What year does he think this is, 1857? It's safe to cross the Utah territory these days, dude.

I'm just saying the Mormon church has been on the wrong side of every social issue for its entire history.

You're not wrong. One of my closest and longest friends is an ex-Mormon. He was still practicing when I first met him, although he was clearly very skeptical of the organization, so I learned quite a lot about it. Magic underwear and everything.

I remember being super young Mormon kid and multiple adults at church independently telling me stories about school shooters asking you if you are Mormon with a gun pointed at you and the adults telling me that I should not be afraid and still tell the shooter that I am Mormon.

Those insane adults would have been so validated by this news story about this insane adult.
