[LA Ute]

I love the fact no one would take even a single element seriously. It's very affirming.

[il Padrino Ute]

Very good. lol!

I thought it looked like a fine plan. Only under such a plan would I ever consider sending Little Robin to his father's alma mater.

The plan is all wrong! If the BYU is going to go the Bob Jones University route, it had better get its act together. They've got a long ways to go.

Although, at least Bob Jones U. is sorry for its racist past.

Good find! So even BJU has apologized.

Hmmm....let's see.....charismatic guy gets up, presents a new, radical plan and outlines the plan as a roadmap for a return to glory; the charismatic guy takes pleasure in the rejection of the new, radical plan; sheepish fencesitters like robinfinderson agree with the new, rejected plan and subsequently follow this charismatic leader......where have I seen this before?

BJU has apologized. Have you known this all along as you and others have mocked me for demanding BYU apologize?

Sweet! Does this mean I was black in the pre-existence? Because that would sure explain a lot.

That was POLICY, not DOCTRINE. The new policy is gays were the fence sitters. That's why they got the gay gene. Does that explain a lot too?

Hey man, the hymn says there is no end to race, not taste.

I was referring to Bluto's stirring speech to the dejected Deltas in Animal House. What are you talking about? What does the pre-existence or being black have to do with any of this?

You may have a point. After all, now that BJU has apologized, the whole world no longer views that school as a right-winged neo-con factory for zealots. The apology really shattered perceptions.

Bluto?! I will not be made a fool of.

I miss terribly Waters calling me Lucifer with all the sincerity he could muster.

I disagree with you on some things, but I will agree that the President of the University should not be a GA. It makes him a yes-man to the Brethren.

[New Mexican Disaster]

If that's the case, then how sincere is the faith to begin with?

Or are you strictly speaking pragmatically in terms of what is financially advantageous for the Church?

Faith??? Faith??? How can we talk about FAITH??? (said in the voice of Jim Mora in his playoffs rant).
