Wow Impressive....an exact replica of the cross Jesus carried right down to the shoulder padding and the wheel at the base...impressive

What a slime you are....

1. He's an older man.... Jesus Wasn't
2. He's also walking 80 Miles..... Jesus didn't.

He wasn't trying to do what Jesus did, but in similitude, in rememberence, in reverence.
You know, those things called Character, that you people don't have.

But this LDS guy is oh so special because he for the first time, ever in history, thought of dragging a cross about.

I see. At the first moment I couldn't even believe he was a Mormon. I think that cross-dragging is an idiotic thing. What are these maniacs expecting? That God applauds them and Jesus will be moved to tears...?

Cross dragging isn't any more idiotic than 2 years of missionary duty or x number of days of fasting for an answer to a question or prayer. Having yourself nailed to a cross does take it a couple of steps beyond.

Edited to add:

Actually I do think that giving up two years for proselytizing for a church is more extreme than dragging a cross for 50 to 100 miles, around the world though, that beats the 2 year mission.

Another low charactered person who doesn't understand language...

In the CONTEXT of the story, he was saying he'd never seen it done by Mormons, in Utah, going to Conference, etc., not that it had never been done anywhere on the planet.
Get a brain.

Nope that is not what he said, and I didn't actually see a person do this until I was 30, but I was quite aware that it happened frequently.

You clearly have no comprehension of what "context" is when people say things often.
He's an old man, of course he's seen it occur in the world.... After all.... Where the heck do you think he got the idea????!!!!!
Thus, the context of the comment was in relation to Conference, Mormonism, etc...... The things being talked about in the interview.
Thus he said he'd never seen it done related to those subjects.

Man, you people. Now you see WHY you are liberals and anti-mormons, because you lose basic intelligence and comprehension skills, which then makes you judge everything and everyone falsely.

The wheel is a vital necessity. Without the wheel, the cross would get shorter and shorter as he drags it around.

Having a wheel and flashers on his back pants pockets makes him roadworthy in Utah.
