Halloween Unveiling

Post by Deepthinker » Wed Oct 18, 2017 2:03 pm

Thought I would start this thread, since it is that time of year.

Anyone willing to change their avatar to a photo of themselves, go for it!

The picture is a few years old, but it has my doggie in the background so I like it.

Wait... We're not supposed to use actual photos of ourselves for our avatars???

It's frustrating to see the last resort in a discussion of facts be: I disregard those facts because of my faith. Why even talk about facts if the last resort is to put faith above all facts that are contrary to your faith?

Hmmm broken link. I fixed it in your quote above.

I'm such a skeptic that I think that article is fake news. Mike promoting Mike while targeting the church. However It aligns with Uncle Jesse's posts on Reddit. Maybe UJ is Mike Norton? I don't know who to believe anymore.

Follow the Mormon Stories link in the Medium article and you'll know exactly who UJ is. (And Mary Snap for that matter.)

I was reacting more to my knee jerk skepticism. That's been one side effect of losing my faith that bothers me sometimes. I just can't take things at face value anymore. It's good I guess but nonetheless it sometimes bothers my over active brain.

I haven't watched the interview yet but plan to.

Saw that Mary Snap article earlier, it's fascinating! And some people just do their photo for the day of Halloween if you want to do it that day/check back that day.

I'd forgotten about this tradition.
There are 2 Gods. One who created us. The other you created. The God you made up is just like you-thrives on flattery-makes you live in fear.

Believe in the God who created us. And the God you created should be abolished.

Mine is a photo my wife snapped of my son and I carrying our canoe on a camping trip in the Colorado Rockies this summer. I went looking for a photo of myself a little bit back and ran across that one. It amuses me so I used that. Some day I may change it back again to a regular photo of myself.
