This nugget of Christlike wisdom was found in the off-topic forum. All signs indicate this was an earnest opinion.
Is this LDS conservatism in action? Didn't he claim to be a bishop or something.

How LDS worldview inspires Christlike perspective
when believers want to give their claims more weight, they dress these claims up in scientific terms. When believers want to belittle atheism or secular humanism, they call it a "religion". -Beastie

I think Bc was joking about the eastern seaboard cities. It is not like his pronouncment about homosexuals. I think he has mellowed since then.
by the way, has LDS conservatism ever attempted to claim it was Christ-like? Maybe Ayn Rand-like or Gordon Gecko-like, but not Christ-like. Judge them solely by their own standards not your own.
