"When I was young, I believed that life might unfold in an orderly way, according to my hopes and expectations. But now I understand that the Way winds like a river, always changing, ever onward… My journeys revealed that the Way itself creates the warrior; that every path leads to peace, every choice to wisdom. And that life has always been, and will always be, arising in Mystery." Socrates.

Belial Spirit 68, Ag A strange green hue is noted surrounding the first of Belial suggesting radiation. I feel that this entity is dead and another has taken the place of Belial. The technology associated with Belial is alien or "angelic". A tone as per S-7 is similar to that of LUCIFER although comfortable. It is possible that a human like version of Belial now exists. Belial is said to be a king among spirits and was created next after LUCIFER. He governs 50 legions of spirit. -Aaron C. Hanson.

Predictions for 2014 and Beyond Here are key points of light or predictions that if true, will prove to show an impact. 1. Presently, I am seeing the rising possibility of India’s Narendra Modi to win a national election. 2. For the first time in America’s history, a woman will likely meet the long awaited challenge to effectively campaign for the position of either a Vice President or President concerning any party. I also believe that a voter based push against supporters of the Affordable Care Act prior to the national elections in 2016 will to some extent distort the views and expectations of the Republican Party. Success for any Republican Presidential Candidate in 2016 will largely depend upon the ability to effectively project acceptance without judgment. This means that “hatred” in the usual form of religiosity must no longer indiscreetly involve political platforms.* 3. As it has been since 2008, America will continue to fall further away from the promise of faith, belief, and extraordinary discovery. In essence, it will remain spiritually recalcitrant. Unexplained sightings, altered states, and other phenomena that normally provoke the imagination toward personal mythology, ritual, and creativity will wane throughout the world as it continues to look woefully upon a spiritually void, arrogant, and paternalist spoof that represents the current Administration of President Obama. Positively, I see this year as a period of transition for those crystal wielding kooks jammed within the embarrassing past trend of alternative healing non-sense, spoon bending, alien sexual abduction, psychic drum circles, and cosmic consciousness (laugh). It should also be known that reason is limited. This being said, I welcome the paradigm before us that will address the very real possibility of human extinction (see global warming). Just as it has been said that every man in a war ravaged trench will become a believer in some form of spirituality, I am saying that when a majority eventually accepts the possibility of their own extinction, a very serious form of spirituality will emerge. Should this be improperly managed, the era of reason will then be overcome. 4. Healthy youthful participation in the American Affordable Care Act will permanently fall short of requirements ensuring something less affordable and most impractical for the majority. Other plans will likely be suggested as the alternative to a wide range of failures. Many will reject any further change favoring the extreme difficulty of repeal. 5. A wide range of weather related problems will continue throughout the world suggesting that global warming is more than a serious threat. Unexpected changes will in turn influence political outcomes for 2016 and beyond. 6. Oil production in countries like the United States further isolates Israel as a front for influence within the oil rich region following WWII. Religious support wanes regardless of the underlying truth. 7. Do not fool yourself, Iran will eventually secure the technology to make an atomic bomb. 8. In Russia, the Olympics will be successful thanks to President Putin’s extreme effort to gain intelligence upon existing terrorist opportunities. Although the games are secure, planned activities may be found elsewhere. 9. Afghanistan and Iraq will remain lost to western interests. War in an overpopulated world of dwindling resources is easy to predict although nothing out of the ordinary is likely to emerge out of the year. There remains the danger of an Israeli strike or various strikes secondary to its own interests of security but this too is nothing out of the ordinary. 10. The economy for the United States will remain somewhat disappointing for those expecting a robust return in job numbers. Many will remain out of work and if anything is found, less income should be expected for the year 2014 and beyond. 11. As I have stated earlier in January, this year promises to be a difficult year for infectious disease throughout the world. Always get vaccinated when appropriate and remember that your finger nails are very much like inoculation needles carrying disease. Keep them short and never touch anything on your face without washing first. *Notice that I do not specify Hillary Clinton as President. This does not suggest that she will or will not meet the challenge as suggested but rather, a plan by the Republican Party might include a woman running mate or lead for President. Should a conservative woman run alongside of someone moderate like Mitt Romney, a victory is assured. At this moment a bid from someone like Hillary will largely depend upon the choices that Republicans make for the office at hand. A strong quietly pro-choice woman candidate on the side of the Republican Party would effectively fix any public comparison against Hillary during the primary, if she makes it that far.

Over at Dan Peterson's facebook page (fired FAIR/FARMS etc director) there seems to be a flurry of activity in reaction to some of the church's pronouncements about race. The first is your stock dog whistle racism of the right. The second equates Obama with Nazi Euthanasia. Not being Mormon and only recently a resident of this state I am amazed that a religious leader and professor at an institution of higher learning could post this crap. I am also surprised that others in Utah aren't upset. The reaction I am getting is Meh..get over it or this is Utah. So racist or not racist? Think angry Dan is angry about changes coming from the church?

