If you say a prayer (sort of) to find an important lost object and it works, is that evidence of divine intervention? On a related note, the exmo reddit is crowing about how they predicted the big revelation from conference. And now the LDS blogosphere is all abuzz with analysis…
Mormon Moment Series on poetrysansonions.blogspot.com
Ahhhhh! The smell of fresh, juicy, slightly wrong Mormon blog posts. It must be Sunday! I have been doing a series of posts related to Mormon and Post-Mormon issues that seem to be *hot* this year. With more and more people interested in Mormons, and now the change in rules…
big “revelation” after all
chanson noted the rumors about a big “revelation” at conference this year. Turns out they weren’t entirely unfounded: Thomas Monson just dropped the age for missionary service for men to 18 from 19, and for women to 19 from 21. Now, I wouldn’t go so far as to argue that…
Mitt Romney’s secret double life – porn actor and pederast
A parody porn company has made a porno featuring a Mitt Romney look alike. The set up is that there is a secret secret order in the Mormon Church called Videntium Oraculi, or the True Order of the Priesthood, that practices ordination by insemination.” I didn’t watch it, but someone…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Secret and Sacred Edition!
Let’s start this week’s theme off right with a story in which an attractive woman sticks her finger up Kuri’s butt. In other secret/sacred body news, an obsessive focus on which body parts women cover or show is not a good way avoid reducing women to objects. And it’s getting…
counter fast against Romney
Apparently there is an unofficial movement in the LDS Church to fast for Mitt Romney on September 30th so he’ll do well in the debates against Obama. While I’m inclined to think that Mitt actually coming up with some solid positions may help him more, I think it would be…
Seeing the box you’re in: “The Collapse of Belief” by Kurt and Barbara Hanks
Think outside the box! It’s easy to say, but hard to do. The trouble is that it’s difficult to identify the beliefs and assumptions that box you in. Our view of the world is built on so many assumptions that it’s impossible to be aware of (let alone question) all…

So, Mitt Romney released his 2011 tax return. The newspapers report that Mitt and Ann Romney engineered their tax return to show that he paid 14.1% of his income in taxes. The primary mechanism employed to engineer their tax return, according to the press reports, was to not claim all…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Brilliant Strategies Edition!
Wow, the Mormon Moment hit a couple of big snags this past week!! First off, despite all of the media attention focused on Mormonism, the CoJCoL-dS simply can’t resist excommunicating people. So guess what is all over the news? Mormon with outspoken blog posts on church says may face excommunication!…
Mormons love pseudo prostitution?
City Weekly SLC has a great story on the sugar daddy phenomenon and how popular it is in Utah. While Utah isn’t #1 in most categories, it ranks in the top 20 on several. Interestingly, lots of the sugar babies are Mormon – 71% of the users in Utah are…
