One Way to Read It

A seminary teacher told me that this scripture on using animals for food— "And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be a used , only in times of winter, or of cold, or b famine ." —had a misplaced comma, and should read: "And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used only in times of winter, or of cold, or of famine." This minor change kind of undermines the need for having that scripture. And also conflicts with the previous verse which dictates that meats are to be "used sparingly." Other teachers have said that this verse says this because that's how people ate meat in Joseph Smith's day, but that advances in refrigeration and processing have made this obsolete. These men are taking great authority unto themselves by voiding scripture. Not only people in Joseph Smith's day, but our own ancestors stretching back through the millennia have eaten this way. Which means we, too, are genetically adapted to eat this way. That w...

This anti-abortion commercial was rejected from the Superbowl lineup, but is worth a view. I voted mostly Democrat this election, and am very happy that Obama is president. And even though I pray that he will make the right decisions, I feel it is necessary to oppose any of his decisions that I do not agree with. One such decision is his support for a new abortion law . Abortion simply should not be a part of politics. It has polarized our society into two groups, both which think the other is wrong. Our government was never meant to mandate personal choice on such a level. Each party may claim divine support for enforcing their idea of righteousness, but inasmuch as they mandate righteousness they rule with the devil's methods. My friend posted this article by a lawyer who refuses to be bullied into supporting our president . I think that she is mostly right. We should be willing to disagree and oppose the president if what he decides conflicts with our values. But we must...

Huntsman said : We hold dear the things that give us a sense of humanity - our land, our air and our water - and recognize the role they play in our peace of mind and spirit, as well as our economy. If we are going to take air quality seriously, which we must for the sake of the next generation, we must be bold; we must be visionary. Our aspirations should be nothing short of extraordinary. And there are two goals that we should immediately set our sights on. Utah Air Quality First, just as Wall Street is known for finance and Silicone Valley for technology, by 2012, I believe Utah can become the premier destination in America for renewable energy ! And don't tell me it can't be done! In just this past year alone, we have witnessed in Utah the opening of a solar farm, a hydroelectric plant, a wind farm and a geothermal plant . To support this energy development, innovation at our higher education campuses is running at an all-time high, like technologies that will ensure the ...

A great communicator and unifying figure. 7:32 long. Obama speaks from about 1:30 to 4:30. Reza Aslan speaks at about 6:00. He's amazing. Interesting that America was respected for being the only Western power without a colonial past. Reza: "He's setting himself up as a bridge between the West and the Middle East. . . .I'm sure that . . . . Bin Laden [is] scrambling to answer this comment. When the President of the U.S. says 'my family is Muslim,' how do you respond to that?"

Carl Sagan describes what it would be like to see a being from another dimension. 7 minutes, but interesting. Compare to: Joseph Smith's vision of an angel —A fourth dimensional being appears in the third dimension. Paul's vision of the third heaven —A third dimensional person is lifted into the fourth dimension. "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence ."

Obama has a goal to be our most accessible president. To accomplish this: He had an open house on his inauguration that anyone could come to. He is making weekly addresses to the nation. Download the Recovery Plan Metrics Report His new website, whitehouse.gov, has a way to send a message to the White House . And easy access to his appointees and the executive orders he has made. In the spirit of openness and honesty, he signed his first executive order to make available presidential records that the previous administration had made secret . His other executive orders: His second executive order is to limit corruption between lobbyists and the executive branch. His third E.O. shut down Guantanamo Bay. (It will take 1 year) Notable sentence: " The individuals currently detained at Guantánamo have the constitutional privilege of the writ of habeas corpus ." ( I argued earlier that many of the rights guaranteed by the constitution are given by God. They belong to all pe...