I am thankful to be accepted onto this page. My name is Byron Rangiwai, and I come from the islands of Aotearoa New Zealand. I served a mission for the church (well a sister's mission really lol 1.5 years), but was excommunicated by the Mission President and sent home. I have been excommunicated for over ten years. I have a very broad theology which is inclusive of all sorts of spiritual knowledge incorporating indigenous, Maori (Native New Zealander), LDS, and Anglican (Episcopal) perspectives. I am so happy to find others who think broadly as well and seek further light and knowledge.

Jonathan Brown Sorry to hear of your troubles Erik Kulick we of course at the Society for Humanistic Mormonism support you 110%. What went on here went against your human dignity and just basic human rights. This is one of the reasons why the LDS Church's policy against those that do not fit in to a cookie cutter Mormon life style should end. It goes against compassion and human kindness, not to mention reason.

All Society members should not only deepen their knowledge but also to broaden it.

The increase in learning will result in increased satisfaction and happiness for each individual that takes this route.

James Edward Nickels Jr Faith should always be tentative and based on an observation of facts as currently shown. If these facts change, faith must be reevaluated in leu of the new material. To have faith in something science or reason has shown to be wrong is total idiocy! Unfortunately, we have quite a number of idiots living today. They should be pitied and not hated.

Alan Hunter I agree, for the most part, with Maher's statements about religion, but I think he is quite wrong about faith.
For example I have faith that humanity can find a way to live in peace and love, but the turning of Jesus' teachings into a religion based upon worshiping a fantasy birth and resurection is not the way to achieve it.

Brigham Young Sunday School Manual:
In the Church’s Sunday School manual, Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young, the Church changed the word “wives” to “[wife]”.
Not only is the manual deceptive in disclosing whether or not Brigham Young was a polygamist but it’s deceptive in hiding Brigham Young’s real teaching on marriage: "The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy." – Journal of Discourses 11:269

Todd Barcodious Eckenfelder @Jonathan.....yes, indeed Joseph Smith did say some very "racist" language, using our current (2013) ear as a barometer -however, my point is he was far more progressive at the time than his successor was -and, one of the most progressive prominent white thinkers in the country at the time, on race, socio-economics, and education. My comment was not so much to suggest everything Joseph said was correct, simply that it is interesting and sad, the church took a step backwards at that time, and negatively influenced generations of members, and non-members.

Tithing: I find the following quote in the December 2012 Ensign very disturbing:
“If paying tithing means that you can’t pay for water or electricity, pay tithing. If paying tithing means that you can’t pay your rent, pay tithing. Even if paying tithing means that you don’t have enough money to feed your family, pay tithing. The Lord will not abandon you.”
Would a loving, kind, empathic God really place parents in the horrible position of having to choose whether to feed their children or pay what little they have to a multi-billion megamall owning Church that receives an estimated $8,000,000,000 in annual tithing receipts?

Bart Tippetts
Christian humanism has its roots in the traditional teaching that humans are made in the image of God, or in Latin the Imago Dei, which enhances individual worth and personal dignity. This found strong biblical expression in the Judeo-Christian attention to righteousness and social justice. Its linkage to more secular philosophical humanism can be traced to the 2nd-century, writings of Justin Martyr, an early theologian-apologist of the early Christian Church. While far from radical, Justin suggested a value in the achievements of classical culture in his Apology.[2] Influential letters by Cappadocian Fathers, namely Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nyssa, confirmed the commitment to using preexisting secular knowledge, particularly as it touched the material world.

The Emperor Julian (aka "the apostate), nephew of Constantine the "Great." After Constantine and his successor, Constans established Christianity as the state religion of the Roman Empire, Julian, Constans' successor, tried to take it back to Paganism. Julian was a philosopher and so his Paganism was a much more enlightened Paganism in the Greek fashion. He ruled for 2 years and was killed in battle with the Persians. Actually, he was killed by one of his own soldiers who was Christian who took the opportunity of battle to stab him in the back.

"When I was young, I believed that life might unfold in an orderly way, according to my hopes and expectations. But now I understand that the Way winds like a river, always changing, ever onward… My journeys revealed that the Way itself creates the warrior; that every path leads to peace, every choice to wisdom. And that life has always been, and will always be, arising in Mystery." Socrates.

The podcast of the audio from my first recorded cross-dressed religious service is up! The LDS church decided to assault, excommunicate, and ban me from all church property as a result of these visits.

Belial Spirit 68, Ag A strange green hue is noted surrounding the first of Belial suggesting radiation. I feel that this entity is dead and another has taken the place of Belial. The technology associated with Belial is alien or "angelic". A tone as per S-7 is similar to that of LUCIFER although comfortable. It is possible that a human like version of Belial now exists. Belial is said to be a king among spirits and was created next after LUCIFER. He governs 50 legions of spirit. -Aaron C. Hanson.

