The profane and hysterical "The Book of Mormon" took home nine Tony Awards on Sunday including the prize for best musical, a considerable achievement for a pair of first-time Broadway playwrights known more for their raunchy cartoons featuring potty-mouthed kids.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of the Emmy Award-winning "South Park," found a kindred soul in Robert Lopez, who co-wrote the Tony-winning "Avenue Q," and all three found themselves with plenty of awards when they collaborated to gently mock Mormons and send-up Broadway itself.
Collecting the best musical prize, a subdued Parker, who tied Josh Logan of "South Pacific" with four Tonys in one evening said he'd be remiss if he didn't thank his late book co-writer Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon religion.

That is defending Mormonism and serving their agenda.
You should re examine your actions rather than going after their critics.

I don't accept your premise. I didn't speak of Mormonism; I spoke of a majority of Mormons and their political views, in the same way anyone might speak of a majority of American Jews and their politics without addressing Judaism, or of a majority of American Evangelicals and their politics without addressing Christianity, or of a majority of American Buddhists and their politics without addressing Buddhism.
I don't care what you think of Mormons. I don't care what you think about ANYTHING. But you're slandering me...so I repeat: Show me ONE INSTANCE of me defending the Mormon religion anywhere on Free Republic. Quote me. Now, please.
I repeat: Show me ONE INSTANCE of me defending the Mormon religion anywhere on Free Republic. Quote me. Now, please.
Show me ONE INSTANCE of me defending the Mormon religion anywhere on Free Republic. Quote me. Now, please...or shut up.
What a waste of precious time. Good night.
Yeah, you are female.
Big words from a CINO.
That was too vague to get any meaning from, you’ll have to elaborate.
Give it up! :~) You might as well be talking to Rain Man.
