FAQS looks for things to be offended by and then calls any critic of his religious doctrine a bigot. Most of the LDS members that I know are not like him. Programs about extreme groups like FLDS shouldn't cause offense to LDS members. The LDS church does shoot itself in its own foot at times, like this recent seer stone. The understanding that the Book of Mormon came from a rock in a hat isn't going to help non-LDS public think better of the LDS doctrine, but attitudes and understanding about members of the LDS faith are often separate from the doctrine and teachings. Everyone knows that polygamy is associated with Mormonism and most reasonable people also understand that members of the LDS church do not practice polygamy today. FAQS is being too sensitive if a program about an extreme group of polygamists makes him think that the LDS church is being picked on.
Your fantasy's of me are not reality, and you clearly don't know what you're talking about.
Hell on Wheels isn't displaying some "extreme group of polygamists", it portray's the actual LDS Church, Brigham Young and all.
Further debunking your claim, is I made clear I'm well aware and fine with the occasional negative, false, fiction thing with religion, even my religion, that's story telling after all. But like I said, the entire show in nearly every way is stupid concerning Mormonism and Mormons.
Anyway, stop confusing my pointing out anti-mormon bigotry and lies in relation to almost every word you utter on a daily basis about Mormons and Mormonism, with my simply pointing out vast misrepresentation on a TV show.
Anyway, read the link I gave, and see how off in neverland the show goes. It's a great read.
