Wow, now we're rounding up LGBT's and committing genocide?


Nah, just the front company for the Church known as BYU. Relax.

Some of you all really want BYU to be the most evil university in the history of earth. How is this all different from Mormons wanting to believe in the Book of Mormon?

If you're saying that BYU proves the Book of Mormon is just inspired fiction I'm good with that.

He he, no I was only hinting that such absolutes can put one in the same camp, moving from objective observations to die-hard zealots pushing the limit of the truth to support a claim.

My point was, you don't have to personally attach the electrodes to someone's balls to be culpable.

I guess I understood that, you were looking for a dramatic flair. My counterpoint being that using an extreme is intended to escalate.

I had hoped that my use of the term "Godwinny" might deflate any drama.

Yeah, I see where you’re coming from. And don’t get me wrong; I and my wife are former BYU students and we agree that many parts of the university are first rate, like the business school and even the law school (despite the fact that it’s named after J. Reuben Clark). But the Psych Dept is an aberration in an otherwise excellent institution, at least it was during the 70s and 80s when they had to conceal certain activities to keep from losing their academic accreditation.

Well, any other "lies", or are you just going to stick with the notion that the LDS President has his sinister hands firmly entwined with the puppet strings, especially with the 30+ other academic institutions that performed the same procedures?

Sinister puppet strings? Like as in a conspiracy? No, the General Authorities who run BYU are very up front about the fact that BYU is part of the Church. The only ones who are saying BYU isn’t part of the Church are the authors of that BS FAIR rebuttal. If you believe BYU’s not part of the Church, then you’ve never been a student at BYU.

How about a discussion about real victims......yawn

Know much about the Mountain Meadows Massacre? Or do you think that was a good idea, too?
