Well, If The Mormons Showed Up Shirtless?.
2008-07-15 10:41:00 …maybe I’d consider the LDS Church! PatriotPartner alerted me to this steamy item. It was actually in the online version of the Charlotte Observer newspaper. Mormons Exposed – the calendar! The 2008 Men on a Mission calendar features twelve handsome returned Mormon missionaries from across the United States who, for the first time ever, have dared to pose ...

Mormons dedicate a fifth temple in Brazil
2008-06-09 16:27:00 The LDS Church now boasts more members abroad than in the U.S., where the church has its origins. About 55 percent of the world's 13 million Mormons live outside the U.S., according to church figures.
How Mormons Deal With Fame
2008-05-22 19:50:00 The following article is one I clipped from the Newsroom at lds.org: SALT LAKE CITY 15 May 2008 Seventeen-year-old Utah Mormon David Archuleta, one of two finalists in the singing contest American Idol, is experiencing what many other Latter-day Saint celebrities have faced before him.

Chris Cooley: Mormons don't golf on Sundays
2008-04-23 18:57:00 Nearly everything Chris Cooley says is interesting and a recent post at Shtudown Corner by my favorite player proved no different. I listen when he discusses the relatively uninteresting story of a Reebok photoshoot so you can be damn sure I'm paying attention when he's discussing the draft from a player's perspective. And, in honor of this being the week of the Draft, I'll give you a few of my favorite snippets from the article, but encourage you all to check out the piece in its entirety. Enjoy: I figured a little golf was much more relaxing. As it turned out golfing on a Saturday in Logan, Utah is a popular event. I made the rounds to four different courses, striking out at all of them. If the first round could have been Sunday it would have worked out great for me. No Mormons golf on Sunday, I would have had the course to myself. I think Bill Parcells is, was, and will forever be a phenomenal coach. Even when he was in Dallas I had enormous respect for him for what he'd man...

Modern-day Mormons disavow polygamy
2008-04-21 11:58:00 Despite the LDS Church's repeated efforts to distance itself from the polygamy-practicing Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, many Americans have trouble distinguishing the two.

Mormons feel torn over FLDS raid
2008-04-15 15:22:00 "As the FLDS are, we once were," says Guy Murray, a lawyer in Southern California who has been blogging daily in defense of the FLDS community's civil rights. "Back then, we were the ones in the compound. We've all seen the photos of our brethren who went to prison rather than give up their wives."
Mormons see teaching moment in raid on fundamentalist Texas sect
2008-04-12 10:21:00 Mormons are upset about the fact that people confuse its many splinter groups with mainstrain Mormonism, or that people think Mormons still practice polygamy (which it founder stated was "the most holy and important doctrine ever revealed to man on earth").

Adam Carolla Insults Argentina, Mormons, Monks, And Tango?
2008-04-01 04:53:00 Is this really necessary? I knew it would be a mistake to put Adam Carolla on ABC. The former wisecracker of MTV's Loveline and the overtly sexist The Man Show on Comedy Central, Carolla spits controversial as part of a quest to be popular. In a scene reminiscent of Kathy Griffin dissing Jesus at the live Emmy's ceremony in September, Adam used his live judges' review tonight on Dancing With The Stars to simultaneously insult the art of the tango and the religion of at least 5.6 million people (in the US alone).

Bullshattuck Hates Jews, Mormons & Josh Moon
2008-02-15 20:00:00 No, I do not hate Jews, Mormons and Josh Moon. Nevertheless, the following letter-to-the-editor was printed a few days ago in The Daily Utah Chronicle in response to my article Single On the Big V Day?. Needless to say, it's nothing short of golden: Ryan Shattuck continues to regularly make anti-Mormon, and now anti-Semitic, comments in his column. Comparing Jews to marijuana was simply over the top. I urge his editor to reign in Shattuck and his pro-homosexual, anti-family and anti-religious agenda. Josh Moon Senior, Political ScienceOh wait. It's from Josh Moon? Josh Moon? This letter is from a close friend of mine, Josh Moon? No, the author of this letter does not believe that I'm anti-Mormon, anti-Semitic, and anti-religious. Many of my friends - Josh Moon specifically - have a wonderfully wicked sense of humor, and his letter-to-the-editor is nothing short of spectacular satire. Nevertheless, I can't help but think... is there much of a difference between Josh wh...
Mitt Romney:"It Seems Like It?s Been ?Open Season? On Mormons"

