Mormons are Scrambling to Stop the Leaving


The Mormon "way" has always been silence and secrecy. One would think a denomination which lives off of donations from the pews would be open with those in the pews about how much money has been accumulated and what it is used for. Nope.

The denomination has always had an uphill battle using Joeseph Smith and later Brigham Young as its "holy" people. These men were assigned holy status as prophets and interpreters of what God wants and the writers of rules. The problem with these two men was they had too many wives. 

To deal with what is obviously flim flam the Mormon church has now published for the first time a folksy question and answer publication. Widely asked questions and challenges are stated and equally conversational answers are published. To me, it makes the Morom problem even worse.

The publication lists various things that are unexplainable. Like with the rest of conservative Christianity, when there is no way so support what someone once said, it was "revealed." The term "revealed" means it's a myth.

The Mormon church is building new church buildings call "Temples" in the U.S. and in countries around the world. This while their numbers are quite obviously falling. There is no explanation as to why all this building is being done. As one pundit said, it is apparently as effort to look as if it is an expanding and continually growing institution. What else is it going to do with a hundred billion dollars?

That Salt Lake City, the mother city of the Mormon faith, is now less than 50% Mormon is a signal things are not going well.

Ancient God, Bel (Baal), the Main Character in an Ancient Play

Image
In a British museum is a preserved stone tablet from Babylon. It dates to about 2,000 BCE. Someone labored patiently to inscribe an entire passion play featuring the god Bel. I reiterate this is a stone tablet, not a recopied papyrus. The play begins with the god Bel arrested by soldiers and taken off the stage. He reappears at a trial in the Hall of Judgement. Bel is innocent but is sentenced to death. In the next scene Bel is accosted by a mob. He is despised and rejected. The actor playing Bel is then taken by guard to a hilltop in a sacred grove. Two criminals are taken with him. One of these is released. The the audience then leaves the theater and follows the actor Bel and his guards to the top of a hill where the death scene is enacted by hanging from a tree. The audience returns to the theater for the dramatic final scenes. The dead Bel is stripped and prepared for burial. On a theatrical hill to the side of the stage is a tomb where the body is placed. A stone is rolle...

Time to Forget the Christian Nation Thing

Image
While women are forbidden from being priests/preachers in some branches of Christianity thank goodness they are not forbidden from writing and lecturing about Christianity. A great article about the "Christian nation" notion shows us the U.S. is not a Christian nation and hopefully never will be. It is written by a woman with nerve and was published on a very Christian site, Christian Post.  Among the pilgrims were a few that wanted to establish a utopian Christian society. Some of their brethren stayed behind in Europe hoping the push aside worldly forces there and bring sinners to God. Today, whether it is the anti abortion, anti gay/trans, anti immigration or the put prayer back in schools branch there are those who want a version of what some pilgrims wanted, a utopian Christian society. The pilgrims were disappointed. Today's Christian utopians will be also. Here is why. The children of pilgrims did not believe the same things as their parents. Parents were roundly d...

Who Suffers from a "Hardened Heart"

Image
Some years ago on this blog there was a discussion about what the Bible calls "The hardened heart." The "hardened heart" was the explanation given for why people like me cannot accept the tenets of Christianity. We are unable to believe there are floating spirits and gods or imaginary places people go when the die. Now, a prominent Christian preacher and author has given us a way to diagnose the "hardened heart." It contained some surprises.  Rev. John Piper, who spoke about the hardened heart, said we can see this in a person who lacks "ordinary tenderness and compassion." He went on to describe the characteristics of a person without the affliction of the hardened heart. A healthy person displays empathy and sympathy. Those with the hardened heart are like stone. Jesus wanted compassion for the poor. The hardened heart discussion referred to atheists only if they are sinners and then it was indirectly. Sin, Piper said, hardens one's heart a...
