		<title>WHETHER THERE BE ONE GOD OR MANY</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WHETHER THERE BE ONE GOD OR MANY[1]
by Paul Toscano
The question I address here is whether Mormonism is monotheistic, Trinitarian, or polytheistic.  This question arises because, during his lifetime, Joseph Smith asserted, with seeming indifference to their apparent contradictions, each of the following god concepts: (1) the Old Testament’s depiction of one God; (2) the Book [...]]]></description>

EMPTYING THE FULLNESS OF THE PRIESTHOOD[1] 
 
 
By Paul Toscano
In the Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition God is said to transcend sex and gender.  Notwithstanding, God is presented as male, referred to by the masculine pronoun, assumed to be patriarchal, and possessed of male attributes, characteristics, and preferences.  In Christianity, God incarnates as Jesus, whose male body is crucified, dies, [...]]]></description>

		<title>DEBATE AND SWITCH: Evolution vs. Intelligent Design</title>