Governor Romney dropping out of the Presidential bid - quickly endorsing his arch-rival and the end of the conservative GOP movement. I have to agree with a 90 year old reader of mine who ...
Gay Mormons? Mormon Leaders? Good Luck Chuck?
2008-02-10 18:00:00 Good Luck Chuck? Wasn't that movie supposed to be absolutely awful? I never saw it, but it has Dane Cook in it - which is the acting equivalent of adding a teaspoon of urine to a bottle of 1998 Petrus Pomerol merlot - so I don't doubt that the movie was terrible. He sure does piss all over everything, doesn't he? "You know, Gone With the Wind would have been one of the greatest films in the history of humankind - but if had Dane Cook in it. So I walked out towards the middle." Dane Cook has nothing to do with being gay. Most people also believe that gay people have nothing to do with Mormons. Yet everything comes full circle. I keep seeing the headline "Gay Mormons Seek Meeting With New Leader" show up in my RSS reader this morning, so after the 4th headline I took the bait - and clicked. While I don't necessarily follow gay Mormon issues the way others do (yawn, yawn and yawn) I'm a rather unsuccessful homosexual as well as formerly attended the Mormon church myself. Thus, ...

Mormons Shedding Stations?
2008-01-29 16:54:00 "There’s been a theory floating around that [newly dead Mormon head Gordon] Hinckley’s patronage of LDS Church-owned Bonneville International was one reason why it continued to own stations (and to trade and sometimes expand its holdings). The other part of the theory is that there are some folks who hope the church’s new leader might decide that it ought not to be in the commercial radio business, or at least not outside its home market of Salt Lake City. If that’s true – and we don’t know who the new President will be – some amazing properties could come on the market. Would current management be first in line, though?" Tom Taylor's Radio-Info

2007-12-19 21:21:00 A former Mormon tells Editor & Publisher that Mitt Romney is lying when he claims his religion won't influence presidential decisions. Steve Benson, Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist for the Arizona Republic, says if Mitt is the Repub nominee he won't beat the Democrat. In the interest of full disclosure I have a Mormon son-in-law so I'm going to keep my yap shut. I've already written about the secret Mormon underwear (see Mormon label).

Who Do Mormons Believe Goes to Heaven and Hell?
2007-12-18 05:36:00 In order to understand the LDS theology of heaven and who goes where, you have to throw out any preconceived notions you have about the Christian heaven and hell. Simply stated, Mormons beliefs are different. In some cases, they are very different. Mormons believe that death occurs when the spirit leaves the body. After death, the body stays on earth (obviously), and the spirit goes to the "

2007-12-12 08:12:00 This is the most boring political month on record. On the Republican side, we've talked about Mormon theology, how many illegal aliens candidates have hired, and criminal pardons. On the Democrat side: pre-school transcripts, drivers licenses, the right to achieve happiness, and Oprah versus Bill. Is this what we've come to? Maybe we're just bored of Iraq (or we've reluctantly decided that we're going to win) and we don't want to talk about social security, health care, personal freedom, etc. Maybe the candidates are trying to find differentiators. Either way, I hope we can talk like smart people some day.

What do Mormons Believe about Jesus Christ?
2007-12-12 07:28:00 A lot of people ask what Mormons believe about Jesus Christ. In 2000, the leadership of the LDS Church issued a proclamation called "The Living Christ." I believe it is the best summary of who Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is. As we commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ two millennia ago, we offer our testimony of the reality of His matchless life and the infinite virtue of His great atoning

Do Mormons Believe in Jesus Christ?
2007-12-07 01:19:00 As always, I like to start with the short answers before I get into the details. The answer to the question of whether or not Mormons believe in Jesus Christ is easy – Yes, Jesus Christ is central to all Mormon doctrine and theology. Mormons believe that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is restored, New Testament Christianity. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Creator of the
The Religious Litmus Test
2007-12-06 20:05:00 It's sad that in this country we need to have a religious litmus test for a Presidential candidate, at least in the Republican Party.Mitt Romney's presidential campaign should be judged on his ideas, his stances on policies and his record as Governor of Massachusetts from 2003-2007, not on whether or not he worships at a temple or a church. Today's speech by Mitt Romney, where he almost seemed desperate, is a sad event in our history.I found this part of Romney's speech especially titilating;Let me assure you that no authorities of my church, or of any other church for that matter, will ever exert influence on presidential decisions. Their authority is theirs, within the province of church affairs, and it ends where the affairs of the nation begin. As governor, I tried to do the right as best I knew it, serving the law and answering to the Constitution. I did not confuse the particular teachings of my church with the obligations of the office and of the Constitution - and of cou...

