The protection associated with the garments is meant to be a spiritual one, and it is something that (like the Promise Keepers) is special and Holy to LDS members. It is really beneath you, as a Christian, to make fun of something someone else, who holds your same moral values, and commitment to Christ Jesus, holds dear and holy. But that is just my opinion.

Anyway, just as with any follower of Christ, IE. an individual who accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, and who makes a true commitment as evidenced by their "fruit" (by their fruit ye shall know them), and if they try to live according to Christ's commandments (if ye love me, keep my commandments), then Christ Himself promises "protection" in the form of the Comforter, and "Peace to their souls".

The promises associated with those garments are along those very lines and are really not something that ought to be made light or fun of IMHO.

Anyhow, not looking for some bash or arguement (which I will not do because, as with all matters of true faith, it is not subject to hue and cry and contention), just trying to lend some perspective as a card-carrying member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Hmmm...

If I have an 'opinion'; then I guess it won't be 'making fun'; will it?

Some seem to disagree:
