Stephen King quote about Twilight

“Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend.”
― Stephen King
I think probably most here would agree with this sentiment, but I don't think we can really blame Stephenie Meyer. She just absorbed the "Young Women Values" that were drilled into her every Sunday and Wednesday - that is, the value of a woman lies in what she can offer to a man.

It's been years since I've read any King, and yet he still cracks me up. Great quote.

Wait. Are you suggesting that finding a worthy priesthood holder to marry in the temple is not the most important thing to do in this life?!?!?!

Call me a feminist (and therefore enemy of the church), but yes.

No. The most important thing in life is to eat as many hot chicken wings dipped in blue cheese dressing as you can without getting fat or having coronary issues. That's the game.
Having a family is OK too, but really, it's all about the chicken wings.

Would you stop it! I don't hate women. I hate some of the women some of the time! That's it!
I love women... as often as I can... without them calling the cops, anyway.

What would Stephen King say about the Bible and Book of Mormon?

I want to sincerely thank
Some Schmo for helping me to decide what to have for dinner.