Mormons Against Romney?
2007-12-04 20:00:00 I'm not a fan of Mitt Romney. At all. Like, even a little bit. My opinion of him as a presidential candidate is so low that if I were forced to choose between him and Elmo (at gunpoint, we're assuming), I'd probably vote for the puppet. After all, I don't recall Elmo saying that he would double the size of Guantanamo Bay. In 'researching' a column I'm writing (research, i.e. using Google and Wikipedia), I came across this fantastic website, called Mormons Against Romney. Now while this may seem like a confusing contradiction on the level of "Animals Against PETA" or "Basic Instinct 2," the website actually makes a lot of sense. Too bad they haven't updated their site since May. C'mon guys - I'll be disappointed if I discover that you've been called to repentance and commanded to vote for Mitt.
Do Mormons Wear Magic Underwear?
2007-12-01 19:13:00 The answer to this question is simple. No. Mormons do not wear magic underwear. Mormons who have attended the temple and made sacred covenants with God do wear a temple garment under their clothing. Calling the temple garment “magic underwear” is bigoted and offensive. It is reflective of a misunderstanding of what the garment represents. To a Latter-day Saint, the temple garment is very holy.

2007-11-30 07:11:00 Reporters don't often understand what it means to be a Latter-day Saint, and this comes across in their reporting. Michael Luo at the New York Times may be an exception. His blog post today commented on Mitt Romney's answer in the YouTube debate about whether or not he accepts every word of the Bible to be true. In his article, Lou outlined the Latter-day Saints' beliefs regarding the Bible - and
Mormons massaging public image as spotlight widens

Southern Baptists Fail to Save Members from Mormons

The reason Romney faces difficulties with Southern Baptists, according to many experts, is his Mormon faith. Not only do many Southern Baptists regard the Mormon
Only Stone-Cold Mormons Need Apply to Y
2007-11-20 22:00:00 (This article was published in the November 19th, 2007 issue of the The Daily Utah Chronicle) Unfortunately, I don’t posses even one unbiased bone in my body when it comes to BYU. Really, not a single bone. Even my coccyx is no fan of the cougar. It’s difficult to remain objective and write on why the University of Utah is superior to Brigham Young University, when one is actually physically incapable of doing so. I want to be fair and view the schools on the same level, and yet I am biologically wired to abhor the Y with an intense passion usually reserved for devoted followers of Muhammad, or Comic-Con. I’m being asked to give my opinion on why an education from Brigham Young University is the largest waste of time and money in the Intermountain Region? Not only have I been waiting my entire life to write such a column, but unbeknownst to many, I was actually predestined by God and/or Gitchi Manitou and/or Oprah to do so. I truly wish I didn’t hate BYU. Preordination...
Do Mormons believe that Jesus Christ and Satan are brothers?
2007-11-18 23:50:00 In order to properly understand the answer to this question, it is necessary to understand some basic LDS doctrines. The scriptures teach us that all men and women were born spiritually before they were born physically. This is why we call God our Heavenly Father. We believe we are quite literally spiritual sons and daughters of God. Before coming to earth, we lived together in a spiritual
Romney camp: Anti-Mormon calls 'repulsive'
2007-11-16 21:57:00 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign Friday called reports of anti-Mormon phone calls made to voters in New Hampshire "repulsive," and said they have formally asked the state's attorney general to investigate the matter. "Whichever campaign is engaging in this type of awful religious bigotry as a line of political attack, it is repulsive and, to put it bluntly, un-American," Romney communications director Matt Rhoades said in a statement. According to the Associated Press, potential voters in both New Hampshire and Iowa have received anonymous phone calls designed to spread a negative image of the former Massachusetts governor. Specifically, the calls raise questions about his Mormon faith, and the deferments he received from the Vietnam war because he was doing missionary work in France. "There is no excuse for these attacks," Rhoades added. "Gov. Romney is campaigning as an optimist who wants to lead the nation. These attacks are just the opposite. They a... |
