re: #225 erik_t

I use it as a convenient example because the sample size is very large and it’s recent and well-documented. I don’t recall anyone suggesting at the time (or since then) that it was out of character for any of the groups involved.

I don’t mean to be engaging in solipsistic bullshit - it really is the best case study that comes to my mind.

I do not mean any of this as a defense of the Roman Catholic Church or a variety of other evangelical groups, many of whom deserve equal or greater angry glares for engaging in similar activity. This all stems from an implication at #169 that Mormon-bashing is exclusively tied to their ‘weirdness’ or lack thereof, which is an incomplete picture.

The Catholic church were very involved in Prop 8 as well as the LDS.
