Sacred Texts, Autism, and Anthropology
I believe in a historical Jesus. I am fascinated by the mythical Jesus. I think that the New Testament is the beginning of that myth and that it continues in the Quran and the Book of Mormon. I study sacred texts through a lens of autism and anthropology. I am not an evangelist for my…

Steady Light Snow
It’s been a long day. At about four this morning Ben woke up, got loud, and woke me up with him. I couldn’t get back to sleep with his noise, so I took a hot shower and got into clean jammies. I’ve done most of the things I want to do every day at this…

Liminal Time
The space between Christmas and New Years is a strange time in the USA. We have goals that we all put off for next year. We procrastinate our collective salvation. I am drifting. The winter is cold and I’ve got what I need. Stephanie is not quite as liminal as I am. Alex’s day program…

Judgement and Acting
I am a judgmental person and that is why I work so hard to know people. But this is in opposition to my desire for fame. One doesn’t really get to know fans or they all turn into friends. Friends accept my judgement and fans can do whatever they want as long as they are…

Headache
I stayed awake for 32 hours on purpose and now I have a headache. I need to wait a little while to take my psych meds and go to bed. I am not as young as I used to be.

Reciprocation
I think Mormons should treat Christians the way the Christians treat Jews and Muslims the way Muslims treat Christians. Dispensationalism means further Dispensations honor previous Dispensations.
