I know that God is calling me to Provo, and that He’s going to provide a way. Even now He’s carving a path for me to take. I don’t know why He wants me there. He didn’t say why He wanted me there, He just said to “go.” I don’t know if asking questions will [...]

UPDATE 01/17/2010: In retrospect, I really dislike this post. I’m not going to delete it, but if you want to just skip ahead to the last part of this series, I won’t mind. If you do read this one, please do be sure to read the final post in the series. Thank you.

One of my complaints about Mormon-evangelical interactions is that we almost never focus on or talk about the positive things we see in the other side’s religion. Evangelicals are pretty infamous for pointing out all the bad in Mormonism, and while Mormons aren’t generally as outspoken in their negativity, I still seldom hear kind things [...]

And now, a post that has nothing to do with religion.
A music video about the DC Animated Universe Batgirl called “When Batgirl Was Young.” I recommend watching it in high quality.
I enjoyed the DCAU thoroughly, as my daughter Harley could tell you.

A few weeks after I met Aaron in LDS chat and after we’d had a number of exchanges and arguments, I reached a point of bleak depression in my study of the LDS church. My interactions with LDS apologists and the Pratts had completely worn me out. I was angry and I was exhausted and [...]

Earlier I noted that Bill McKeever of Mormonism Research Ministry had stuck up for Mormons after Tom Hanks called them “un-American” for supporting Proposition 8. It seems that Tom has apologized, and it’s an actual apology too, not the wussy politician kind where you say “I’m sorry if people got offended, but…” Here it is:

So, I noticed that over at By Common Consent, there was some discussion last month of a document recently put out by evangelical complementarians, “The True Woman Manifesto.” The comparison between the Manifesto and the LDS Proclamation on the Family by Cynthia L. is worth reading, but I thought I would go through the Manifesto [...]

In the summer of 1999, I began hanging out at LDSChat just for casual conversation, and that was where I made a few friends who would have a lasting influence on me. One of them was Aaron, a young man who lived in Provo, had just graduated from high school and was about to start [...]

Back when I began reading the arguments of LDS apologists, I had a lot of interaction with one by the name of Kevin Graham.1 Kevin had an argument on his apologetics Web site attacking the traditional Christian doctrine of creation ex nihilo and defending the LDS doctrine of creation ex materia, which I as a [...]

Rejoice, counter-cult ministry! I see the light. I have come to rejoin your ranks and ask your forgiveness, and wish to join you in denouncing the foul, non-Christian cult known as Mormonism.
Today I visited the LDS ward of that filthy Mormon husband of mine, an experience I normally enjoy, but upon arriving and reading the [...]
