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.

Who’s Christian?
I can’t go a day on the internet without running into a few people who try to declare definitively that Mormons aren’t Christians. To me that seems pretty hypocritical for someone who claims to follow Christ. It is ultimately up to Jesus whether he says “Well done good and faithful servant” or “Depart from me.…

Freedom of Religion
The Restored Gospel would have not been possible without freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion. It is no coincidence that the world was only ready for modern revelation in the United States where those freedoms are at least theoretically guaranteed. The LDS Church does not go where it would be…

Hard Day for Mormons

Admiration
What is something others do that sparks your admiration? I’ve said before here that I don’t like martyrdom. It’s easier to kill and die for one’s beliefs than it is to live for them and let others live for theirs. I admire when people can do the latter peacefully and articulately. I especially admire my…

T-Rex Dream
I had a dream that Baha’i and Mormons were having a public vote in front of a giant statue of Mohamed about who would run the one world government. Most Mormons didn’t show up though because the process was rigged. A small insect was flying around collecting the votes and came to the last vote…
