The blurring of the distinctions between male and female and man and machine are both simply the latest consequences of an anti-teleological philosophy of nature that has deceptively cloaked itself in the mantle of science since early modernity. More here: https://t.co/I6lGj9EOiE
The Israeli army has ordered more than 400 Palestinian families to evacuate their homes in Hebron, leaving thousands of people stranded in the streets with nowhere to go.
The Greek Orthodox Church in the Christian town of Taybeh in the West Bank rang its bells at 9:00 p.m. today for the souls of the victims of the terrorist attack at St. George’s Church in Hamoud, Al-Karak, Jordan.
The bells will ring again tomorrow at noon.
That sophistry is, of course, a non-answer, and does nothing except make you look evasive and afraid to take a stand for your beliefs.
So, again: If you believe the Book of Mormon is the word of God, how do you reconcile the fact that your Church has officially repudiated as false the Book of Mormon claim that God cursed some people with dark skin?

@TheGermanicist@Burgess7281975 It’s a simple question. You said you believe the Book of Mormon is the word of God. How can it be the word of God when it contains a doctrine (cursing with dark skin) that your Church has officially repudiated as false and racist? https://t.co/YhoVF5JLiq
@TheGermanicist@Burgess7281975 How can the Book of Mormon be the word of God when it clearly and repeatedly teaches the doctrine that God cursed certain people by giving them dark skin, something the Mormon Church now condemns as racist and officially repudiates as false? https://t.co/YhoVF5JLiq
@uxixu@a1261057 I’m not saying that people can’t be curious, and it’s human nature that they’ll discuss it, but neither negates the fact that it’s between the bishop and the priest and is thus none of your or any else’s business. That’s a fact.
@ThxTom90228 Fair enough. I’m not here to defend or prosecute any of those issues, mainly because I don’t follow his work and am generally unfamiliar with what he has to say. I’m reacting to the furor that has arisen in the wake of the Archbishop’s request and Fr. Ripperger’s response.
That’s a real imbalance, indeed, and it causes its own set of problems, including contributing to the sense that silencing and censorship are reserved solely for traditional, conservative Catholics and never applied to Martin and those like him. But the episcopal failure to be fair and evenhanded doesn’t negate, or even matter, insofar as Fr. R. doing the right thing is concerned.
