Same old, same old. Again, I ask you. Do you boycott Glenn Beck’s programs and books because he is a Mormon?

Do you refuse to follow football because Steve Young, quarterback for the 49ers, is a Mormon?

Would you refuse to listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, even though President Reagan referred to them as “America’s Choir”?

Do you think that BYU should be squashed, even though they provide a first-class education?

Do you think that starving people all over the world should refuse help from the Mormons?

Like I said, this is sooooo sad - that this thread deteriorated into a Mormon bashing exercise.

I love my Church. Steven Covey is a great man - he is actually famous and well thought of by good people all over the world. I doubt most people even know he is a Mormon. When I joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints I had heard of Steven Covey and had great respect for the man. Then I learned he was a Mormon.

It is crazy to condemn a good man who has done so much good in the world like this. It stinks.

Knock it off.

Different questions from above, so I thought I would answer again.

Wouldn't really call it "first class" but I suppose it depends upon your major (and yes, I went there). As one of my grad advisors (History) said "You went to BYU? I wouldn't put that on my CV."

Would you refuse to listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, even though President Reagan referred to them as “America’s Choir”?

Didn't like the MoTab when I was LDS, so yeah I refuse to listen to them.

Do you boycott Glenn Beck’s programs and books because he is a Mormon?

Actually I do. I don't knowingly give any money to anyone who will pay tithing to the LDS.

Do you refuse to follow football because Steve Young, quarterback for the 49ers, is a Mormon?

Is he still quarterbacking? I haven't watched football in years

Until I saw this thread (and the usual cast of anti-Mormon lunatics), I didn’t even know Covey was a Mormon. I read that book when I was in college, and don’t recall any pro-Mormon sentiment. Then again, I don’t sit around and obsess about the Mormons, like some on this site clearly do.

Absolutely. Why watch people in a cult (deceived or knowingly) sing songs that cover up the truth of what
they teach? There are actual choirs of Christians out
there we can listen to...
