"It's a basic choice for a project developer to do one thing well or provide many options where some or all do not work quite as well."
This is a false dilemma. What works well for one person may not work well for another. From a user's perspective, two good options can be better than one good but limited option.
Taubes accuses the medical community of locking onto oversimplified solutions, and yet when he talks about diet, he doesn't consider ANYTHING but weight. On Talk of the Nation: Science Friday, he questioned in passing the recommendation of eating lots of fruits and vegetables, and only frames it in water/carbs... not vitamins and other nutrients essential to overall health.
He also says cholesterol is meaningless, but while a high LDL level in itself may not be the problem, as he mentions research on varying kinds of LDL, it is shown that HDL is beneficial.
Most of all though, I'm uncomfortable with the way he ignores the brain's requirement for glucose in advocating total abstinence from carbohydrates.
Back in the early days of GNOME 2, they stated that 1 good default is better than 5 bad options. It's a false dilemma that has been perpetuated far too long. It's better to have one good default so that it can be used without fiddling, and if your needs are different, it can be easily and LOGICALLY changed to an alternative. For example, recently X-Chat, a development infected by this broken logic, stopped having appear around nicks, stating colors make them obsolete. Perhaps for normal chatting that's fine. Unfortunately, if you need to COPY SOMETHING, you have to edit the raw event templates to put them back in, which aren't at all intuitive.

2 Nephi 6:9 - Nevertheless, the Lord has shown unto me that they should return again. And he also has shown unto me that the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, should manifest himself unto them in the flesh; and after he should manifest himself they should scourge him and crucify him, according to the words of the angel who spake it unto me.
2 Nephi 9:4-5 - 4... wherefore I know that ye know that our flesh must waste away and die; nevertheless, in our bodies we shall see God. 5 Yea, I know that ye know that in the body he shall show himself unto those at Jerusalem, from whence we came; for it is expedient that it should be among them; for it behooveth the great Creator that he suffereth himself to become subject unto man in the flesh, and die for all men, that all men might become subject unto him.
2 Nephi 9:20-21 - 20 O how great the holiness of our God! For he knoweth call things, and there is not anything save he knows it. 21 And he cometh into the world that he may save all men if they will hearken unto his voice; for behold, he suffereth the pains of all men, yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children, who belong to the family of Adam.
2 Nephi 10:3, 7 - 3 Wherefore, as I said unto you, it must needs be expedient that Christ--for in the last night the angel spake unto me that this should be his name--should come among the Jews, among those who are the more wicked part of the world; and they shall crucify him--for thus it behooveth our God, and there is none other nation on earth that would crucify their God...7 But behold, thus saith the Lord God: When the day cometh that they shall believe in me, that I am Christ, then have I covenanted with their fathers that they shall be restored in the flesh, upon the earth, unto the lands of their inheritance.
2 Nephi 11:7 - For if there be no Christ there be no God; and if there be no God we are not, for there could have been no creation. But there is a God, and he is Christ, and he cometh in the fulness of his own time.
2 Nephi 26:12 - And as I spake concerning the convincing of the Jews, that Jesus is the very Christ, it must needs be that the Gentiles be convinced also that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God;
2 Nephi 26:23-24 - 23 For behold, my beloved brethren, I say unto you that the Lord God worketh not in darkness. 24 He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw call men unto him. Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation.
Mosiah 3:5 - For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth, who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty miracles, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases.
Mosiah 5:15 - Therefore, I would that ye should be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works, that Christ, the Lord God Omnipotent, may seal you his, that you may be brought to heaven, that ye may have everlasting salvation and eternal life, through the wisdom, and power, and justice, and mercy of him who created all things, in heaven and in earth, who is God above all. Amen.
Mosiah 13:34 - Have they not said that God himself should come down among the children of men, and take upon him the form of man, and go forth in mighty power upon the face of the earth?
Mosiah 15:1-4
1 AND now Abinadi said unto them: I would that ye should understand that God himself shall come down among the children of men, and shall redeem his people. 2 And because he dwelleth in flesh he shall be called the Son of God, and having subjected the flesh to the will of the Father, being the Father and the Son-- 3 The Father, because he was conceived by the power of God; and the Son, because of the flesh; thus becoming the Father and Son-- 4 And they are one God, yea, the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth.
Mosiah 16:15 - Teach them that redemption cometh through Christ the Lord, who is the very Eternal Father. Amen.
Alma 11:38-40
38 Now Zeezrom saith again unto him: Is the Son of God the very Eternal Father? 39 And Amulek said unto him: Yea, he is the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth, and all things which in them are; he is the beginning and the end, the first and the last; 40 And he shall come into the world to redeem his people; and he shall take upon him the transgressions of those who believe on his name; and these are they that shall have eternal life, and salvation cometh to none else.
