“Mormon bad. Smith bad. You Cult.”
I got called a cultist yesterday. My skin is getting thicker about the accusation. I’m starting to realize it usually comes from people that don’t actually want to engage in theology. If someone says Protestantism is better and wants to make a positive argument about grace, salvation, or the trinity it is possible to have…

Saying Lord Lord
There has been a heated debate for the thirty years I’ve been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as to whether Mormons are Christians. You’ve probably read my own thoughts about my hesitation to call myself a Christian, but that is not what this post is about. Jesus said…

Inactive or Feral
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints would consider me an inactive member when it considered me at all. But “inactive” is boring and weak. I don’t want to be as lame as that sounds. I have begun to refer to myself as a feral Mormon. That sounds weird and a little dangerous.…

Three Beers In
Stephanie let me sleep this morning. Ben didn’t but she let me go back to bed after he was done with me. Diaper and soda first thing in the morning. What a life. But today has mostly been mobile games in between the job of taking care of my adult disabled autistic children. The struggle…

Murdered for Treason

Snake’s Day 2025

Arguing for Free Speech
There are some pretty repulsive things that I still think people should be able to say. Holocaust denial seems stupid but how are we going to correct that stupidity if it is not out in the open. White supremacy (or black separatism) is racist and wrong, but would rather have it spoken openly than festering…

I’d rather be a bad Mormon than a good Episcopalian.
If it’s a choice between unmerited grace and merited rewards I choose the latter.

Mormon and Me
As you are probably already aware I spend way too much time on Facebook. I really love looking at memes and occasionally make a few myself. There’s a page called Mormonr that posts quality Mormon themed memes. I got into an argument today over the use of the word: thy. If I use thy I’m…

Cultural Mormonism
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints does not like the word Mormon. It officially forbids members from calling ourselves one. The logic is sound of course for most members. We are to call ourselves Christians or Latter Day Saints. But if you’ve read more than a few of my posts then you…
