Interfaith marriages are rising fast, but they’re failing fast too by Naomi Schaefer Riley
(I know, what a diligent blogger I am, blogging about this two days after it was published.)
Here is the excerpt where I was interviewed:
Bridget Jack Meyers, an evangelical Christian who lives outside Chicago, married her husband, Paul, a Mormon, only after [...]

I’m sure I’ll be labeled as a homophobe for posting this, but here goes.
On Wednesday, August 19 at 2 PM precisely, the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church of America) held a convention in downtown Minneapolis wherein it voted to allow the ordination of sexually active homosexuals. As the convention was voting, an unexpected tornado formed over [...]

Sorry Mormons. Your weddings will never be as awesome as this.

From Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 547-548; cited in the 2003 Eternal Marriage Student Manual:
“You [women] were not created to be the same as men. Your natural attributes, affections, and personalities are entirely different from a man’s. They consist of faithfulness, benevolence, kindness, and charity. They give you the personality of a woman. They [...]

I have to say that I don’t really “get” non-member indignation over the LDS practice of baptism for the dead, brought into the spotlight recently due to the fact that someone in the church had Barack Obama’s late mother baptized posthumously last summer.

Jeremy Lott at the American Spectator published an article today comparing the Mormon concept of God to the character of Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen. I thought the article was a respectful and amusing thought exercise and could find no trace of anti-Mormonism within it. I haven’t seen the Watchmen movie yet, but I’m a fan [...]

I was only 16 when I looked up the contents of the LDS temple ceremonies using an Internet search engine, and the year was 1998. I can’t even remember why I did it other than that the Mormons told me not to do it. I guess I was one of those teenagers who would have [...]

Guys, guys.
I know that you’re angry about the rumors that the upcoming March 15 episode of Big Love is going to show parts of the LDS temple ceremony. Executive producer Mark Olsen told TV Guide, “We go into the endowment room and celestial room, and [...]

Doesn’t that sound deliciously scandalous? In just about every religion except Mormonism, a “priest” is a person of some authority among the clergy, so when they’re accused of wrongdoing it’s big news. Those who know little about Mormons probably think that a headline such as “Woman’s suit alleges abuse by Mormon priest” (Web Cite) means [...]
