Against the Greater Light: December 2014
http://questioningthechurch.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 28, 2014. While I visited with my family over the holidays, it somehow came up in conversation that I didn't know who invented the television. I could have guessed the guy's last name was Farnsworth, although I must admit that's only because it came up once on Futurama. But I had no clue about the first name. Apparently it's Philo. Poor guy. Professor Hubert Farnsworth (left) and his distant ancestor Philo T. Farnsworth (right). This time, it was a struggle. The stupid one, right? I coul...

Against the Greater Light: Alma 62: The Nephihah Stratagem
http://questioningthechurch.blogspot.com/2015/06/alma-chapter-62.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Alma 62: The Nephihah Stratagem. Moroni receives Pahoran's letter and decides to rush off to his aid. This chapter seems to have a higher-than-average level of insanity to it, so buckle up. Perhaps an Apology is in Order? Captain Moroni has kind of a weird reaction to Pahoran's epistle in the opening verses of this chapter:. Where's the contrition for threatening to beat up an old friend? Waitwhere were these people hiding? The war's been raging for more than a decade by this poin...

Against the Greater Light: June 2015
http://questioningthechurch.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2015. And, finally, we have reached the end of the Beastly Book of Alma. Nothing important happens in this chapter, except that all the cool people die. The Curious Case of Hagoth's Helpers. To take this dangerous, blind adventure with him. Moral of the story? Doctrinally, there isn't one. But practically speaking, we can learn that if you really need to fill six verses of column space, a juicy mysterious disappearance will do nicely. Corianton's Character Arc Ends in Confusion. This is...

Against the Greater Light: April 2015
http://questioningthechurch.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 27, 2015. Mormon-Themed Memes 11: Cookisms. Almost a month after General Conference, after all the idiotic. Things spouted from the pulpit in the Conference Center, one thing in particular has stuck with me more than anything else—Elder Quentin L. Cook's blatant deception about the strength of the church. Maybe it's six of one and half a dozen of the other. But regardless, those claims of his still make me want to laugh and punch something at the same time:. Links to this post. This is the ...

Against the Greater Light: Baby Blessings
http://questioningthechurch.blogspot.com/2012/04/baby-blessings.html
Monday, April 30, 2012. Baby blessings are weird. They've always weirded me out. When I was growing up I thought they seemed weird, but, like so many other times, I ignored what weirded me out in favor of focusing on how awesome being Mormon was because it was all true and shit. They were weird.but I couldn't make that final jump between passively formulating the thought and actively latching onto the concept. Does that mean they were bad people? This guy gave her a wonderful blessing. He promised he...
