Maybe the Mormon church should send in the Danites to conduct an investigation, and render justice, if those responsible can be determined.
The Otter Community FROWNS on your shenanigans!
"Governor says breaking the law is bad" - news at eleven!
East Idaho? Strange
I wonder what the limit is...
Graffiti is against the law, glad the govonor spoke against law breakers
Is the state so small a govonor would know about local graffiti?
Governor says,
"Yeah; I know mindreading is verboten on FR, but HEY! I didn't post this stuff there!"
I hope those responsible for the vandalism are caught and appropriately punished.
And it will be like the last two times - the perps are Mormon teenagers.
You want to see how CHRISTIANS (and Mormons are not) are REALLY persecuted?
Check out persecution.org.
Mormons have it easy stop playing the persecution card.
Ex Mormons ya think?
They should start the investigations by 1st changing the name of their city.
BTW, I think they are going to find out it is one of their own.
Their edifices don’t look like churches to me.
Doesn’t mean they don’t consider them as such but, I don’t think church when I see them.
The temples are a different matter.
When is the Governor of Texas going to speak out vs. vandalism of Christian churches?
Or is it that Mormon-narrative pity parties only start and end with Mormon buildings? And thereby only they gain the attention of govs?
Also...given that Joseph Smith left in the middle of the night with other Mormons in Kirtland Ohio in the 1830s due to bank fraud he had committed...thereby abandoning the temple there...Mormons haven't always been good stewards of their buildings as it is.
Occasionally in Mormon history, the "vandals" have been internal...here, in this column, a Mormon columnist for the Ogden, Utah newspaper mentions how a newly appointed Mormon "apostle" -- Lyman Sherman -- was told by Joseph Smith to set their Kirtland printing office on fire as they were leaving town:
"...opposition leaders sought to use a printing office to manufacture anti-LDS tracts. That printing office was destroyed by fire to prevent that, and historians believe it was the ever-faithful Sherman who set the blaze to thwart Smiths enemies."
Source: Early Mormon Sherman died without ever knowing he was called to be an apostle
(Boy, those Mormon leaders sometimes go pretty far in their actions vs. who they perceive as anti-Mormonism)
Indeed. Unauthorized artwork by any uncontracted graffiti artist should be arrested, tried & convicted.
Besides, the Mormon Church has already contracted/completed artistic representations of devilish-linked pentagrams for its Nauvoo Temple. (No need to take away contracts from these sub-contractors ... like an interesting account about one such sub-contractor from a dozen years ago...followed by a link where you can see the photos yourself):
"Charles W. Allen explained how he was commissioned by the LDS Church to build the leaded glass stars that encircle the outside of the Nauvoo temple. The plan was to remain faithful to the original design, so Allen commenced to put together stars that would be placed in an inverted fashion. However, Allen noted that on May 8, 2001, he was approached by three men from the church. He writes, 'Ron Prince, Cory Karl and Keith Stepan were in the shop this morning to see how I was doing and to take a look at the colored glass in the star sash. They really liked what they saw. Keith asked me whether, if President Hinckley wanted to have the star pointed in an up position, that would be possible? I said yes, that all I had to do is to rotate the sash. He made a recorded note of that for his next meeting with President Hinckley. There is some concern by members of the Temple Committee that the upside down star would be interpreted as a Satanic symbol which some cults believe in today.'"

No, really? Satanic symbols in the Nauvoo temple eh? (And concerns raised by even members of the Mormon Nauvoo Temple Committee, eh?)
