I think they still allow him to beat his wife. So he didn't have to give up everthing likes.

So the OP is participating in hate speech against an individual based on their religon? Isn't that punishable by law? A race-baiting thread too nontheless.

So what if he's Mormon? I'm Catholic but I don't necessarily subscribe to all the tenants of Catholicism. Guess I'm not a good Catholic.

Which is a good thing since I haven't been confirmed yet. If so I'd have to feel real guilty.

Having lived in Utah, I can say that Beck is by no means representative of Mormons.

Especially the Jack Mormons.

It's not exactly a secret.

What? Since 1978? I never had a problems with Mormons before, but now I'm wondering. Until 1978, they didn't think that blacks were equal to whites? Wow.

So, what's the reason that blacks were barred from the priesthood? The links on the about.com page aren't working.

The LDS church excommunicates members for not following their rules. They should start proceedings:

Wow are you so witty. Actually, he is very sincere and cares about the USA. Maybe not all the counter-culture wack jobs, but America.
