Christian Prejudices
In the effort to identify as a Christian church The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints needs to be more careful about adopting the prejudices of traditional Christianity. One in particular that continues to bother me is the way that Saints treat the Quran and Islam. I think there are some undeniable parallels…

Sunday 3 8 26
I’m about halfway through anti Lent. I have not directly quoted the Bible since Fat Tuesday. But there are so many phrases that I say that are based on Bible verses. I forgot to use “with great power comes great responsibility” and instead kinda quoted Paul. Only kinda. But when trying to put my Bibles…

Another Bad Tooth
I bit down wrong earlier today. One of my front incisors is loose, less than functional and a little bit painful. It’s next to the gap where the other front tooth fell out. At least it’s not bleeding anymore. Medicaid dental in Wisconsin stinks. I guess I’ll have to see if it tightens back up…

Followers and Influence
I want more followers but I won’t beg. I want more influence but I won’t sell my soul to promoters. So I quietly plug along hoping to at least be a little interesting. The algorithm doesn’t love me. But I’m confident that it doesn’t love you either. Likes and clicks are no match for real…

Interfering With My Agency
I have been arguing the past week over whether freedom means the ability to choose just what is good or whether I am not really free unless I can choose evil. My primary sins are coffee, tea, beer, THC, and porn. If my agency to indulge myself were taken away I would be less free.…

Unrest
The house is quiet right now, but I’m thinking about all the unrest here and abroad. I’m feeling particularly powerless to change any of it. In a few hours it’ll be Fast and Testimony Sunday. I do not have plans to go to church but I intend to fast and pray for a more peaceful…

Works Alone
Tonight I am a little high. That usually makes me a bit more Trinitarian, but tonight I am finding myself rejecting God. Not just my usual “God’s grace doesn’t exist” but rather a full blown case of “There are no gods and only my labor can save me.” Get better every day through effort every…
