Well, I’m not Fonzy baby.

Why don’t you go ask them? How should I know? Brigham Young said lots of things - I happen to think he was a man of his time and it’s plain dumb to demand he conform to modern sensibilities. Frankly, no religious leader in the past, from ANY religion, would be considered credible today. I’m just thinking of how Baptists and other Protestants would treat the leaders on the 19th century who went to war to keep blacks as slaves. Or Calvin and Luther’s intolerant teachings.

Expert on early, first millennium Aramaics, but on Brigham Young...you take a pass. How convenient.

I can think of ONE, of a certain religion, right off the top of my head...
