re: nofacetimber

When I visited Salt Lake City, they appeared to have marked homeless problems. I researched this a bit and find that in fact they have had remarkable success in reducing homelessness. The hotel I had been staying in and going back and forth to the convention hotel was located in the four block stretch that is the epicenter of homelessness and homeless services.

Overall, though, they've had dramatic success, apparently.

This idea of evil and God being mutually exclusive is a relatively new one, with its beginning in the enlightenment era when people began to decide they were pretty freaking smart. This resulting faith in our own finite intellect is where some begin to question an infinite being's motives-something only done from to high a view of self.

God being omnibenevolent is a core tenet of the three major world religions. God being partially evil is simply incompatible with the Christian faith. You can think that god allows or even causes bad things to happen, sure. But god being somewhat evil? That is not and never has been part of the Christian faith.

Btw, the question of god's compatibility with evil predates the Enlightenment by at least half a millennium. Aquinas even addressed it.

I have lived next door to a Mormon family for 15 years. Their 4 children grew up there and interacted with my children. They are the nicest people in the neighborhood.

The Stepford wives neighborhood?

re: Trackgrandpa

TrackGramps, Not really. Pyrah ran 4:04 in high school. Should have done much better. He lost critical development time with his mission. All the others were run of the mill.

In connection with Casey Clinger's possible running career after his mission consider the following list of US olympians who served LDS missions (Olympic years, event and region of service indicated):
Henry Marsh (1976, 1984, 1988), steeplechase. Brazil.
Doug Padilla (1984, 1988), middle distance. El Salvador.
Ed Eyestone (1988, 1992), marathon. Spain.
Jason Pyrah (1996, 2000), 1500. Bolivia
Grant Robison (2004), 1500. South Africa.
Josh McAdams (2008), steeplechase, Thailand.
Jared Ward (2016), marathon, Pennsylvania.
There has been at least one returned LDS missionary on every US mens mid-d/d Olympic team since 1976 except in 2012. (In 2012 Miles Batty(1500) and Josh McAdams (st) both made the finals in their events at the Olympic Trials but did not make the team.) This is a history that certainly supports at least the possibility of a distinguished post-mission running career.
