I read a “Public Forum Article” (letter to the editor, I guess) today on The Salt Lake Tribune website. I should have known better — The SL Tribune has a knack for making my blood boil with rage and I am usually smart enough to keep away, however the headline pulled me in, and against my judgment I read it, and now I’m mad.

The “Article” complains about the LDS church, specifically the decision to post new signs on Temple Square informing the public that Temple Square is privately owned property.

The signs were posted in response to a previous incident in which a church security officer forcibly escorted two homosexual blockheads from Temple Square because they were drunk and refused to stop being romantic with each other on the temple grounds in front of God and everyone else.

The church was criticized for being hostile and overstepping its authority. Editorial reporting by biased media outlets (Tribune included) didn’t help matters much.

So in response, the church has thoughtfully decided to remind the public that they are on private property while visiting Temple Square and that being there is not a right.

The so called Article in the Tribune — clearly written by someone of limited intelligence, attacks the church (yet again), calling it laughable, deplorable, arrogant, and hypocritical.

Of course, the article inspired a litany of rude comments from mindless antagonists and morons of epic imprudence who’s sole desire in life appears to be to publicly attack the church. They complain endlessly about how the church runs everything, discriminates against everyone, and preaches fairness and acceptance while practicing the opposite, blah, blah, blah… Oh give me a break! Somebody call the whaaaaaaaaambulance.

It’s interesting to note how much hatred and intolerance is directed towards the church by people who are supposedly champions of tolerance and acceptance. Talk about hypocritical.

So here’s my take, and what I wrote in the comments section for their filthsome, loathsome article:

“It’s one thing to be homosexual, it’s another thing to go into a place and act in a way that offends and upsets those around you and then expect to be welcomed with open arms.

If I came into your house and behaved in a rude and disrespectful way, offended your family, and displayed a total lack of sensitivity and a brazen disregard for the sanctity of your home, you would probably throw me out, and rightfully so!

The LDS church has been forced into this position by the acts of an inconsiderate few. If you don’t like the traditions of the LDS church — which settled the SLC valley and was here long before you — then stay home or find somewhere else to go where people don’t care if you act like a jerk.

But, if you insist on being a thorn in the church’s crown, then don’t expect to be welcomed. It’s as simple as that.

When I come to your house, whether or not I agree with your beliefs and traditions, I will be respectful and behave myself. Can’t you do the same?

All it takes is a brain, folks! (…short supply around here…)”

I’m sure I’m being flamed at this very moment, but hey: when evil hates you, you’re on the right track.
