Should this Mormon Coroner be fired ?

Yeah, I dont see how his faith impacts his ability to do an autopsy on a dead guy, gay or not. Unless, of course, there is some hidden Mormon prohibition about touching dead gay dudes that we all dont know about....

Well, if it's hidden, it's hidden to us as well.

(I also don't see how any religion can be classified as more "far-fetched" than others. Once you are willing to accept the concept of a divine being of any sort, the rest is just details, and I don't see how something holy happening in Missouri is any weirder than something holy happening in Jerusalem. But that's just me apparently . . . )

That's not what I find weird, what I find weird is the fact that Mormonism actually claims to revere the Bible as a Holy Book even while contradicting it even more obviously than the Catholic Church does, and the whole "Becomming gods" thing.

Have you actually talked with a Mormon about that and understand what they are talking about? I'm just wondering is all.

Not in real life. Briefly in CFC. I still recall to Eran (I think, its possible that it might have been DT) responding to me when I mentioned that verse where Jesus said "The dead are not married" (I'm paraphrasing right now, but I did actually quote the verse in the conversation.) Eran (Again, I think) told me that the point was that there will be a resurrection but basically that Jesus was wrong when he said they won't be married. Sorry, but the God the Son does not make mistakes, and he means what he says. That Mormonism disagrees with something this basically obvious in the Bible shows that it is self-evidently either theologically incorrect, not Christian, or both. I actually gave a not insignificant amount of time to thinking about Catholicism about a year ago. Although, of course, their Biblical errors are relatively obvious as well, they aren't as painfully so as Mormonism's Biblical errors.

I apologize if I caused any offense with this post, which I probably did.

Did he do anything wrong, or did he just speak?

Hey, if you want to discuss the specifics of Mormonism, there is a thread for that. It's linked in my signature and everything.

I don't think anyone has to admit that. I don't personally subscribe to their beliefs about Jesus coming to America, but if anyone could just come to America in the 1st century AD it would be the son of God, yeah?

It was probably easier to go from Palestine to America in 1 AD than today.

So a question for you, where should his loyalty lie, to the crown to whom he swore allegiance or to the Mormon church to for whom he went in front of a select committee to argue as MORMON coroner that gay marriage was wrong ?
Can we trust Mormons to honour their oath of allegiance or should we not take the risk of having Mormons in any position where they are required to take an oath of allegiance the Judiciary, Military etc etc etc ?
