Provisional Thinking
I have come to the realization that one of my more peculiar quirks is that I reject ontological certainty as a class. I have a desire to continue a lifelong journey of learning. I wish to increase my share of both human and divine knowledge. That takes a level of humility on the lines of…

Ten Years From Now
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? I like this area of the country. Janesville, Wisconsin is a good place to live. It’s relatively safe and clean, it’s got a good mix of local and big name businesses, I haven’t seen much discrimination here because I’m a Mormon, and we’ve got family and friends…

Atheist Hell (Part Two)

Reading the Scriptures
What book could you read over and over again? I have a book affectionately called a Quad. It contains the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine & Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. If I’m haggling I will call that one book. I have studied it, pondered and prayed about it, read and…

Atheist Hell
Atheists don’t believe in hell. I mean of course they don’t, right? They believe that when we die we cease to exist. They believe that when those that love us die even our memory will cease to exist. Obviously there are nuances. Claiming that all atheists believe one particular thing denies their individuality. I don’t…
