I think its a fetish thing. Opponents to the church are endlessly fascinated by our underwear.

And no, there are no pentagrams on them. Yes, they are of great religious significance to us. Consequently, we do not discuss them with non-members so, our critics literally make up whatever stories they want about what these garments are like safe in the knowledge that we can only deny it. Nice, huh?

Maybe you don’t discuss your Mormon underwear but I just google it and 46,100 discussions (with pictures), so somebody is talking.

I don't understand why pentagrams on your underwear would be offensive to you. You have them on in plain sight on your Temple (even if they aren't the masoic symbols that are stitched on your navel, and nipples.

I don’t talk to anyone except my wife whether I wear boxers or briefs...well and I guess the checkout person at the store knows too. It’s not other peoples business. I don’t know what the fascination with what kind of underwear LDS wear.

It is certain that sooner or later, Romney will address the nation. His task is vastly more complicated than John F. Kennedy’s was on Sept. 12, 1960, when he told the Greater Houston Ministerial Council that as president he would not take orders from the pope.

Romney will no more attempt explaining Mormon theology than Kennedy ventured into Roman Catholic doctrine.

He will do what I suggested he do 17 months ago: deplore a religious test as un-American. ~ Robert Novak

It is quite silly to focus on sacred undergarments as a reason not to vote for someone. But then, there are a lot of really silly people in these United States.

Actually, it calls into question the sanity of electing a Mormon to the presidency. Secret oaths, handshakes, doctrine that can’t be discussed - all make for a presidency riddled with doubt and dark alleys of conspiracy chatter.
