Adding a real temple won’t move the needle one way or the other in my opinion. Sure he’ll get a little press if he pulls off the stunt. Big deal. Could just as easily build a studio set to look like a temple. I think Norton is simply trying to defile a sacred place he feels deeply cut him as grossly as he can without murdering someone in an attempt to achieve his own weird agenda.

So, what does that all mean? Nothing. All this does is make Norton feel good (and maybe a little horny).


Sure, but Norton has stood by sexual abuse victims, interviewed with podcasters, openly connected himself to several LDS causes, and at the same time he says he's doing a temple porn film. All that work, that joint work, including the work others have done, will potentially lose considerable credibility because of his association. From now on out.

Well, I can figure you won't be watching lest you get desecrated. I'll gladly check out the flick.

I have no super natural beliefs so all religions are just a different mix of BS that I'm not interested in. In the same way I don't have any attraction to other males but I have no problem being an ally and speaking out against homophobia.

Phaedrus

Let's face it, the porn industry is a dirty business and role playing of all verities is common practice. There is something for everyone in the world of porn. Really, there is something for everyone!

Can you imagine a Catholic priest doing it with a cardinal? Robes and all. Some people would like that. Others not. Same goes for a Stake President stripping down to by with little miss molly 18 year old.

Thank god for porn!

This isn't fighting fire with fire; it's fighting fire with gasoline. Totally unnecessary and in no way productive.

Go Norton, go! The church has temples all over the world -- I foresee foreign copycats exposing the temple and putting it to shame. This is just the beginning. Norton is leading a charge to keep the church in check. The powers of the cult to maintain secrecy are over.

Until Mormonism apologizes for its war against gay marriage and stops worthiness interviews all bets are off as far as I'm concerned and I don't give a rat's ass what vicious antiMormon campaigns take place to discredit the church. Norton is taking it to a new level. War is hell. It is a war! The church fought to keep gay marriage illegal and to impose its personal club values on all others. The church sexually abuses children on a massive level. The church kicked the beehive and now it's getting stung.

Go Norton! Go!!

The rest of the antiMormons need to sit down, shut up, and watch a pro do the job. For God's sake!


I only blasted quickly through your above. You're out of your mind with this. Hopefully you'll read this when that adrenalin rush you got going on is settled down. Because you ought to be as pissed as hell as I am about this.

If this is carried out...

1. You are going to see strong division on the advocacy side.
2. You are going to see Sam distance himself from Mike out of necessity.
3. You are going to see anti Mormons compared to Nazis on account of desecration of a religious building.
4. This has the potential to harm gays even further.

Let me explain a couple of the above comments and I'm going to talk to you like I would eyeball to eyeball. I have nothing to do with the religion. I think that Joseph Smith was a con man and that's about all I have to say. But, I draw the line at desecration of a religious building. It doesn't matter that it's my own because--Nazis, bigotry, hatred, intolerance, religious freedom.

That's^^^^ the short list.

With regard to harming gays. You have to be well aware of the New Testament passages that Christians use to condemn gays. Are you aware that those passages are describing Pagan temple fertility rights and temple prostitution? Now, you'll think immediately of the early days of Mormonism and come back at me with claims. But here's the thing, the LDS Church isn't going to do that, they'll reference those New Testament (and Old Testament) passages, tie them in with this proposed activity Norton is on about and use it to reinforce the November policy.

Here's what else you aren't thinking about. This proposed activity is in direct opposition to the Protect LDS Children movement and will sabotage it by association. The Protect movement is about acknowledging and preventing sexual exploitation and abuse of children and now this stupid damned idiot is planning to come up with video footage sexually exploiting an LDS house of worship and you think that's cool?

Are you damned kidding me? The church will have a hey day with that crap and use it to condemn the Protect movement by association. Every damn thing that Sam Young has worked and sacrificed for is going to be tarnished by this BS temple porn flick. Norton is on video AT Protect actions and press conferences.

The church will gobble that crap up and spit it right back out at the Protect movement, they'll use it to support their November Policy, they'll likely use it to bolster their stupid damned worthiness interviews because let's prevent our youth from going down the same road to depravity or else become temple defiling religiously intolerant sexually depraved people like Norton and Sam (by association) and we better get after our children of gays because god knows we can't foster the proliferation of "gayness" in this world...

and you're having a party over there?

Settle down and think about what Norton is inviting here.

"No way productive" in your view. Your opinion is 100% valid.

But, it's productive in the minds of others who share different viewpoints.

Pull your head out, brother. This is a decidedly bad move on his part.

The only thing on this list that might be true is #2. The other points are a gross exaggeration of the consequences of this potential act.
