I live in relative opulence.
Others live abject poverty.
I always have plenty to eat, a comfortable bed, a washing machine and dishwasher, and hot water for bathing.
Others have nothing to eat, sleep on the ground, never wash their […]

God Has Faith in Himself

Posted by Connor on May 8th, 2007

Is there a being who has faith in himself, independently?
There is.
Who is it?
It is God. (Lectures on Faith, p. 23)
God has faith in Himself.
It makes sense… We know that his honor is his power, and so in knowing that he is honored by those beneath him in glory and power, he inherently has […]

Media Blacklisting Ron Paul

Posted by Connor on May 7th, 2007

Want further evidence that the mainstream media has its own agenda? That indeed, they may be labeled as conspiratorial?
Ron Paul clearly won last week’s Republican Candidate debate. The post-debate polls showed him as the winner in every category.
But the mainstream media blacklisted him.
In declaring the “winner”, mainstream media organizations are leaving Paul’s name […]

A Member

As Latter-day Saints baptized into the Church, we often refer to ourselves as “members” of the church. Taken in this context, a member is defined as an individual belonging to an organization.
However, this label takes on additional meaning in light of one of Paul’s teachings. When discussing the dissemination of spiritual […]

Rocky vs. Hannity

Posted by Connor on May 4th, 2007

Tonight I watched the debate (or as FOX 13 termed it, the “smackdown”) between Sean Hannity and Rocky Anderson. It was two hours of heated debate (if you can call it that) and partisan bickery.
The entire thing smacked of double standards. It was nothing more than putrid partisanship and personal insults.
Luckily, I didn’t […]

Are We Slaves?

In the representative system, the reason for everything must publicly appear. Every man is a proprietor in government, and considers it a necessary part of his business to understand. It concerns his interest, because it affects his property. He examines the cost, and compares it with the advantages; and above all, he does […]

The Mormons, Part Two

Posted by Connor on May 2nd, 2007

The second and final segment of PBS’ “The Mormons” which aired last night was, in my opinion, far better than the first. I was pleasantly surprised to observe the various topics covered in the two hour program, such as missionary work, family history, temple activity, and family unity.
The segment was not without […]

The Mormons, Part One

Posted by Connor on May 1st, 2007

Last night was part one of PBS’ mini-series titled “The Mormons“. The documentary’s producer, Helen Whitney, previously claimed that her work would “shatter stereotypes”.
Having watched the first of two segments last night, I firmly believe that it will only serve to strengthen and solidify previously held stereotypes. Sure, the uninformed viewer might have learned […]
