God the Monster
This summer, when I posted on X about my lifelong conviction that the god of Mormonism is a moral monster, someone told me, very helpfully and completely accurately, that I would love God’s Monsters by Esther Hamori. God’s Monsters is the first work of religious scholarship that has made me…
Link bomb #2
A new year, a new link bomb. (This is my second link bomb here, but the 14th in all. You can read the previous installments here, at the USU SHAFT blog.)

But when it comes to gays, suddenly celibacy is supposed to work.
The Youtube link is broken.
word on another site is that the 1Million anti-P8 yard signs were ordered from CHINA (non-union, Thank You) have been delayed.
too bad.
Sorry about the trouble, Kullervo. And thanks for the heads up.
I just played the movie successfully. Jonathan’s link worked as well. May be, it was a temporary glitch at the server or with youtube.
