Just spent a couple of hours reading about Professor Bott. Very hopeful.

Salt Lake has two main papers, the Tribune and some rag which fronts for Church. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/blogsfaithblog/53617297-180/church-bott-mormon-priesthood.html.csp

The Tribune ran an op-ed on the Bott controversy, and the letters which follow it go on for days. Many hilarious. They're easily 90 per cent anti-Mormon. Nothing like that could have happened during my days in Salt Lake, way back when.

As dimbear I predicted that the Mormon Church would rue the day that Mittens came to national attention. So true. (Prophet?) And my friends, it's going to get hotter yet. It's going to get hotter than the salt flats on the 14th of July.

Oh Internet, how like a god you are. You truly are a destroyer of idols.

information pointing out that the LDS was at least as rascist and almost as recently overtly racist as the Southern Baptist church, would probably help Rmoney.
