duck you
(Moderator Note) Since I have had to split yet another one of your posts in the Doctrine thread for breaking the rules after being sufficiently warned, and since you seem to not have any type of respect for the board, or for the board moderators, I think it's time you took a week break. Try and get yourself under control when you come back.
So, a man who manipulated an entire country into condoning/committing/ignoring genocide and forcefully taking over much of europe would not be considered an "unparalleled leader"?
OR...are you saying
You don't agree that Hitler made "a few potentially-racist comments and some doctrinal curiosities"...
What exactly should I be embarrassed about?...I don't believe Hitler was a "prophet"...I certainly don't believe anything as crazy as your belief that BY, the polygamous-mini-tyrant, was taking orders from some space dwelling demi-god named elohim...talk about embarrassing...remind me again what Brigham said about the "negros"....

I would be very embarrassed had I compared Brigham Young to Adolf Hitler.

I can understand why you would be embarrassed if you had to acknowledge that Adolf Hitler and Brigham Young are not all that different as "unparalleled leaders", racist douche-bags and tyrannical-control feaks....I am sorry that you feel the need to believe that a disgusting and despicable human being, like Brigham, is a prophet of the god you worship, elohim (although you should be more embarrassed by the fact that you worship the space-dwelling-deity "elohim")...
That said, I understand why you might be embarrassed by such relevant parallels - I am sure its a bummer when most people don't revere/adore the people that you consider "prophets, seers and revelators"...sucks for you, but hey, people believe crazier things...neck-beard fetish?

I understand that you're intentionally changing what I actually said, but let me reiterate it: if you think that you can reasonably compare Brigham Young to Adolf Hitler, that is intellectually embarrassing because it means you must know next to nothing about one or both of those figures.

It is one thing for those so called "intellectual" Mormons to admit that mistake were made (this really is a big and praiseworthy step) and another thing for those charged with perpetuating a uniform Church stance to ever admit to mistakes.
The truth is every human being is flawed, but that will never make it past the correlation review process.

Wow...so much substance...Yes, I agree that its embarrassing for you that you have decided to revere a man as disgusting, racist and manipulative as BY (I get that its hard for you to accept the similarities between BY and Hitler...if only BY had an entire country to control instead of some tiny group of desperate immigrants)...
But hey, you are correct....BY wasn't actually smart/cleaver/competent enough to actually motivate an entire country to submit to his crazy desires (although he convinced dozens on women to submit to his "priesthood")...He had to ride on Joe's coat-tails in order to manipulate a group of gullible marks to follow him to the "promised land"...lol...
Anyone that actually respects Brigham is a tool...but hey...all pseudo-religions need gullible minions...good on ya!!
