How did Emma Smith feel about Fanny Alger after she caught her in the barn with Joseph?

Same thing, except that the news being invented by the Trump regime is much nastier and far more dangerous.

Aesop has too many talking animals. The Bible allows for snakes and donkeys, but ants and foxes? No way.

There is only one true god. His name is Zardoz, and Sean Connery is his prophet.

What do you want to bet that they will NOT talk about the constitution hanging by a thread.

If I use the Bible to define what a god-like person would be like, I'd have to say it would be someone who is temperamental, jealous, spiteful, and who is totally down with slavery and genocide.

If they gave homeless people a custodial job, they would be giving them dignity, but nooooooooo..., Are you kidding? They refuse to even let them come indoors on sub-zero winter nights to stave off frostbite. I don't know if any of you attended the big church Christmas concert the year they chose ...

Which is worse, a US president who imposes massive tariffs while being too stupid to understand how they actually work, or a US president who knows how they work but lies about it?

Why are ye so blind Brothers and Sisters? God WAS poor, but now he is RICH. Mormon God has $265 billion at his command... Why is it that in a time when there is no financial barrier to publishing books of world-saving new scripture, our prophets can't seem to come up with anything better than ...

This George Carlin clip came to mind. I think it sums up the question of Joseph and money: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GoYyiNRtMEE&pp=ygUWZ2VvcmdlIGNhcmxpbiByZWxpZ2lvbg%3D%3D I can honestly say those two minutes of comedy pulled my head out of my own religious orifice enough to make my ...

It's probably going to end up being Roko's Basilisk. https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-rokos-basilisk-2014-8 Fascinating. It also reminds me a bit of Harlan Ellison's I have No Mouth and I Must Scream. The article also identifies possible potential outcomes of the human threat that is causing ...

There's a lot of fear around the idea that AI will become sentient and rule over us. Considering how well humans are doing lately, I for one am cheering for this to happen. The caveat is that the new AI despot is a benevolent tyrant. It roots out corruption and eliminates it in ways that actually ...

My most common childhood fantasy was about being abducted by friendly aliens. I wanted it SO badly. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.

One cannot have faith in something that is not true? That's the MORmON definition of faith in Alma 32:21 "Faith is the hope for things which are not seen which are true." [/quote] The not seen part is easy. The true part is where it gets tricky. When the Heaven's Gate guys killed themselves they ...

If you're talking about how the clowns are running Gotham, yeah the Coffee Shop is probably the best place.

They will just add the 4th token, aka the Elon/Bannon token.

One of the stupidest things ever said: Donald Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation." He's ...

Yesterday Mrs. Hagoth and I both got emails from the church announcing the openhouse of the Salt Lake temple. This morning she pointed out that it is scheduled for more than two years from now? Whaaa? Mrs. H observed, "Nelson is just announcing it now because he knows he won't be alive to take all ...

The NCAA reported that of the 510,000 student athletes in their organization, fewer than TEN are transgender. That's less than .002% https://thehill.com/homenews/lgbtq/5046662-ncaa-president-transgender-athletes-college-sports/ Compare that to the amount of time and money spent villainizing and ...

It is interesting that the scriptures call this a "temple tax". So it isn't a Roman tax but it isn't designated as a tithing either. I may do some research on this. Were the Pharisees collecting an additional tax on top of tithing? Or is this the same donation that was given by the widow at the ...
