BYU should be renamed- not gonna happen

Post by msnobody »

I was just watching the news and early arrival BYU football fans were being interviewed. All I could think is that the school is named after someone caught up in sexual sin. The church has renounced polygamy. Yet, the average church member is made to feel condemned if they masturbate.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is in a great state of non-repentance. May the Lord in His mercy, open eyes, remove blinders, and regenerate hearts. I hope I get to see it in my lifetime.

Perhaps they feel the prosperity is still bound to Brigham Young despite his sins -- he was an imperfect vessel, just like you can believe Donald Trump brings prosperity to the world despite his sexual sins -- and a few others -- and there is no need for rebranding the Republican party over it?
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.

Trump? Wonder if they might be tempted to rename the school DTU? Many LD Saints are calling him the "One mighty and strong".

Perhaps they do feel that way.
