Religious types tend to get hung up on evil social, fashion, etc. trends that portend all sorts of calamities, moral degradation, collapse of society, etc. In almost all cases, the trends march onward and none of the calamitous events ever actually happen. This'll be the case hundreds of years from now; religious nutcases will be frothing at the mouth over the same kinds of things predicting the fall of civilization.
BY was a religious nut and a megalomaniac nut to boot. Why does anyone in the 21st century give a s*** what this moron had to say?
God . . . "who mouths morals to other people and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, . . . and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites this poor, abused slave to worship him ..."

I agree. This is so much more interesting than 90-year old guys droning on about faith, love, charity, and tithing while drooling all over the pulpit. Much moreinteresting to hear Hinckley talk about where his pants zip and his private parts are between him and the lord.
Problem of course is can you imagine the bombshell that would follow such a talk. The only time I've heard such direct and blunt counsel was in closed meetings. Back then most meetings were limited to the Saints and a few visitors. Not so anymore.

Yeah, people were screaming for years that Rome was going to fall because of social changes. Thank goodness those doom and gloom people fell along with the rest of the Empire.

The only closed meeting nowadays is Priesthood session. Maybe Levi's aren't considered fornication pants anymore. Maybe that's an exampe of Brigham speaking as a man.
