Huge hat tip to Nick Smith for alerting me to James K.A. Smith’s post, “Mitt Romney’s Faith in America”. I love Smith’s concluding analysis:
But I hope Mr. Romney and his culture warrior friends (whether on the Right or Left) won’t be surprised if some of us find it hard to believe [...]
Anyone familiar with the story of the Book of Mormon will know the phrase, “plates of brass.” These plates are one of many sets of plates that we read of in the book. We encounter them early on, in I Nephi 3.3:
For behold, Laban hath the record of the Jews and also a genealogy [...]
I admire Glenn Beck’s love for country, but there is more than meets the eye behind all his rhetoric. He conflates religion with America because the LDS Church believes that Jesus came to America, that God blessed the “Jews” who responded to Jesus here in America (none of this has been historically or [...]
The current issue of First Things, which I subscribe to, contains an article with a topic very familiar to those of us who interact with the LDS Church: Is Mormonism Christian ? The authors are Bruce D. Porter from the First Quorum of the [...]
A replica of the dead sea scrolls was on display at the Cumorah Hill LDS visitor’s center in Palmyra and I decided to drop in and take a peek. At the same time, I feared LDS propaganda but thought that such would be minimal considering that they were displaying the Dead Sea Scrolls, which I [...]
The following is my response to a couple posts from respectful and thoughtful Mormons. Their comments are found at: http://endued.wordpress.com/2007/12/20/does-mitt-romney-have-any-integrity-even-newsweek-is-questioning-his-tactics/
Ty and Kenneth, Thanks for your thoughtful response. I have had past experiences with LDS folks as well and I have the utmost admiration for their way of life, love for family, and [...]
Read this link from Newsweek on Romney’s latest attack ad on Huckabee: http://www.newsweek.com/id/80949
Mitt Romney’s second waves of attacks on Huckabee are laughable. Even Newsweek is pointing out how dishonest and misleading Romney is being.
Maybe I am hitting below the belt on what I am about to say, [...]
Mitt Romney has sent some folks to Arkansas to probe into Mike Huckabee’s record…desperately hoping to expose something harmful to Mike Huckabee. This is the same Romney that wants amnesty for his reversal on major moral issues, such as his switch on Abortion. He went from not just being mildly pro-abortion, but actually attended Planned [...]
A picture of the Cumorah Hill, where legend has it that Joseph Smith befriended an Angel named Moroni, who entrusted him with golden plates full of Egyptian Hieroglyphics, containing the Book of Mormon. Anyhow, this is located right near me in Palmyra, New York (where I happen to get [...]
