What Kind of God Would You Be?
A lot of Christians, Muslims, and other people of faith probably think it’s blasphemy to even ask such a question. Yet I suspect most Mormons have thought about this at least a little bit at one time or another. 😉 Tom Foss of Dubito Ergo Sum has come up with…
Utah goes blue?
