Noah is attested in all the modern revelation: book of Abraham, doctrineand covenants, book of Mormon, conference sessions... Joseph mentions having seen others in vision, including Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, but does not detail their association (D&C 128:20-21). President John Taylor identified...

Science: a methodology for determining which of your beliefs are false, to help you define questions that will lead you closer to truth. Science can't determine truth meaningfully in a direct way. The hard sciences are about constructing MODELS of SYSTEMS based on observation. The universe as we ob...

Oh, we were talking about Mueller? Strange you didn't mention him in that post.

Basketball is the way it is because high scoring games generate more views and engagement with the fans. That means tickets and ad revenue and network sales. The zone defense was too effective and slowed games down, required players to be too highly skilled to score. IMHO it's about the money genera...

As pointed out earlier, 30 some-odd employees of Donald Trump were criminally charged because of their participation with Russia meddling and related activities. Trump pardoned a number of them. Accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt. Some of Trumps employees have admitted to working with Russi...

Alas, I meant it more as you generic and plural. I can see how it could be interpreted as at you singlularly. I apologize for writing sloppily. I've been to a number of heiaus in hawaii. Who knows how many have been swallowed by the sea and lava? Knocked down by earthquakes. We only see what remains.

Standing matters. You have to be a harmed party. That people filed lawsuits they knew would be thrown out because they couldn't find voters who were actually harmed shows it was grandstanding.

If the claims and evidence were true, there would have been harmed voters to represent.

It is strange that it is at the temple, isn’t it.

It is to be expected because you've been psychologically primed that's where it is easiest to happen. You've been set up to interpret anything that happens there, good or bad, in that light.

I'm supportive of my trans and non binary kids. I still misgender them now and then after years of trying. It's hard to overcome the prior years of language in my head. My career was in writing and i have a minor in German where nouns are all gendered in various ways.i have a lot of programming in m...

I don't think I saw flaws like you seem to think I did. My observation was watching the news report the thief. Then after the election never mentioned again. this happens all the time that the news drops a story. It might be because of time and editorial constraints it might be because nothing's hap...

I accept none, nontheist, atheist.

There was no insurrection. No one has proved otherwise. There are some assumptions in that claim that I think are flawed. Insurrection is not clearly delineated by specific features or actions in US law. It uses more generalized terms. To say no one has proved otherwise is to assume there are speci...

They'll have to skirt restrictions against bill of attainder which is generally not permitted under US law.

There is a scene in On a Sunbeam. That's a genderqueer sci-fi comic about a space construction crew. You can read the whole thing on-line for free or buy it at most bookstores. https://www.onasunbeam.com/ In roughly the middle of Chapter 13, they're leaving a job that went bad and this scene crystal...

It's about protecting church tax exemption even if they disallow gay marriage on their property or officiation.

Re: the long difficult hikes sharing difficulty can be very romantic, at least in building connection. If you want to hike fast, hike alone. If you want to hike far, hike in groups. The psychology of that holds and if you show concern for the others condition and cooperate, it matters on those tough...

Let your son direct how deep to go.

Start with that you just don't believe anymore and that's OK. If he wants to know more, let him direct on what topics and when. Let him know you'll talk about it as much or as little as he wants.

No matter what you called it, I hated both sides of home teaching/ministering

That was always my experience. The church members really aren't my tribe.
