The Glory of God is Intelligence: July 2015
http://mormonthings.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
The Glory of God is Intelligence. Friday, July 31, 2015. Well, guess what? You can no longer count me among the doubters. I am now more certain than ever that many of the Mormon church's core claims are absolutely false. I am also now convinced that the Mormon church does not truly care about its people, but only about their strict conformity to outdated and increasingly irrelevant values, chief among which are blind obedience to authority and bigotry towards those who are different.

The Glory of God is Intelligence: August 2013
http://mormonthings.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
The Glory of God is Intelligence. Tuesday, August 20, 2013. I Still Remember What It's Like. Nearly every teenager feels misunderstood at times. As parents, we sometimes like to point out that we have been teenagers once too, so we understand more than they think we do. On the other hand, they have not yet been parents. Consequently, our world view includes a memory of something like theirs, but transcends it because of all our subsequent experiences. Spearheaded by Mormon Stories. She said this without ...

The Glory of God is Intelligence: March 2014
http://mormonthings.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
The Glory of God is Intelligence. Tuesday, March 18, 2014. I am currently reading the book "Willful Blindness" by Margaret Heffernan. One subject Heffernan discusses is how we tend to cling to our beliefs no matter how much evidence is stacked against them. This can apply to political views, religious beliefs, or our beliefs about ourselves. Since this is a blog about religion I want to focus on the religious aspect of this phenomenon.

Book of Mormon Research: Conclusion
http://bookofmormonresearch.blogspot.com/2015/08/conclusion.html
Book of Mormon Research. Thursday, August 6, 2015. I started this project several years ago, working on it in my spare time. I had many more topics relevant to Book of Mormon historicity that I wanted to write about, but I no longer have the interest or urgency to continue for now. I recently posted what I hoped to be the final post in my general Mormon-themed blog. It makes absolutely no sense at all for the Book of Mormon translation to contain biblical passages translated into the identical King James...

The Glory of God is Intelligence: Religious Liberty
http://mormonthings.blogspot.com/2015/07/religious-liberty.html
The Glory of God is Intelligence. Sunday, July 5, 2015. The reaction of some conservative religious people to the recent Supreme Court decision has me a bit perplexed. This article from the Witherspoon Institute by Carl Esbeck. Claims that the Supreme Court's decision has the effect of redefining marriage, which erodes religious freedom and freedom of speech. The article has links to three briefs filed with the court to argue against striking down state laws forbidding same -. Sex marriage. This brief.

The Glory of God is Intelligence: December 2014
http://mormonthings.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
The Glory of God is Intelligence. Wednesday, December 17, 2014. The Mormon church's publication of a series of essays on problematic areas of history and doctrine provides a disturbing picture if you look beyond the surface. Links to these essays along with critical analyses can be found on the MormonThink website. I learned about another instance of a cover up at a high level while listening to John Dehlin interview Sandra Tanner on Episode 473 of the Mormon Stories Podcast. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
