetics, nor his appropriative, ‘digital black-face’.

To be honest nor was I really aware of Dr. Peterson before I left the church. Oh- I’m sure my family took us kids to visit a FAIRMormon or FARMS exhibit while on some church history trip, but I didn’t care because the gospel was already true in my mind due to youthful warm fuzzies and plenty of religious social learning.

Is there really still a demand for the kind of apologetics Peterson represents?

What was the motivation for lying about race? I mean if Neville-Neville Land was some political blog where race can be used to garner authenticity and other kinds of social currency, I can see the motive. How does it factor in when it comes to pulling apart an obscure religious belief that very few people are even aware of, much less care about?

Excellent question. I thought it might be a stupid attempt to be clever about the racist views of certain Heartlanders. An effort to imagine a likely foil that would be difficult to attack directly without revealing exactly who a Heartlander is at heart.

Doctor, would you be so kind as to link the original Nygren accusation?

The question that I have is where did Robert Boylan get the very detailed idea that “Richard Boylan Nygren” was an AA apologist that lives in Birmingham, AL? And if Smoot and DCP knew who was behind Peter Pan, why didn’t they set the record straight? DCP admitted he knew who Peter Pan was, so why did he run with Boylan’s lie? These guys have some very serious explaining to do.

Edit: not Boylan, rather Nygren, derp

From the video, it looks to me like Robert Boylan was not in on the tasteless "gag." He seems to believe sincerely that Richard Nygren, Black LDS apologist, is a real person. So, who was his source?

Mike Parker was aware, and apparently implies it's true, although he says it obliquely:
19 July 2022
"Recommended watching: Spencer Kraus’s interview with Robert Boylan"

By Peter | Tags: Heartland hoax, Historical sources, Seer stones

Even though this interview goes into more detail about this blog than I’m comfortable with, I still warmly recommend it to my reader(s):

Yeah. Who told Boylan about Richard Nygren? But whatever the case here...I hope this results in the heartlanders and the LGT Central Americaners come together as one as Jesus prayed they would. Sometimes it takes this level of nuttiness to help one realize what's really important.
