Those who knew the boy who died, how come you are wasting time on the internet? As for starting another thread, again, I think it is totally appropriate to discuss the belief system of a Mormon who died while proselytizing.
I didn't claim to know the boy. I have sympathy for his family and friends and appreciation for those posters here who used it as a forum to send prayers to heaven for the boys and their families. I do believe that was the original point of the post and many latched onto it immediately. I don't believe that it is appropriate to bash a religion during an announcement of a tragedy involving that religion's preachers. I don't believe I have seen that same reaction on some of the other posts involving religious people, like the family gunned down in their airplane in South America, or the preacher who was electrocuted accidentally, or Christians murdered in foreign countries.
As I said earlier, I believe there is a time and place for everything and this isn't the place for Mormon bashing, especially in the disrespectful tones you and a few others are using. Understand that symbols of a religion (including what you call "funny underwear" or "magic eyeglasses") are sacred to that religion and ought to be treated with some modicum of diplomacy whether you accept their sacred nature or not.
