Sunday in Outer Blogness: Latter days edition!

chanson, February 12, 2017

As if our biosphere weren’t in enough trouble last year, having an incompetent clown waving nuclear threats around for all to use as they see fit isn’t a step in the right direction. Oh, and there’s a chunk of ice the size of Delaware about to slide into the ocean to melt. Can we Save Our Species? I hope so. Is it just me, or have others out there gone through all five stages of grief lately?

Well, that’s not a fun opening, I guess. Let’s get back to everyone’s favorite diversion! Has the CoJCoL-dS done anything interesting lately? Or sexy. Not really, but the Book of Mormon is always there for a few laughs.

The BYU rape discussion continues, as well as discussion of the church’s political neutrality, belief boundaries, commandments vs. social norms, and the wayback machine offers some surprises as well!

Here’s hoping things are better next week!!!
