I almost wish I could have gone to the funeral and protest Westboro style, with a sign that said “God hates Idiots”…
What nonsense. God loves idiots. That’s why he made so many of them.
Classic! I’m having the bumper stickers made ASAP!
I’m guessing the bishop was not a member of the mainstream LDS.
Instead, he is a member of an LDS fundamentalist offshoot; hence, the LDS rules don’t apply.
Nope.
You could always get a T-shirt instead.
Oh, FFS, would you lot learn something BEFORE wibbling on about a subject? Here is a link to a story regarding Rep Earl Blumenauer of Oregon introducing H.R.4431, which has links to the text of the bill as well as a video of Earl on the House floor and his speech of introduction to the bill and its contents as well as his rationale for bringing it up in the first place. How’s about reading the article and the proposed legislation and watching the video BEFORE opining on the specifics of a bill that, up to now, nobody has linked to or, obviously, read? That would be very nice, thanks.
Lincoln said something similar: “Common looking people are the best in the world; that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them.”
u mad bro?
A bit of the backstory from the Seattle Times.
I’ve been to too many LDS funerals in the States, but that’s neither here nor there.
I don’t see why the bishop would suffer for giving a hero’s fallen tribute at the stake center. They love this shit down there in central Utah. That’s where my father was from and you don’t know your religion if you don’t know Kanab.
The Mormon church has no problem with its members using firearms in armed standoffs in Nevada, so why the crocodile tears? When the church does nothing to condemn people pointing guns at Federal officers at the Bundy ranch, its laughable to complain about them carrying them on church property. You reap what you sow.
The LDS church profited from sales of Cliven Bundy books on sale at the church-owned Deseret Books and has no interest in offending its libertarian base in the Mormon Corridor.
Sure, the church finally said something this time, but a one-paragraph press release is nothing compared to the ink they’ve spilled on the horrors of gay marriage, for example.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Children who have done nothing worse than belong to two loving parent who happen to be of the same sex cannot be baptized or even blessed by the same church who won’t disciple out-of-control ranchers who cheat the government out of millions and who give a hero’s burial to crazy armed thugs. The priorities of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is nothing but obvious.
You’re a loon, TB.
But is he wrong about any of that?
Congratulations! For using that phrase, instead of the execrable “the proof is in the pudding,” I award you ten kaylasdad99 points!
You may submit one post using the term “free reign” between now and March 13.
I always feel awkward when a current or former member of a faith plays directly into my negative preconceptions regarding that faith. but that may be another thread. Unless it isn’t, which is why I asked earlier in this thread about possible connections between the takeover and Mormon theology. And I’m feeling more awkward because it appears that the relationship is stronger than I thought.
You haven’t been exactly a shining tribute to the value and truth of your church, either. He’s an ex-member. One expects him to be bitter. What’s your excuse?
Lookie, another sock who’s been here 6 months and is familiar with 10 year old backstories. Be careful.
Uhh, those two have been doing ‘Mormon on Ex-Mormon’ repeatedly, in this thread, alone. I don’t need to see any history between them to see it. Why don’t you tell me about that ‘backstory’. Maybe I’ll take the time to read it. And you might also tell me what side you have in it. Mormon or Ex-Mormon. Which are you?
Let me guess. Just from that post, alone, you must be a faithful Mormon.
Joseph fucking Smith, of fucking Palmyra. It doesn’t take much to figure out that you Mormons are fucking Morons.
So sayeth the angel Moroni, so sayeth the fucking morons… err … Mormons.
Why don’t you bite me, Mormon.
Fucking idiot.
whoa
Seriously, if you’re going to sock correctly, you need to lay low. Now, I’ve got an idea who you were in a past life here. (you weren’t any brighter then than you are now)
Anyway, you’re on the sockdar now.
