My wife and I got engaged 5 days after we met 🤷 13 years and 2 kids later it's still the best decision I ever made (tho I do question her judgement 😂). I agree, staying open and positive was key, and being someone that someone else would want to be with!

Average evangelical experience tbh

I'm on a plane from NYC to SLC Everyone freaking out on OG's putback, what an experience. Can't believe that happened!

Neutral fan. Knicks are getting royally screwed.

Is this meant to be an argument or just a list of things you think sound weird? 😂 "Mormons make stuff up" *lists a slew of lies* Let's get into it... "Magic underwear"? That's the intellectual level we're operating at? Religious garments exist in numerous faiths. Calling them "magic underwear" isn't a refutation; it's playground mockery. "Golden plates and a seer stone." Correct. Joseph Smith claimed revelation through unusual means. Christians believe God spoke through a burning bush, a donkey, dreams, visions, angels, and a resurrected corpse. If your standard is "sounds unusual," Christianity fails before Mormonism does. "God was once a man" and "humans can become gods." You apparently don't know that deification is a historic Christian doctrine. The idea that humans can participate in divine life predates Mormonism by centuries. The disagreement is about the nature and extent of exaltation, not whether the concept exists. "Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers." This is one of the favorite anti-Mormon talking points because it sounds shocking until you think about it for ten seconds. Traditional Christianity teaches Satan is a created being who derives his existence from God. LDS theology teaches Christ is the divine Son and Satan is a fallen being. The point isn't that they're equals. They aren't. "No Trinity." Correct. Latter-day Saints reject the Nicene formulation. That's a theological disagreement, not evidence of fraud. You actually have to argue why the Nicene model is correct instead of pretending its truth is self-evident. "Total apostasy." The New Testament repeatedly warns of apostasy, false teachers, corruption, and falling away. You can disagree with the LDS interpretation, but acting as if the idea appeared from nowhere only advertises ignorance of the texts. "Kolob." The Book of Abraham doesn't say God lives on Kolob. Critics repeat this because they know most people won't check. "Humans get their own planet." Not official doctrine. Again, critics repeat it because it gets laughs. "Baptism for the dead." Paul literally mentions people being baptized for the dead in 1 Corinthians 15:29. You may reject the LDS interpretation, but the practice is rooted in a biblical text, not thin air. Every religious worldview can be made to sound absurd through hostile wording. "Christians believe in eating the body of their God - they're a cannibalistic death cult." See how easy that is?

I really dislike all the attacks on my Mormon friends on here. Mormons are some of the most Christlike people you will ever meet. They operate in charity and self sacrifice. And you know what? They put family at the core of their lives. They love children and view them as blessings from God. I know a lot of Christians who have terrible views on children and family. America has a lot of problems and I think the last possible problem is the Mormon community. I obviously disagree with their theology or else I would be Mormon. But give me a break about heresy and doctrine when there are over 40,000 different interpretations of Christianity since the Protestant reformation.

Playing hookie from EQ to watch the Jazz snag the #6 pick, why am I like this? 😂

My 5 yr old son has been having trouble with nightmares recently, it's been kind of rough, but last night he slept great and woke up at his usual time. He told me he did have a dream, that he was building a fort, when a monster attacked and broke through. He was really scared, but said I was there, and that I said a prayer to Jesus, and the monster ran away. He was super happy and said he wouldn't have any more bad dreams because Jesus is the most powerful of anyone, and I happily agreed 🥹 Jesus rules over all!

Losing in double OT on a shorty, unserious team.

RIP Chuck Norris Barrens chat will forever carry your legacy. Superman wears Chuck Norris underwear.

And this right here, what just happened in Indiana, is why making an example of the Jazz was a short-sighted decision/slippery slope. 1) Zubac returns to action from extended time off, plays heavy 1H minutes. Looks good scoring 8 PTS (4-6 FG). 2) Nembhard drops 23 PTS (!) in the 1H in just 17 mins. They both disappear at halftime, and dont play a single 2H second in what was a respectably close game for a majority of it. Pacers (a team with losing incentive) lose. Sound familiar? The franchise comms team will likely issue an injury management explanation to avoid the eye of Secaucus Sauron/refute the imminent tanking allegations. Is it possible both players got sore in the locker room/hurt in the first half? Sure, I guess. The point here is that by fining the Jazz for conduct detrimental to the league, NOT (⬅️) a Player Participation Policy violation, your games are now going to be under the microscope in the event this type of starter rotation activity occurs again. You can’t just fine one franchise and hang their reputation from a tree to scare the other citizens from replicating the same behavior. That selective enforcement is what put you in the spotlight originally, because Jaren Jackson Jr./Lauri Markkanen ended up either getting surgery or having a legitimate hip injury keeping them out for the foreseeable future. Nembhard/Zubac may end up experiencing something similar to JJJ/Markkanen, they may not, but the inconsistent enforcement WITHOUT knowing their personal medical records is reflective of a business that only steps in when the seat gets hot. The Jazz ended up winning some of those games they were so highly scrutinized for. The Pacers lost tonight. This alone does not justify penalizing the Pacers, because Micah Potter was trying to win just as much as Brice Sensabaugh was for Utah. Players dont tank. If you’re not going to fine the Pacers for this tonight, then just give the Jazz governors their $500,000 back, because this hypocrisy is what’s damaging the league reputation more than the integrity of the game.

