McConkie was an apostle! How dare you all malign him.

The fact of the matter is, when the LDS Church generates such a cultish aura around its prophets and apostles, indeed all "general authorities," any book by an "apostle," especially if called "Mormon Doctrine," and written with McConkie's distinct voice attempting the Jehova intonation, and with the gold and black cover, etc., is not going to be received as something less than revelation. In fact, as we've discussed here, this book did make McConkie perhaps the most visible and lionized and widely recognized of the apostles of his era.

1.) You have no idea what our comfort level is with anything. 2.) Humans trash dead people far more than living people. 3.) Unspoken rules? What a gay thing to say. Do some research and find a quote from some authority that explicity proscribes trashing the Lord's annointed. 4.) You aren't free from its influence. Ahhhhh, SeattleUte is having influence on you. Thanks for the gratuitous "I can see while you can't but trust me you aren't free from the chains of thought control." Honesty, I don't understand assholes like you. This has nothing to do with evangelical versus mormon as Tex is as big an asshole as you and he is every bit as mormon as I am. I just don't get why you come here to be an asshole. Your effort is not to understand, rectify or get to know. Your point is to be an asshole. I don't get it.

I agree and sit equally perplexed as to the motivation to be an asswipe.

Counselor, if that was your point I think it was waaaaay late. If you hadn't caught on to the fact that your point was disgustingly redundant, I am not sure if you are as smart as I give you credit.
