Escape Velocity
No, this is not a post about physics. At least not entirely. Escape velocity is a term that describes the speed and momentum necessary for any object to escape the gravitational pull of the earth (or whatever planetary system on which it sits). But...
My New Book
For the past, well, forever, I’ve wanted to write a book. I’ve got several book concepts I’ve tossed around, all of which get me excited, and each of which I’ve always viewed as independent of each other. Last week, during one fateful conve...

Our power to overcome
This post is part of an ongoing series “What’s in the Book of Mormon”, to provide a taste of this sacred record. It is not meant to be a substitute for reading the Book of Mormon itself, however (you can get a free copy here). 1st Nephi in The...
Sacrifice is hard
Now that I’m officially unemployed, our family is having to make sacrifices. I’ve never not had a job, let alone been let go involuntarily. And for most the lives of my 6 terrific kids, I’ve had not just any job, but terrific, wel...
Behold not the filthiness
Earlier, I’d posted “A quest for spiritual knowledge”, wherein I talked about Lehi’s grand vision of the tree of life. Still studying my way through that section of 1 Nephi in the Book of Mormon, today I stumbled accross the ...

Dear Cousins,
Please accept the god we trust in and you too will share in these advantages of our culture:
1.Eliminating God from government and replacing Him with any god you may choose will conform to our “In any gods we trust” motto.
2. M.D.’s (murdering doctors) will kill your unwanted babies as they struggle to wiggle their way into the arms of parents that don’t want them.
3. The aged, disabled and unproductive will be given the option of a dignified death by the same M.D.’s that have said an oath of preserving life.
4. Homosexuals and perverts (sexual predators) will be able to marry and adopt children that will propagate the their abnormal lifestyles. Whatever happened to common sense?
5. Weekend marriages (married on Fri and divorced on Mon) will become the new rage.
6. Legalizing prostitution will eliminate the curse of immorality and adultery.
7. The underprivileged minorities will gamble their last dinar and the ruling class will pay fewer taxes because of their squandering of money and addiction to chance.
8. We will install our “dumbing-down” Department of Education so that the elite will continue to have control and authority over lower class repressed students.
9. Pornography will be very available in every form on the pretence that this will prevent “acting out” acts of sexual offences.
10. Our capitalistic corporate leaders will teach you how to rip off millions from fellow citizens and only have small and insignificant penalties to pay without complete restitution.
11. We will export our profitable prison industry as we have become the number one nation in the world expanding industry profits from incarcerating the most number of prisoners.
12. And we will show you how you too can merchandise “Kentucky Fried Christianity” as we have so that you too will never have to be accountable to God for the 10 Commandments our country was founded on.
Judge Roy Moore told me that the question our country needs to resolve is,
“Can the State acknowledge God?”
Upon that answer, our future as a nation “under God” rests.
We the ungodly people of Amerika do strongly encourage you to accept our superior culture or we will blow your country to dust, except the oil fields of course!
Signed:
The Godless people of Amerika

PS My natural father was blown to bits in WWII defending the Judeo-Christian values of America that have been trampled on. Now, all I have left is a purple heart and the flag that draped his casket. And all America has is a country without God. This article is written in memory of my Dad.
