In his 3/12/08 letter to the editor, Nate Bowler complains that people are posting “anti-Mormon” comments in the on-line version of the Salt Lake Tribune. Nate, who identifies himself as a Latter-Day Saint, requests that the comment feature be turned off.
Nate Bowler’s whiny request is sooooo typical of the Utah Mormon mindset which includes these common beliefs:
1-Critics should be silenced.
2-Anything remotely unfavorable to the church is “ANTI-MORMON” and should be quickly labeled as such.
3-Balance is not required or desired. Everything in print should sing the unending praises of Jesus’ true cult.
4-Jesus has one true church. All other opinions are of Satan and should be held with the appropriate contempt.
5-Mormons are the moral majority and have the right, or even duty, to correct the misinformed.
6-Free speech should be allowed so that people can freely praise the church. Other forms of free speech are unnecessary.
7-The Mormon church is responsible for everything good in Utah and nothing bad. If you feel the church may be associated with something negative please refer to point two above.
8-Opinions other that the correct Mormon opinion are invalid, offensive, and not worthy of voice.
9-The Mormon church has never done anything to be ashamed of. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!!!!
