Heavy Hearts
William came over to do his laundry. I made us Hawaiian bread mini hotdogs. We both enjoyed them and the box is gone. We also talked about the divorce. Stephanie assures him that our family is still “together.” I disagree and I can feel that as much as he wants things to go back to…

Wrong
Danny and I have a running argument about whether a person can be wrong. His stance is that everything is just an opinion and that there is no such thing as a wrong way to see things. I on the other hand am convinced that reality is cold and hard and that it will stab…

Spirit
I’m becoming more solid in my monoaltrism. Human things like father, mother, and child proceed from spirit. I muddle things by using the term Holy Spirit. That is a specifically Christian concept from the Trinity and is only repurposed a little to fit the LDS Godhead. But if our origin is spirit and manifest gods…

Emotional Invested Arguing
There are people I care about that are wrong. I don’t think it matters how clearly or passionately I argue my case that they will see why they are wrong. Perhaps when I point the finger three fingers are pointing back at me. I am however convinced that truth exists and that I have better…

Free Markets and Losers
Stephanie and I are arguing about capitalism again. We are both bad at making and saving money. She doesn’t see that as a problem while I do. And she keeps saying I argue that “Capitalism is true.” I think it’s a strawman. My argument is that capitalism is effective in producing things that I desire,…

Subscriptions to The Temple
I had a long conversation with a good friend about my Mormonism. I tried to explain temple worthiness to him. I typed about the way one is declared worthy and he associated that with gatekeeping. I replied that he was accurate. I mentioned that I would have to pay a tithe to enter the temple.…

The Right to Offend
I am convinced that the principle of free speech is a heavenly one. It is predicated on the freedom to choose liberty and eternal life (2 Nephi 2:27). It is an essential element in the righteous need to tell the truth. Sometimes the truth offends people, but that offense is not a sufficient reason to…
