Re: Fight The New Drug
Do you think people who use porn need to be identified like criminals? If not, then consider that the church is for this kind of support. The high priest who molested my kids, and others, now in jail - 40 years without parole (he was producing child porn - not enough to molest them, had to video ...

The role of women, and men, is most harmful.

Re: 2023 PRRI Census of American Religion
I wish there was another label for the unaffiliated. Humanism? Autonomous? Humanism already kind of means something, so it doesn't work as a sufficient catch-all for all of the unaffiliated. Autonomous might kind of work. The biggest weakness with "unaffiliated" is that it frames from the whole ...

Re: 100th Birthday Party Broadcast for President Nelson
Africa, wow! Yes, travel is life changing, puts it in perspective.
It's challenging to celebrate someone who has lived a privileged lifestyle in tandem with others struggling with hardship and inequality.
Wish more missions were legitimate service missions.

Re: Religious Scrupulosity OCD
I remember in our ward, a stake pres was handing out “all-in” buttons, a token for those who engaged in the sacred practices: temple visits, home and visiting teaching, family home evenings. It was curious—many who wore these badges of honor hadn’t completed every task, while others, diligently commi ...

Re: Convictions

If you define believe as living as if something is true, then yes, I play along with all kinds of societal conventions, feel strongly about some moral issues, and even continue to follow a number of teachings I learned ...

Re: Convictions
My personal "spiritual" experiences alternate between hating God and reminding myself He doesn't exist. Any good feelings come from a bit of cheese, a good night's sleep, or pleasant weather—nothing more. I'm still deciding what love is. There are lots of different kinds of love, and I'm settling on ...

Re: Class action lawsuit over tithing
The legal system seems to be faltering. A scary thing when laws are not enforced for the wealthy, prisons are filled with the innocent, judges are bribed, juries intimidated. I think a certain political party - perhaps all political parties, have corrupted the system. Religious groups - from tax ...
