Is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints A Cult? Is it Transphobic? Does it protect child molesters? Beau Oyler is a former Latter-day Saint who recently went on @SoftWhiteUnderbelly a channel with almost 7 million subscribers. I think this interview is a case study in the sort of story telling interviews ex mormons often give and why they so often can be deeply problematic.

The other day Joe Heschmeyer released a video critiquing arguments made for the Book of Mormon by comparing similar arguments made for the Koran. But does Joe have a point? Are the arguments for the Book of Mormon no better than arguments for the Koran? My friend Luke Hanson from Ward Radio sent me over some of his thoughts, and frankly, I think after watching this you will see how Joes argument backfires big time.

So the other day I decided I wanted to watch the most popular video on YouTube critical of the church. And what came up in the results was a video by Johnny Harris. Johnny is a very popular, talented and charismatic YouTube journalist. He also is an ex-mormon and this was his video explaining why he left the church.

So I recently have started doing what are called spaces on X. These are a new way to do Audio only livestreams that basically are like a radio show where anyone on x call in and talk. I recently did one while on a long drive and the subject of original sin came up… let’s just say it was interesting to say the least.

Between 1831 and 1834, the early Latter-day Saint movement was rapidly growing and Joseph was in the middle of it all. From establishing church headquarters in Kirtland, Ohio, to overseeing the building of the Kirtland Temple, publishing revelations, and leading the Saints through challenges in Missouri, this period highlights both the struggles and faith that shaped the foundation of the Latter-Day Saints.

Did Joseph smith Practice Polygamy? We decided to explore what it would mean if the Polygamy deniers were right… and frankly, if they are right… we have some major problems. Polygamy denialist’ “Faith Package” 1. Accept the belief JS did not practice plural message. 2. Reject, as deceptions, the testimonies of the Church’s highest leaders (ERS, ZH, BS, BY, JT, WW, and LS) after 1844 regarding their eyewitness accounts of JS’s introduction of the practice of plural marriage. Accept that the C...
Can Doctrine Change? Has doctrine ever changed? If a doctrine is true… why would it change? If we say a doctrine can change, does that mean don’t think that doctrine is true? Can any Doctrine?

Jim Bennett is an online Latter Day Saint commentator who has some very strong opinions about me. So I decided to have another conversation with him moderated by our mutual friend Steven Pynakker of @MormonBookReviews.

Are we even responsible for what we do? Should we be held morally accountable? If human beings are ultimately chemical reactions playing themselves out over time, then can we even control what we do?
