I agree with most of what is on here but the best thread/blog of the year was overlooked.

I see that BCC is poised to win an award. If it does, God will not be pleased, and this will serve as a condemnation of the entire “Bloggernacle” community generally. I hereby invoke my Melchizedek Priesthood authority and dust-off my feet at anyone who votes for that den of reprobates.

Does my blog post on “The Problem of Virginal Conception” offend?
http://culturalmormoncafeteria.blogspot.com/2009/12/hieros-gamos.html
The point of the post was to challenge Bill McKeever’s and Aaron Shafovaloff’s dogmatism, and show that scripture does not definitively rule out sexual conception (hieros gamos).

Ok Ms. Jack Meyers,

That’s a decent explanation. Although for me it should be “incompatible” with biblical and BoM data, since she was a “virgin” giving birth. That is why the incest stories are highly offensive to me.

Still can’t see your comment as appropriate, although I guess it has become “memorable” to me too. How will I ever forget it now?

#23 CarlosJC ~ The thread “Like a Virgin” by Bored in Vernal is her argument that the old LDS view that God the Father had physical sex with Mary to cause the incarnation of Jesus is both compatible with the biblical and Book of Mormon data (i.e. Mary being called a “virgin”) and defensible, even preferable today. The idea is outrageously offensive to only about 99% of the non-LDS Christian world, and vast majority of the Mormons I’ve met aren’t so fond of it, either.

So if you want to be offended by my comment, fair enough. But given the context of the discussion where it was made, you’re kind of missing the forest for the trees there.

(BTW, BiV, this isn’t meant to be a commentary on your post. I’m just trying to summarize for Carlos.)

Ms. Jack Meyers #19,

I didn’t bother reading that post but followed the link on this page (nominations) thinking about the upcoming voting.

(I had not read most of what is nominated here)

If the thread is about that, ‘groin buddies’, then it too would be offensive to me. But I’m not reading it to find out.

I feel like the shortening of Seawright’s post title in the current events category places it at a disadvantage, which is a shame because IMO that’s the winner. How about, “Tradeoff: Gay Marriage and Women’s Rights”?

#17 CarlosJC ~ To me that comment is highly offensive and ought to have been deleted.

As opposed to an entire thread that makes the serious case that God the Father and the virgin Mary were groin buddies, which isn’t offensive to anyone in the slightest.

Or in other words, I’d seriously reconsider my hierarchy of things that offend me if I were you.

I appreciate the nomination in the best contribution and write-in categories. Thank you very much.

Having said that, i wish to withdraw from consideration from the Best Contribution category in deference to Edje’s excellent series on Mormon Taxonomy. I’d also like to withdraw from the write-in category in deference to John Hamer’s work.

Please make these changes before voting opens. Thank you.

“Bridget Jack Meyers’ comment #16 at Like a Virgin”

To me that comment is highly offensive and ought to have been deleted.

Not funny at all.

Probably too many nominations in each category.

Maybe 4 or 5 in each would make the voting easier imho.

I don’t care much about the final vote, but I LOVE the chance to see so many wonderful posts in one place so I can go back and read things that moved me the first time I read them – and discover ones I missed originally.

That’s the main reason why I voted to include so many posts in the categories. For me, it’s FAR more about recognizing amazing posts than excluding everything but the four or five best based on an “expert panel” vote. It’s like the argument against the Book of Mormon, the Koran, the sayings of Confucius and the Kama Sutra just because we already have the Bible. (OK, I added one just to see who is reading and paying attention – but for those who accept the Song of Solomon as inspired scripture, is it really that much of a . . . stretch?)

Best Canadian blog was supposed to be write-in nomination. I should have been clearer.
