BTW, prove it was a Mormon who threw the heavy object. It was probably really you or a Baptist who did it trying to frame the Mormons.

Oh sure...'twas those Baptists who paid $ to a cult school to first get into the game...and then went into a tizzy when their fave cult-team lost! That's the picture.

So I guess you reject Jesus because his apostles fought amongst themselves arguing over which one of them was the top dog? Only God is perfect...

I have an official Lds publication which they teach to their members...including younger members -- called Doctrine & Covenants Student Manual:

The Mormon church claims ONLY "those who keep ALL the commandments of the Lord..." will be "those who gain exaltation in the celestial kingdom..." (p. 164 of manual, with the version I have reapproved in 2000)

Per Mormon doctrine, if you don't live in the celestial kingdom, you won't live forever with Heavenly Father.

So it's not me claiming that perfectionism belongs to you, me, or Jesus' apostles...Rather, it's the Mormon church that does that.

So why don't you preach your "NONE of his followers" (is perfect) sermon to the Mormon leaders who claim that complete commandment-keeping is necessary to be reconciled to the Father.

Despicable behavior to the refs, but tame by comparison. Having had beer thrown on me at the Utah game by BYU haters spouting anti Mormon rants, (much like I see here from time to time), this seems pretty mild. Whatever gets your blood flowing.

And one caveat, 1.5 percent at BYU are not LDS, so while it's reasonable to assume they were Mormons, it's a very small chance they were not, or Utah fans staging a controversy. I doubt it, but you never know.
