MUKILTEO — Arson is the cause of an early morning fire that destroyed a church building next door to Kamiak High School, fire and police officials said. No one was injured in the blaze.

The Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s office, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and Mukilteo Fire and Police departments concluded Saturday afternoon that the fire was started outside near the back entry of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints building at the corner of Harbour Pointe Boulevard and Chennault Beach Drive.

The two-alarm fire, first reported shortly before 3 a.m. Saturday, has left two Mormon congregations without a place to worship.

Firefighters at the nearby Mukilteo Fire Department responded within minutes, said Assistant Fire Chief Brian McMahan.

Seriously?

Figured you wouldn’t have an answer...magritte

[panaxanax]

I posted without thinking. It was a terrible joke.

Sorry.

[reaganaut]

Considering past comments made similar to this, why do I not believe it was a joke??

[Vendome]

A joke? Puh-Leese!

When something terrible like this happens they always pull this garbage.

So the Mormon word for the day is once again....

Now say it with EQUIVOCATE.

[reaganaut]

EEEEE-QUIV-OOOHHHH-KATE!

[Vendome]

I can barely type on this tiny keyboard.

wish I was on my computer.

Not that it would matter. I never check muh grammuh o’ muh spelluhn

[Osage Orange]

So....now you accuse FReeper's of arson.

It wasn't too long ago...mormon's were accusing fellow FReeper's of murder.

So this isn't surprising in the least.....And it's noted.

Pathetic, really. That you equate strong opposition to mormonism...as "attacks" and then extrapolate that to murder and arson.

Just wow.........

[Osage Orange]

Hating Mormons is sport for many. A ‘crime’ is the last thing they would think of it being.

You are despicable....and pathetic. And an example for your religion....I hope you are proud.

A bishop, or leader, eh?

Sick.

[Osage Orange]

That post is despicable. S.D....and apparently you didn't learn a thing from your jumping on the bandwagon accusing fellow FReepers of being possible murderer's.

But it totally fits your M.O.

Bless your little heart.....

[Osage Orange]

Not defending Mormons....I just hate it when people throw the anti-Mormon crap like that into the News/Activism forum...save that baloney for the Religion Forum...magritte

Well you know.....I just hate it when I'm accused of CRAP like arson, and murder by mormon's.

And people like yourself...don't see that for what it is.

I didn't see you address that point, at all.

[magritte]

Hey Osage ... didn’t address that point because it didn’t interest me... anti-Mormon vitriol that is allowed on this board will obviously sometimes get equally ridiculous bounceback from the Mormons on this board ... it’s only natural given the attacks on their faith here. For the record, I don’t think the anti-Mormons on here would burn down a Mormon church or kill any Mormon clergy. They would have to be true fanatics to do that...hoping to save Mormon souls by eliminating some of the symbols or places of LDS...don’t see that here...magritte

[Osage Orange]

Waiting for some sort of apology....And not that it was a "joke".

Considering....the recent past of mormon's accusing FReeper's of being possible murder suspects. And then when it turned out it was a fellow mormon that murdered the bishop....ya all did little but deflect, discard, and argue.

From what I've read here on this thread....the folks that were offering understanding and condolence's were the anti-mormonism people. ( NOTE: not anti-mormon's, but...ANTI-MORMONISM )

Have at it...........

FRegards,

[Osage Orange]

Didn't interest you? Great.

Interesting...and it's noted.

And for the record. When you insist on calling it anti-mormon....you apparently insist on making it personal. It's not personal for me....I love people...but hate the sin.

IOW.....I am totally against mormonism. I think it's a cult. Plain and simple.

[ejonesie22]

Apology noted and accepted.

Stupid happens to all, it is what we do with it after that counts.

[Tennessee Nana]

It wasn’t too long ago...mormon’s were accusing fellow FReeper’s of murder.

And of wanting to crucify the mormon FReepers on crosses...

[svcw]

The fact you even asked was amazing. You are an anti-Christian bigot. Your defense of lds claiming superiority in your accusations against Christians leads one to believe you are lds and under the guise of “Judaism” spew ignorant and bigoted charges and claims against Christans which is disgusting.

They could start their investigation right here at FR, based on some of the downright hateful posts here about Mormons

REALLY? Is that so Pax? If you don't point to the post (and the FReeper or FReepers whom you now accuse of arson) then you are a COWARD. If you can't, you are a LIAR.

[T Minus Four]

Oh cool, didn’t see this before I replied to Pax and pinged you JR.

“They could start their investigation right here at FR, based on some of the downright hateful posts here about Mormons.”

In the LDS world, disagreeing with doctrine = hate.

I guess I hate my own church then because I disagree with some of the doctrines of the Methodist Church.
