Ok, what’s the deal with facial hair beyond mustaches? Just the way the story is written makes ldsers sound robotic and cultish.

One side will be imbibing beer by the gallons; the other, sipping orange juice.

And all wearing the same kind of special undies.

BYU’s fans will probably have graduated from the university as well.

I just saw 2 young men on bicycles near my house. I haven’t seen any of the Morman boys in a very long time.

In the 70s, folks on the Utah State football team said BYU played dirtier than anyone else on the schedule. You just assumed they would cheat, and then BYU would do worse.

From the article: "I hear it all the time, that if you go there, you must be weird, must be part of a cult,” Brule said. "When I tell people I went to BYU, they ask me if I have three wives. That’s been gone for years. It’s a misconception of BYU and the Mormon culture.”

Point #1: It doesn't take a Mormon to "have three wives" -- plenty of divorced men do. (Just one at a time) The difference between a Mormon and non-Mormon with three wives these days isn't the # of wives, it's the expectation of the Mormon that he'll eventually live simultaneously with all three! Lds are unique that way in making the un-Jesus like claim that marriages are forever.

Point #2 re: so-called "misconception of Mormon culture" -- Mr. Brule is the one so misconceiving. He does this in a few ways:

One way is that the flds & other polygamous Mormon break-off sects are still "children" of Mormon culture. (And they still engage in polygamy). Most of these are not ex-Mormons 'cause they were never ex-communicated from the Lds church. They are simply "retro" Mormons -- the way Mormons were 100-150 years ago.

The key point here is that if flds doesn't reflect Mormon culture, then neither does 19th and early 20th-century Mormonism!

Another way Brule "misconceives" Mormon culture is that he forgets that Mormons think "Mormon culture" extends to the afterlife. If that were to be true, then much of "afterlife Mormonism" features polygamy.

Mr. Brule is only thinking about Provo Mormon culture -- which is distinctive even from other concentrated components of Mormon culture. He, therefore, engages on projection.
