a service only atheists & blasphemers can provide

profxm, August 27, 2009

Leave it to atheists to consider the pets post-rapture. Apparently a group of atheists have put together a service for “heaven-bound” Christians to care for their “Eternal Earth-Bound Pets” should the rapture occur. Maybe we should contact the owners of the domain to see if they have made any money…

how NOT to get out of church

profxm, July 28, 2009October 20, 2010

I wasn’t always a fan of church, but I always went. But apparently this boy really didn’t like church. It doesn’t say if he was avoiding a Mormon church or some other service, but it was in Utah. Still pretty funny! 😉

The Tragic Consequences of Legalized Gay Marriage

chanson, June 30, 2009January 15, 2011

Yesterday we saw how the GLBT community in SLC has grown stronger in the face of adversity. Well, in today’s news item, we see what has become of Massachusetts. It’s a Mormon’s nightmare of a society, told in the words of “Mike Henkle, a devout Mormon from Provo, Utah”: Beth…

Daily Universe FAIL

chanson, April 7, 2009January 15, 2011

Oops, looks like BYU’s Daily Universe made a little boo-boo in the caption, upgrading the Quorum of the twelve to “apostate” status. Hat tip Miguel. BYU News Net explains the error here.

great advice, but cover your ears

profxm, March 19, 2009October 20, 2010

I was chatting with a colleague the other day about a book I reviewed for an academic journal when Lewis R. Rambo’s name came up (one of the books drew rather heavily on some of his research).  As soon as Dr. Rambo’s name came up, my colleague told me he…

LOL Nacklz!

chanson, January 6, 2009January 15, 2011

It looks as though — now that Snarkernacle has fizzled out — a new mocking-the-Bloggernacle-themed blog has popped up to pick up the slack (which I found through the comments of this post)! Complete with LOL catz! I probably shouldn’t admit to reading this sort of thing (since gawking and…

latent Mormon sexuality

profxm, November 27, 2008October 20, 2010

So, I’m wading through my inbox the other day when I get an email from a friend I haven’t heard from in quite a while. He knows I’m no longer LDS and that I have a sense of humor. So, he forwards me the following email: My co-worker, ******* (name…

Proposed Mormon Books!

chanson, November 21, 2008October 20, 2010

Read Twilight. Seriously, do it if you haven’t. Because when it comes to entertainment on the Internet, there’s not much out there that can beat Mormon discussions of Twilight. That’s why I read it (explained in the comments here), and I don’t regret a single page. (And with the movie…

Sartre’s Spirit World

Hellmut, October 15, 2008October 15, 2008

Wry Catcher’s question whether the notion of spirit world addiction reminded me of Jean Paul Sartre’s Les Jeux Sont Faits, which is particularly interesting to Mormons because Sartre’s description of the afterlife happens to coincide with commonly held notions of the spirit world. Les Jeux Sont Faits is a wonderful…
