Eve’s Sisters
One day it hit me that we talk so often about Abraham, Jacob, Paul, and Nephi but rarely ever do we talk about the women of the scriptures, all of whom I see as Eve’s sisters. Consequently, I decided to create a blog that focused on some comparisons and parallels between their lives and ours. It’s amazing what Eve, Bathsheba, Esther, Hannah, and Elisabeth can teach us if we’ll only slow down and take heed.
The Mormon Church

BCC has a preview on next month’s Ensign and it sounds interesting.
“The human mind has presumed to determine when “meaningful life” begins. In the course of my studies as a medical doctor, I learned that a new life begins when two special cells unite to become one cell, bringing together 23 chromosomes from the father and 23 from the mother. . . To legislate when a developing life is considered “meaningful” is presumptive and quite arbitrary, in my opinion.”
Elder Russell M. Nelson, “Abortion: An Assault on the Defenseless,” October 2008 Ensign (not yet available online).
The SL Trib’s Peggy Fletcher Stack on the media’s coverage of the Romney campaign:
“I was appalled by the way Romney was treated by the press,” said Stack, senior religion writer for the Salt Lake Tribune, “I do not believe every adherent should be responsible for his pastor’s or church’s belief. I wish the questions posed [by the media] were more directly related to the job, especially in this time of national urgency.”

Uh oh. Mormon Broadway alert:
[Avenue Q creator, Bobby] Lopez also is teaming with Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of “South Park,” to write a stage musical about Mormons.
“It’s pro-Mormon,” Lopez said. “I don’t know that we’re not going to make fun of them, but it is pro-Mormon.”
That would be a nice change, but we’ll see. I’m no follower of Broadway, but Avenue Q doesn’t sound particularly inspiring and Stone and Parker’s last take on Mormons doesn’t sound to be that great either.

The reality is that the New Atheist campaign, by discouraging religion, won’t create a new group of intelligent, skeptical, enlightened beings. Far from it: It might actually encourage new levels of mass superstition. And that’s not a conclusion to take on faith — it’s what the empirical data tell us.
“What Americans Really Believe,” a comprehensive new study released by Baylor University yesterday, shows that traditional Christian religion greatly decreases belief in everything from the efficacy of palm readers to the usefulness of astrology. It also shows that the irreligious and the members of more liberal Protestant denominations, far from being resistant to superstition, tend to be much more likely to believe in the paranormal and in pseudoscience than evangelical Christians. . . .
Surprisingly, while increased church attendance and membership in a conservative denomination has a powerful negative effect on paranormal beliefs, higher education doesn’t. Two years ago two professors published another study in Skeptical Inquirer showing that, while less than one-quarter of college freshmen surveyed expressed a general belief in such superstitions as ghosts, psychic healing, haunted houses, demonic possession, clairvoyance and witches, the figure jumped to 31% of college seniors and 34% of graduate students.

The veteran Government adviser said pensioners in mental decline are “wasting people’s lives” because of the care they require and should be allowed to opt for euthanasia even if they are not in pain. . . .
Lady Warnock said: “If you’re demented, you’re wasting people’s lives – your family’s lives – and you’re wasting the resources of the National Health Service. . . .
“Actually I’ve just written an article called ‘A Duty to Die?’ for a Norwegian periodical. I wrote it really suggesting that there’s nothing wrong with feeling you ought to do so for the sake of others as well as yourself.”

To the delight of genealogy buffs like me, scientists recently announced in the journal Nature that they can trace European ancestry to within 192 miles by analyzing tiny inherited markers in DNA. That means someday we’ll need look no further than our own genes to locate our motherlands.

The horror: Canadian doctor warns Sarah Palin’s decision to have Down baby could reduce abortions.
But a senior Canadian doctor is now expressing concerns that such a prominent public role model as the governor of Alaska and potential vice president of the United States completing a Down syndrome pregnancy may prompt other women to make the same decision against abortion because of that genetic abnormality. And thereby reduce the number of abortions.

Diapers and Divinity
I’ve changed diapers every day since January 2003, and let’s face it — it ain’t pretty. I’m pretty sure that I was not cut out to be a toddler mom. And yet . . . deep down inside I sometimes recognize a spark of divinity that tells me this really is what I was meant to do. So welcome to the blog intended to remind you that when you’re up to your elbows in diapers, laundry, battery-operated toys and macaroni and cheese, you’re still a daughter of God. So cry a little, laugh it out, say a prayer and move on.

2,974 people who were killed seven years ago today.
Here’s a very nice photo tour of the grave site memorial for the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
The SL Tribune published my letter adapted from my blog post in response to a columnist. The letter so far has a negative vote of -19!
Rebecca Walsh’s column “GOP is the LDS addiction” (Tribune, Aug. 31) makes no sense. Of course Mormons (and Utahns) believe in virtues such as service, charity and sacrifice. But Walsh mistakenly thinks that unless the government does it, it isn’t charity. She has it exactly backward. Mormons are taught to not wait for the government to tax and act in our place. In fact, we are not performing our charitable duty unless we give of our own time and talents.
So where’s the disconnect? It is with Walsh.
Conservative Mormons are similar to other religious conservatives who are suspicious of government’s inefficiency and ineffectiveness. According to Ben Gose in The Chronicle of Philanthropy, studies show that “religious conservatives are far more charitable than secular liberals, and that those who support the idea that government should redistribute income are among the least likely to dig into their own wallets to help others.”
So putting aside social issues and other sundry reasons why Mormons vote Republican, there’s no inconsistency that a people who believe in service and charity support a party that doesn’t want to outsource those virtues to bureaucrats.
