All biases are sincere. Otherwise they would not be biases. And it is not lazy to question bias, particularly when the message is full of normative evaluations. In fact, it is then essential.

So here are my questions:
Why spend the hefty amount? What does this do for the church? The church's money spent should be guided by its 3 oh I mean 4 folded mission (perfect the saints, proclaim the gospel, redeem the dead & Care for the poor and Needy). Under what part of the mission does this 35 million purchase fall? Does this get put in a museum or does this go to storage? Was the high amount done with a wink so when they are ready to sell some land holdings the church has interest in they are on good terms?"Be a philosopher. A man can compromise to gain a point.

Isn't it clear that this is a goodwill measure taken by the church to help out its step sister? There's no way the transcript is worth anywhere near $35MM, so there's an additional motive. I choose to assume that this is a down payment for the Kirtland Temple and a right of first refusal on the COC's parking spaces in Independence during the Second Coming.

It looks like the funds will essentially be applied to the CoC's $115 million(!) unfunded pension liability.Originally posted by Commando View Post

I don't mean this as an intentional jab at the LDS church, but that sort of transparency is pretty refreshing.Originally posted by Joe Public View PostJesus wants me for a sunbeam.

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

It is a loaded term and does not simply refer to money.wealth regarded as an evil influence or false object of worship and devotion. It was taken by medieval writers as the name of the devil of covetousness, and revived in this sense by Milton."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?

I'm actually on Creek's side in that instance. But after his exhaustive reply, I wanted to jerk his chain a little.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post
