Mormon Beefcake

My Grandmother was a wise old Methodist who used to tell me," If it looks like a lemon, smells like a lemon,tastes like a lemon all the sugar in the world won't change the fact that it's a lemon." My opinion is that it doesn't matter what religion these people are. When you listen to the Hardy guy all you hear is someone after fame and fortune hiding in noble nonsense. The young men have been fooled by a self promoting con man. The thing is by all accounts by everyone that has commented about this thing, the calendar is "soft porn" . The article touches on that, no question about it. So as my Grandmother said, all the bull**** in the world isn't going to make it something other than what it is. Face it, it's soft PORN!
If that floats your boat fine. But quit insulting those of us that can see through Mr. Hardy's B.S. I feel sorry for the young guys. They are a part of this maverick's plan to shake things up and renew the world's view of the church. Well you know what, so far from the feed back I've personally heard around here, the only this people are saying is,"There really is a sucker born every minute. Poor boys, they worked so hard for two years only to undo everything in the camera flash."

What is the difference between this and Dancing With The Star's Julianna Hough doing a swimsuit shot? That swim suit she was in was not at all conservative and she claims to stick pretty close to those LDS roots.

DUDE!!! WHERE CAN I GET ONE?!?!?!?!?

SCUUUUUUUUUUUU-WWWWWWWIIIIIIIING!!!!

it just goes toshow that fanatical religous sects can and will conitue to dictate what it moral and what is not. really what do you expect from a group that allow sects of the own base faith to have multi wife families?or think gay are sick,or people of color are now ok? how about you earn three dollars and you need to give the church a dollar( to fund the support of all these wounderful values)
i say hopfully if we ignor the mormons they may slowly lose there power and go away like there crazy founders

Hey, tha8, could you stop spamming? And to you good mormons saying people are lying about your beliefs i.e. polygamy, I live in mormonville, I've seen with my eyes. The mormons up here may be different than you city mormons. In some of these towns the mormons literally control the town so needless to say they may act differently than in other regions. That said, I ain't hatin'! Especially not you, Mr. Oct.! Muy caliente!!

Argue, Argue, Argue, go get a life, get real, or make friends! Have a good day! ;)

The most obnoxious thing about the gentleman producing and selling these calendars is that he pretends to do it under the guise of "reaching out" and "building bridges." What he's really doing is exploiting a church known for chastity and morals (look up the definitions if you don't know what those words mean) and using the shock effect to make money. "We give proceeds to charity..." what a load. Don't try to cover up what you???re really doing by acting like you care about the image of the LDS church. .

Comment: The LDS church may be "misunderstood" simply because they expect the whole world to accept the Book of Mormon in the same way the Bible is accepted. Unfortunately there is no supporting data to show that the Book of Mormon ever existed prior to Joseph Smith. In fact, Pre-Columbian history, culture, linguistics and technology which have been well documented are completely incompatible with the civilizations described in the Book of Mormon. Why should we, the secular world, that have spent hundreds of years researching the Bible from a historical and archaelogical perspective be expected to accept at face value a book that just popped up from Mr. Smith one day. No thanks. Need a bit more info here.

" Sterling Moss McMurrin was the E.E. Erikson distinguished professor of history at the university of Utah, Emeritus, where he also served as Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Letters, Academic Vice-President and Provost. His field was the Philosophy of History and the History of Philosophy. He served as United States Commissioner of Education under John F. Kennedy in the early 1960's and Professor McMurrin is the author of many books on the philosophy of religion including, The Theological Foundations of the Mormon Religion which has been in press constantly since 1965 and The Philosophical Foundations of Mormon Theology since 1959. This is the story of the LDS Church's excommunication proceedings against him--a must read for anyone interested in the subject of LDS excommunication.

Foolkiller (4:00 p.m.) I agree. I like the Buddhist philosophy; their religion is kindness, compassion, and nonviolence. No wars, no killing, no feeling superior to other religions and claiming a person is going to Hell if they don't accept their religion. They are tolerant towards other religions and don't send people out to convert anyone. They say to study the religion first, and if they like what they see and hear, then join if you want. No passing the collection plate around; if you want to donate money, you can, but there's no mandatory 10% tithe. I guess they don't believe anyone can buy their way into Heaven. I respect that. Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are all from the same origin, and I don't mean to sound critical but they seem to like war and killing. I am not a Buddhist, by the way and I don't speak for Buddhists. I was raised in the Episcopal church.
