Sunday in Outer Blogness: Reporting Live Edition!
This is Chanson, reporting live (as usual) from my desk in Switzerland. But is seems like everybody else is reporting from some conference or convention or other. First of all, we have live coverage — straight from Australia — of the Global Atheist Convention! Daniel has heard fascinating talks and…
Guest post: A sheep in wolfs clothing
Mitt Romney is kicking off his 19-state book tour this week with appearances on Letterman’s “Late Show,” NBC’s “Today Show,” ABC’s “The View,” Fox’s “Sean Hannity Show” and a speech at the National Press Club in D.C. All apologies, but as speeches go, I tend to find Mitt’s to be…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Debating Reality Edition!
It looks like a large segment of the American public thinks that a couple of out-of-context quotes from some leaked emails constitute knock-out-punch evidence that global warming is a lie. How can there be so much debate over things as cut-and-dried as facts and reality??? Fortunately Outer Blogness has risen…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Another Day in the Culture Wars Edition!
Via Gen. J. C. Christian comes the plight of the right-wing parent: “I cant even sit my kids in front of ‘Sesame Street’ without having to worry about the Left attempting to undermine my authority.” While Sesame Street makes a joke about “Pox News,” Jon Stewart does a full parody…

Religions are so different, yet so full of parallels! Andrew has found his mirror image in the world of Scientology!

This week Mormons are in the news again, and not for something terribly flattering. A certain report about the US Government (particularly the CIA) torturing people hit the press, and two of the masterminds behind the torture are faithful Mormons. Noredseariver summed up the problem: “Human Rights Lawyer = Excommunicated;…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Conferences Edition!
This past week there were a lot of great discussion of the sessions of two recent LDS-interest discussion conferences: Sunstone and FAIR. In particular, I think Andrew S really nailed the key problem with Ty Mansfield’s deconstruction of gay identity: deconstruction goes all the way down. I’d be more OK…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Our Tribe Edition!
It’s time for that age-old rivalry: Red vs. Blue!! (Despite my years in Mormonism, I never had any connection with this football rivalry, but maybe some of you know something about it.) In other tribes, k wrote about some unique Mormon doctrines — and is curious about the fact that…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Happy 2012 Edition!
Warren Jeffs has decided to start off the new year for his followers on an interesting note. And, by interesting, I mean that — if you doubted that the FLDS are a danger to themselves and others — Jeffs has decided to remove all doubt. At first, it looked like…
