Posted on May 16, 2023 by Nathan

There’s Only Three Real Monsters

Posted on March 23, 2021 by Nathan

Beliebe It or Not

Posted on August 1, 2017 by Nathan

The news that Justin Bieber is thought to have canceled his tour because he found Jesus is just bizarre enough that I had to look for more information on it. Obviously Bieber isn’t someone I generally care much about. Most … Continue reading →

I Will Survive

Posted on October 18, 2016 by Nathan

It’s fascinating how many different scenarios people have come up with for the total collapse of society. I haven’t really done much research into the Preppers or Survivalists, those who stock up on provisions in their bomb shelters so they’ll … Continue reading →

The Exceptionalism That Proves the Rule

Posted on July 4, 2015 by Nathan

The phrase “American exceptionalism” has become a rather confusing one, in that it gets tossed around a lot, but it’s not entirely clear what it means. It’s sort of like “political correctness” in that respect. Does it mean general politeness … Continue reading →

Marvel with the Mormons

Posted on April 30, 2012 by Nathan

Apparently Mitt Romney referred to Paul Ryan’s budget as “marvelous,” which President Obama found to be a rather odd choice of adjective. As seen in this post, however, the word “marvelous” appears constantly in the Book of Mormon. Basically, Joseph … Continue reading →
