The Mormons are Coming ... to a theater near you!

Well, I do declare - Ya'll are fixen to rekindle the civil war.
I rekkin? I'll have ta fight fer Dixie. As much trouble as she's always bein', could be, they'll let her go easy like, this time.
Be intrestin? ta see whut side that Yankee Texian comes down on.
Come on folks - how did this degenerate into a North/South thing?
That was me this morning, by accident posting anonymous. Ironic.
Anyway - this is not and has not been about persecution. It is amazing to me that you would view it that way, just from having the basic tenets of the faith explained. It would compare to me feeling persecuted, because of some one saying: The Christians think Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life.
If you are offended by what Joseph Smith and Brigum Young have said, then maybe you do really need to re-examine your membership - if you are a LDS. If not - then you have insulted them far more than I have by calling their prophet's proclamations "Crap"

I think what happens is when you quote books written by people who mix their opinions with "doctorine" you get crap. Just like when you add in your opinion of what truth is concerning another religion and tell them it is "the truth" and they are living a lie. I think that is simply your opinion. It is a terrible shame that people of the LDS religion are involved in some of these terrible things I have read on this board. I don't know any of them but I do beleive the stories. I don't think anyone one would make that stuff up. I am sad to hear of so many people who seem to think all LDS people are like that. I have to say, I do understand how that can happen. Especially because of the magnitude of what has been done to these kids and their families.

obviously you can't read Roy. I said nothing about Godly whites and confederate flags. I was talking about bigotry and racism, both of which can be found in the south. And no, Idaho doesn't have more rednecks than the south. Idaho has lots more bigots and racists tho..and it sounds like you are one of 'em. Imagine that?

Even been on the BYU campus? It's scarier than a Stephen King novel.

Much of you say is true about Idaho, and that was my point. I can't dis on the rivers and the woods though. On that account it is really a great place. I still go over there regularly to enjoy them. And, no problem. You would be right. We all carry some bigoty and work dilligently to decrease it. Actually I love the South and Love making fun if it as much as I do my beloved Northwest and especially my sweet home Idaho and the whole USA and a few other places too. I suppose I didn't make it clear, however. that I don't identify myself with any of particular place. Hey, I've lived all over the place and have liked most all of them (no zenophobia or ethnocentrism here). However, I've been thinking, it would sure be funny to get a bumber sticker that says "God Bless Canada and Mexico." Since I'm not getting any laughs ruffling southern feathers, anybody wanna make one of those bumper stickers just for fun. Thanks for the good advice Karen!!!! And, you are right. This is not to be taken seriously. And since it is annoying to others on the board, I'll do the honerable thing and put and end to it. And to the gentleman from the South. "Its all good."
Roy
