Summary

The LDS Church just quietly published a long-suppressed 1886 letter from prophet John Taylor—declaring polygamy an eternal commandment. Frank and Dan dig into the implications for Mormon doctrine.

Also in this episode:

A Catholic diocese in the UK fires an atheist accountant after she adopts a child
Pennsylvania considers declaring a “Day of the Bible”
A Saudi journalist is executed for tweets criticizing the regime
Pew Research shows disturbing levels of support for school prayer in US
Rastafarian prisoner’s dreadlocks cut by prison guards
And the World Humanist Congress ditches Washington, D.C.

Stick around for emails, voicemails, and some truly unhinged Christian nationalism.
