BTW, isn't it strange that this mormon ritual (which affects no one), conducted by mormons in SALT LAKE CITY stirs up so much heat when the mormons were permitted by the Israeli government to desecrate a Jewish holy site in Jerusalem by building one of their institutions on it? Where were these people then? Or is that not as important?
The whole thing smells like another "we don't want Bible-thumpers like you supporting our historically free-thinking, naughty, rebellious people" campaign. Are these same people making any effort to convert Gore Vidal or Ramsey Clark to Zionism? I'm sure they'd much rather be supported by people like them.
If one's word isn't one's bond, there's all manner of bad things that fall out from that.
Last time I looked, there was a mosque on the Temple Mount. When did the Mormons get around to building a temple there?