Predictions for 2014 and Beyond Here are key points of light or predictions that if true, will prove to show an impact. 1. Presently, I am seeing the rising possibility of India’s Narendra Modi to win a national election. 2. For the first time in America’s history, a woman will likely meet the long awaited challenge to effectively campaign for the position of either a Vice President or President concerning any party. I also believe that a voter based push against supporters of the Affordable Care Act prior to the national elections in 2016 will to some extent distort the views and expectations of the Republican Party. Success for any Republican Presidential Candidate in 2016 will largely depend upon the ability to effectively project acceptance without judgment. This means that “hatred” in the usual form of religiosity must no longer indiscreetly involve political platforms.* 3. As it has been since 2008, America will continue to fall further away from the promise of faith, belief, and extraordinary discovery. In essence, it will remain spiritually recalcitrant. Unexplained sightings, altered states, and other phenomena that normally provoke the imagination toward personal mythology, ritual, and creativity will wane throughout the world as it continues to look woefully upon a spiritually void, arrogant, and paternalist spoof that represents the current Administration of President Obama. Positively, I see this year as a period of transition for those crystal wielding kooks jammed within the embarrassing past trend of alternative healing non-sense, spoon bending, alien sexual abduction, psychic drum circles, and cosmic consciousness (laugh). It should also be known that reason is limited. This being said, I welcome the paradigm before us that will address the very real possibility of human extinction (see global warming). Just as it has been said that every man in a war ravaged trench will become a believer in some form of spirituality, I am saying that when a majority eventually accepts the possibility of their own extinction, a very serious form of spirituality will emerge. Should this be improperly managed, the era of reason will then be overcome. 4. Healthy youthful participation in the American Affordable Care Act will permanently fall short of requirements ensuring something less affordable and most impractical for the majority. Other plans will likely be suggested as the alternative to a wide range of failures. Many will reject any further change favoring the extreme difficulty of repeal. 5. A wide range of weather related problems will continue throughout the world suggesting that global warming is more than a serious threat. Unexpected changes will in turn influence political outcomes for 2016 and beyond. 6. Oil production in countries like the United States further isolates Israel as a front for influence within the oil rich region following WWII. Religious support wanes regardless of the underlying truth. 7. Do not fool yourself, Iran will eventually secure the technology to make an atomic bomb. 8. In Russia, the Olympics will be successful thanks to President Putin’s extreme effort to gain intelligence upon existing terrorist opportunities. Although the games are secure, planned activities may be found elsewhere. 9. Afghanistan and Iraq will remain lost to western interests. War in an overpopulated world of dwindling resources is easy to predict although nothing out of the ordinary is likely to emerge out of the year. There remains the danger of an Israeli strike or various strikes secondary to its own interests of security but this too is nothing out of the ordinary. 10. The economy for the United States will remain somewhat disappointing for those expecting a robust return in job numbers. Many will remain out of work and if anything is found, less income should be expected for the year 2014 and beyond. 11. As I have stated earlier in January, this year promises to be a difficult year for infectious disease throughout the world. Always get vaccinated when appropriate and remember that your finger nails are very much like inoculation needles carrying disease. Keep them short and never touch anything on your face without washing first. *Notice that I do not specify Hillary Clinton as President. This does not suggest that she will or will not meet the challenge as suggested but rather, a plan by the Republican Party might include a woman running mate or lead for President. Should a conservative woman run alongside of someone moderate like Mitt Romney, a victory is assured. At this moment a bid from someone like Hillary will largely depend upon the choices that Republicans make for the office at hand. A strong quietly pro-choice woman candidate on the side of the Republican Party would effectively fix any public comparison against Hillary during the primary, if she makes it that far.

Over at Dan Peterson's facebook page (fired FAIR/FARMS etc director) there seems to be a flurry of activity in reaction to some of the church's pronouncements about race. The first is your stock dog whistle racism of the right. The second equates Obama with Nazi Euthanasia. Not being Mormon and only recently a resident of this state I am amazed that a religious leader and professor at an institution of higher learning could post this crap. I am also surprised that others in Utah aren't upset. The reaction I am getting is Meh..get over it or this is Utah. So racist or not racist? Think angry Dan is angry about changes coming from the church?

A U.S. District Court judge has sided with the polgyamous Brown family, ruling that key parts of Utah’s polygamy laws are unconstitutional. Judge Clark Waddoups’ 91-page ruling, issued Friday, sets a new legal precedent in Utah, effectively decriminalizing polygamy. It is the latest development in a...

Servanne Illien This judge certainly has a vague idea of what fairness means since he has overlooked all the damage that polygamy causes to women and children and the unfairness of the whole system.

Meanwhile prayer continues not to work this was the single link for which someone found offense, I suggested that we should be focusing on a scientific cure, not praying, for that is the most compassionate and rational thing to do, for merely suggesting that I am now called a "miliant atheist" : http://ffrf.org/about/getting-acquainted/item/12869-biggest-study-prayer-harmful-to-patients
