John Dehlin as Oscar Romero
Re: John Dehlin as Oscar Romero
Oscar Romero? The OP has got to be parody, right? I mean, Cesar Romero, maybe:
"The Church is authoritarian, tribal, provincial, and founded on a loosely biblical racist frontier sex cult."--Juggler Vain
"The lds church is the Amway of religions. Even with all the soap they sell, they still manage to come away smelling dirty."--Some Schmo

Damnit Darth. You're going to make me split the incisions from my recent appendectomy. Lmfao.
Though. I would say the comparisons of Dehlin say little about the intellectualism in the Church and say a ton about the intellectualism among the dehlinites.
It's not the church that is equating dehlin with charlie hebdo or Oscar Romero.

"Rocks don't speak for themselves" is an unfortunate phrase to use in defense of a book produced by a rock actually 'speaking' for itself... (I have a Question, 5.15.15)

Funny thing is, when I first saw the title of the thread, I mistakenly envisioned Cesar Romero. I clicked on the link expecting a parody thread.
Someone please tell me it really is.
It's around the time that anything John Dehlin has done gets compared to liberation theology that you realize the bar for intellectualism in the LDS Church is so low as to be on the ground.
But yeah, equating that organization's silly little paternalistic discipline system to being a martyr is not at all the most maudlin hyperbole anyone can think of.
Maybe Kate Kelley is the Diane Fossey of the LDS Church.

Re: John Dehlin as Oscar Romero
Poe's law again? It's impossible to distinguish between genuine extremism and a parody of extremism?
Does anyone really know if the OP is a parody or genuine?
I know Darth walked out of a sales pitch for the benefit of a nation. That part I got. Darth Juarez!

He is Charlie and Romero.
Wow.
I think this may be John's response to you, Mr. Elephant.
Whew!
I'm relieved to realize it was a parody.
Right?
