Am I afraid of being "sanctioned" by my friends and family for believing this way? Yeah, a little.


If I had this view of religious worship and posted this picture, the people on this forum would call me a pervert and make light cotton jokes. Such is life. But I am glad zee that you also like light cotton. :smile:

And your interpretation of this picture is.... but that is not the point. If I would have posted the picture, I would have got trolled. It is as simple as that.

Yup. He does it because he is a creepy pervert.

Why me, you have a history of making comments that are sexually disturbing, whereas Zee has a history of posting pictures of classical works of art. History generally dictates the response that a user receives when he/she posts something.

Why Me,

None of these images are considered sexual. Why?

You really believe that?

ETA--Why do you lump NOMs and Democrats in the same category?

Because Marlin Jensen, Boyd K. Packer, and James E. Faust are all NOMs?

Your choice of ellipses essentially confirms what Zeezrom said.

The difference between you is that Zeezrom can tell the difference between the Old Masters and "Girls Gone Wild."

Nonsense. Defenders of the church are trolled on this board. Critics however have a free ride in what they say to defenders. And this is why the defenders have fled the board. Now, critics are mentally stimulating themselves with their comments as they agree with one another. It is sort of a feel good board for critics with kudos, back slaps to each other.
