Pick a new name
If you had to change your name, what would your new name be? My name is a very classic one. A Gospel writer, a king, and a King of kings. I called it boring the last time I talked about it, but my mom reads my blog and defended her choice. So today I will…

Ultimate Rebellion
I’ve had 10mg of THC and I’m facing down the question: Am I a Mormon primarily to rebel against my dad? He’s an amazing guy but he takes money in exchange for his witness, When I met The Missionaries they preached the gospel for free. They even paid for the privilege to preach the gospel.…

General Conference April 24
I tried to watch the LDS General Conference sessions today. I have a hard time sitting still when I’m getting a lecture. I also had to take several long breaks to deal with the needs of the family. Of the four hours I probably managed to watch about a half hour here and there. One…

Mormon Polytheist
I referred to myself as a Mormon Polytheist yesterday. I used the term to give a snapshot of why I often side with heretics and pagans. While it is accurate to describe myself as a less active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, that is a mouthful and gives much…

Why I’m A Mormon
The Book of Mormon rises and falls on the single claim that Jesus visited the Americas after his resurrection. No amount of historical or archeological data can prove or disprove that one thing. The same is true for the resurrection itself. The central claim of traditional Christianity has to be taken on faith because it…

Uncomfortably Christian
Most Latter Day Saints and Mormons in general are comfortably Christian. They don’t see the least bit of incompatibility with the traditional Gospel and the Restored Gospel. The LDS Church goes to great lengths to assure the world that we are just as Christian as anyone else. I am uncomfortable with those assertions. I have…

My Politics
I am a member of the American Solidarity Party because I am trying to be more pro-life for the whole life. That’s incredibly motivating for me because my own disability and the disabilities of my family tend to put us in groups that are seen as “burdens to society” or sometimes even “human weeds.” I…
