You know what I love? No one would ever write an article about a psychopathic murderer and mention that he was  "lapsed Baptist" or "once was a Methodist."

But if they're Mormon?  ooooh, suddenly it becomes the most important part of their profile

a lapsed Mormon accused of bludgeoning and dismembering five people in an elaborate extortion racket intended to hasten the second coming of Jesus Christ.


Quote
and take over the leadership of the world's 12 million Mormons himself.



It was kind of an important fact, I mean, they can't just drop that fact because it would destroy the motive.  The motive was directly linked to the Morman religion and therefore is such an extremely important fact that it not only can't be left out, but shouldn't be let out.

at least the article pointed out that he was a "lapsed" Mormon. Sometimes articles don't bother to point out that very important distinction.

Heh.  I think the fact that he was planning to assassinate the leaders of the Church was enough to indicate that point....

lol.  I read this somewhere a week or so back.  Gave me a big chuckle.  I love how these crazies think that they can take over the Church by killing off all of its leaders.  A military coup is SURE to make the faithful believe in you.
