Theology 101: EITHER the ancient Nicene faith is true Christianity OR the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true Christianity (or neither is true Christianity). But IN NO CASE can they both be true expressions of the faith once for all delivered to the saints.

Not to be a curmudgeonly snob, but has anyone else noticed an increase in the social acceptance of blatant spelling errors? I see more and more well adjusted adults misspelling common words.

Experts estimate the death toll from babies not receiving vitamin K shots may be greater than reported. More than 700 newborns died from spontaneous bleeding in their brains in 2024, a common result of vitamin K deficiency.

Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth
A lifesaving injection given at birth to prevent severe bleeding has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.

When a regime clearly holds the rule of law in contempt, and views itself as completely above the law, it and its agents don’t have any moral argument for the protections of the rule of law.

Christians cannot continue to use nationalistic warfare rhetoric and feed the hate-filled animosity that increasingly shapes the American socio-cultural, religious, and political landscape. When we think our fight is against flesh and blood, when this fight erases love, we've lost our way.💔

Hawai’i just passed a bill that undermine Citizens United. The bill establishes corporations as “artificial persons” without the right to spend money on elections. The bill could limit the influence of super PACs and be a model to challenge the influence of money in politics.

The DOJ is reportedly considering dropping any audits of Trump, his family, or his businesses as part of a potential settlement of his bogus lawsuit against the IRS. That’s on top of the $10 billion in damages he wants. This is corruption on steroids — and taxpayers will pay the price.

Sherlock Holmes on what might happen if humanity ever finds a way to prolong and rejuvenate our lives through some miracle drug. Reminds me of these transhumanist billionaires injecting themselves with their own kids' blood.
But it may recur. Others
may find a better way. There is danger there—a very
real danger to humanity. Consider, Watson, that the
material, the sensual, the worldly would all prolong
their worthless lives. The spiritual would not avoid
the call to something higher. It would be the survival
of the least fit. What sort of cesspool may not our
poor world become?”

One thing the internet has taught me is that many people really, really cannot read. They know word meanings and understand the thrust of a sentence, but only that: it’s like they see the individual words and extrapolate the probable meaning from whatever associations the sentence evokes for them.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

The UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is about to be thrown from office by his own party. Probably in the next 24hrs. Not because he’s in the Epstein files, but because he hired someone who was. That Trump remains President (largely unchallenged) will stain America’s global reputation for 100 years.

Not only is he right, but this used to be obvious. Shame matters big time. You can’t have a functioning public without enforcing moral standards. Forgiveness is to be available in the realm of religion and relationships, but not in matters of public leadership.
