Thus the guy who got fired for helping the poor rather than attending church. That one sounded a little funny to me. I mean who uses the , I help the poor rather than attend church excuse.

If their is any rallying cry to this website, it is "the church is a big tent." "You don't think anyone thinks like you, well there are actually a lot of people who do. You are not alone.

We are just one small foot soldier in a larger cultural "battle". We are not the "loyal opposition". We are merely people who would like to open discuss those things which we never have the opportunity to discuss in our day-to-day lives.

At least, that's what I aspire to. I don't have a problem with the mullahs, as long as they do not rip the stakes of zion and shrink this tent. They have no right. The small tent is their own mental creation.

I'm proud to be a mormon where at least my tent is big
I can be a open minded dude even if I'm connected to the vine through a small twig
Cuz there is a yearning in every Mormon heart
So its time we stand and tes-ti-fy!!!!

That I'm proud to be a mormon, where at least my tent is big
I won't forget the September six and former BYU profs who prefer to ride men's dicks....
