The BJM Delivers, The Peoples Temple, and The Mighty Magical Vanishing Airplane Safety Test
So...If pergatory does in fact exist, I suspect it will be a slightly out of focus version of Salt Lake City.
Everyone I encountered in Salt Lake was waiting to go someplace else...from the Mormon Missionaries in Temple Square, to the bums on 600 street, to the lost souls sitting quietly and empty in the SLC Greyhound station. Some waiting for ( Read more... )

the LDS faith is... incredibly interesting. i sort of feel like an apostate mormon, because of all i know about it (including some stuff I shouldn't, I suppose), and because i feel like I have a shared background with Bryan.

It's an incredibly interesting and complex religion, and even if I throw away 99 percent of it, there's still that 1 percent that makes you go "hmm... I could see that."
It's weird though, not believing, and still loving them fiercely. I feel like I need to have my own views against it, but when people make cracks at it without any knowledge about it, or say that Mormon practice polygamy (which is obviously not true as any who are found to be polygamists right now are excommunicated) just annoys me. Learn things! Expand yourself!!
I'm glad you got to see Temple Square. You should see it at Christmas, it's just beautiful... floating candles in the reflecting pond, the spires stark against the sky, and the trees with lights. Very very beautiful. And yes, all the pretty LDS sister missionaries do seem to gravitate to Temple Square...
Funny how that works :)