GOOOOOOOOAL! USA! USA! USA!

Any theological paradigm that posits President Jeffrey R Holland is in hell, suffering in eternal conscious torment, is deeply evil. He was a man of God and testified of the atonement of Jesus Christ to his dying breath. We should all aspire to such greatness.

ESPN The Fan contributor Jeff Fuller joined the show to break down why the numbers made BYU's playoff case: Q: What’s been on your mind recently with BYU football? Jeff Fuller: Over the last couple seasons especially, BYU has been consistently left out of national discussion — and it’s baffling. Last year, BYU wasn’t just a bubble team; they arguably had the best resume of any bubble team. Yet they were left off graphics, barely mentioned on national podcasts, and completely ignored in playoff conversations. You’re listening to ESPN shows, Josh Pate, Ari Wasserman, Andy Staples — and it’s like BYU doesn’t exist. The attitude is, “Well, they’ll have to play their way in.” Meanwhile, they’re sitting there at 11–1. Q: And that’s where your analysis really struck a nerve. Jeff Fuller: Right. I went back and looked at every one-loss Power Conference team over the last 30 years. There has never been a one-loss Power Conference team ranked worse than No. 10 at the end of the regular season. BYU was 11–1, ranked 11th, with their only loss coming to a top-five Texas Tech team, and a strength of schedule around 30th nationally. That has never happened before. Q: You also compared that to Indiana last season. Jeff Fuller: Exactly. Indiana last year was also 11–1 and got the benefit of the doubt despite an 84th-ranked strength of schedule. BYU’s strength of schedule was roughly 30th. These are not comparable resumes — yet Indiana received more national respect. Even Boise State, a one-loss Group of Five team last year, was ranked ahead of BYU in the final CFP rankings. Q: Some fans dismiss this as a “persecution complex.” How do you respond to that? Jeff Fuller: If it happens over and over again, it’s not paranoia — it’s pattern recognition. Brett McMurphy looked at AP Poll data since 2014 and ranked the most underrated teams. BYU was No. 1. I went back 25, 50, even 75 years, and BYU consistently shows up as the most underrated program in AP Poll history. Then I ran the same analysis in college basketball — comparing preseason rankings to postseason finishes over 50 years. Same result. BYU is the most underrated program in the country. At some point, coincidence is no longer an explanation. Q: Let’s talk about the committee itself. You don’t trust it. Jeff Fuller: Not at all. If there’s going to be a committee, they need to publish what metrics matter and how much they matter. Is it strength of record? FPI? Resume? Eye test? And how are those weighted? At least with the NET rankings in basketball, we know roughly where teams are slotted. With football, BYU isn’t even on the bubble graphics despite elite objective metrics. Q: You cited Parker Fleming’s “wins above average” metric. Why is that important? Jeff Fuller: Because it’s one of the cleanest resume metrics we have. Top 10 teams by that metric? All made the playoff — except No. 5, BYU. Miami was No. 13 and got in. BYU was No. 5 and couldn’t even crack ESPN’s “first four out” graphics. That’s indefensible.

Ohio St lost and fell. BYU lost and fell. Virginia lost and fell. What happened when Alabama got dominated while racking up -3 rushing yards?

Congrats to all the teams who made the @CFBPlayoff. Many talented, deserved programs. Worth asking the question… Was the core mission & purpose of the committee to ensure the BEST teams are included upheld?

Good morning to everyone!! (except those who think an 11-1 team playing for a conference championship while others sit at home shouldn’t be in the College Football Playoff)

Why BYU should make the College Football Playoff cbssports.com/college-footba…

It is critically important you understand what @BasedMikeLee REINS act is. Any major federal rule costing ≥$100M/year needs Congress to pass a joint resolution President’s signature within 70 days, or it dies. No approval = no regulation. It’s important. Pass it.

Mandatory listening for BYU sickos. My friend wrote a song about Kalani Sitake signing with BYU. It’s incredible. He Stayed. By Chris Mitton.