3 Nephi 1:14 - Behold, I come unto my own, to fulfil all things which I have made known unto the children of men from the foundation of the world, and to do the will, both of the Father and of the Son--of the Father because of me, and of the Son because of my flesh. And behold, the time is at hand, and this night shall the sign be given.
3 Nephi 11:14 - 14 And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto them saying: 15 Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the world.
3 Nephi 11:27 - And after this manner shall ye baptize in my name; for behold, verily I say unto you, that the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost are one; and I am in the Father, and the Father in me, and the Father and I are one.
Ether 3:14 - Behold, I am he who was prepared from the foundation of the world to redeem my people. Behold, I am Jesus Christ. I am the father and the Son. In me shall all mankind have life, and that eternally, even they who shall believe on my name; and they shall become my sons and my daughters.
Unless God specifically commands it
Some things don't match. The God giving Jacob 2 delighted in the chastity of women, and considered the acts of David and Solomon an abomination. Yet the God giving D&C seems to have changed his mind. David and Solomon did nothing wrong at all! Not to mention any man is entitled to 10 virgins! I also must say that nowhere does either God command Joseph to take women as young as 14 or those already worthily married to other men... but I suppose that's all infered from the second God. Yes, Jacob 2 has an escape clause, but everything else was broken with mormon polygamy as we know it.
Semantics; how does one define 'repentance'? Following the path as shown by Christ? Obeying all the commandments? There were temples at the time the passage I think you are referring to was recorded. Would they not be included in the process of repentance?
All normal acts of devotion are acceptable under "repentance", but telling me that secret handshakes and code names that will be required to enter into heaven(don't BS and say these don't exist, they do) are also included in repentance is a REAL hard sell.
If you're referring to temple work, then I don't see how this is a contradiction, since the work done in the temples is done by the living on behalf of the dead (who can't do their own work).
I was more referring to the belief that people can progress even after the resurrection, just not to the highest degree of the Celestial Kingdom.
The Book of Mormon condemns the (evil) secret combinations (Gadianton Robbers) who used secret signs, and oaths. Just because the temple ceremony is held sacred and is not discussed outside of the temple, does not equate it with the secret oaths of those evil groups in the Book of Mormon.
Um, yeah, and I suppose the oaths against the United States Government in the early temple ceremony and the bloody oaths in the pre1990 ceremony were NOTHING like the Gadianton Robbers. Oh, and get a f---ing dictionary. Temple ceremonies are SECRET, as in kept private or concealed. "Sacred" just means holy or inviolable. Jesus Christ is the most sacred thing in mormonism, yet that's what they are trying their damnest to present to the public.
Since when did the Mormons care what the Book of Mormon says about doctrine? It also says God and Jesus are one, polygamy is an abomination, faith+babptism+repentance is all that's needed(no endowment), no works can be preformed after death, and also condemns secret oaths(ie. temple oaths).
Check the Doctrine & Covenants if you want doctrinal scripture.
No, I mean attending all the pointless meetings(mandatory), doing Home Teaching(semi-mandatory), Callings(mandatory), Splits(optional), etc, etc as hamster-wheel activites.
Simply living a good, christian life is not enough in Mormonism... that's Terrestial "You should have done better" Kingdom stuff. I'm sure you know this.
However, I will accept the notion that people are saved simply by the atonement, if you consider "saved" as merely not going to burn in fire and brimstone for all eternity. Yet being "saved" doesn't really mean much really in that sense, and doesn't match what others consider "saved".
No, you are saved by works in Mormonism. Yes, I know that we are all automatically get the Telestial Kingdom just by the atonement, but to actually be SAVED, as in Celestial "Everybody should be here" Kingdom, you gotta run the Mormon Hamster Wheel for the rest of your life. Works. Time. Money.
BTW, the Book of Mormon is full of some of the most absurd anachronisms that I don't see HOW you could have an honest academic examination without the majority of the text being against. Glass. Horses. Sheep. Headless men struggling for breath while propping themselves up. Metallurgy. Raising two great nations from 20 people in 19 years. Building Solomon's Temple with not even 1% of the manpower. Crossing the ocean by divine wind yet taking 344 days(do the math). Ignorance of Mosaic Law(e.g. pigs being good). Hebrews recording history in Egyptian. Leaders giving farewells in French. Blatant contradictions with its own creed(Jac 2:24, D&C 132:38-39). Blatant plagarism from the King James bible(Matthew 7, 3 Nephi 14), also including chapters of Isiah written after the characters leave Jerusalem.
After all, you should be listening to the huge pile of moon rocks and the mirrors on the surface of the moon, who, along with other things, say, "It happened."
