I'm not a fan of this particular plan. That's an understatement.

Here’s a thought experiment since we don’t know what type of porn will be made. What type of porn would you be willing to endorse on temple grounds from softcore to hardcore?

For instance, the porn stars could simple sneak into the temple and do some lesbian kissing porn. No nudity. Just two girls in temple garb kissing in the celestial room. If the intent of Norton is to further the conversation, that’s what I would suggest. Having two girls kiss in the temple could give hope to the gays of the church that one day they might be able to experience the same joy in the temple.

It’s intersting to think about using porn like this to engage dialogue.

I mean, since we're at it. Let's film the lesbians doing blow off the alter and taking a crap in the hallway. That way we can really drive home the point of how edgy the symbolism of desecrating a people's sacred space is, since, you know, they desecrated our hearts or souls or minds or bodies or wallets, or... whatever.

crap, man. Let's bring a pig onto the grounds and blow its brains out. Why not? “F” it. Apparently we live in a world where no standards are allowed to exist, everything is just a post-modern construct, and we're speaking Truth to Power by being appalling.

You know what'd be really edgy? How about we load up a cement truck with fertilizer, and then ram it through the front doors while their sessions are at full capacity, and then blow a whole temple up? I mean, the Church really hurt our feelings, so it's time some psychotics hurt them back, right?

Holy fuckballs. If people can't see how wrong what Mike Norton is planning they need some serious therapy. Jesus Christ.

Okay, hold on there! I'm all for the strip acts on the altar and doing nasty things at the altar and even doing poo poo on the hallways -- but who the hell said anything about blowing the temple up? That's the furthest thing from my sick little mind. But apparently not yours! Wow.

Neither am I for blowing a pig's brains out but if they want to bring one on the set for mascot purposes only, I think that's pretty creative. Wouldn't you say? You're being a bit extreme, Doc. You're all over the place, dude. Man!

Where's the line, Shulem? Let's find out where your line is drawn. What is exactly acceptable in your ex-Mormon playbook?

So somehow you went from lesbians kissing no nudity to blowing up a temple full of innocent people. And I’m the one that needs therapy? :rolleyes:

I think rape and violence are definite lines that cannot be crossed. Consensual sex of whatever kind is pretty much standard fare and acceptable -- all persons involved must be at least 18 years old. Let them screw, kiss, twist, turn, lick -- whatever. You know the drill.

This sounds reasonable to me. A temple endowment room could serve as a backdrop for all kinds of passionate presentations and doesn't necessarily have to include sex or even nudity. Could just be a message of love and expression between two persons or even a threesome if you want to make it really fun.

Okay, so there you have the lines. No violence. No rape.

Sounds reasonable enough to me.

If it makes any of you feel better, most on reddit are suggesting those that gave Norton a recommend call their bishops and have them canceled. I think that’s an appropriate response.

How about shooting a goat on temple grounds? I'm just trying to figure out your left and right limits since you're ok with lesbians kissing inside their temple. Are lesbians good to have sex?
