Bc, glad to hear that your opinion of us hasn’t changed (although you haven’t explained what that opinion is. 😉 )

I do think there is enough commentary on the play, though, for people to be able to form opinions about it. For some, as you say, it’s entertainment. But for others, it’s offensive, and there is enough in reviews for many of us to know that before seeing it. In my mind, I’m actually as uncomfortable (if not more so) with the profanity, racism, and sexual stuff that I have heard about than I am about them bringing Mormonism into the picture.)

FWIW.

It’s just entertainment and I have seen the play and thought it was hilarious. It doesn’t change my view of mormons at all. Why don’t you actually see the play before judging it?

And yes, these men have insulted Muslims and Mohammed and have been received death threats. So I guess they have “the guts”.

I am not a Mormon but I do feel that to mock anyone’s beliefs to the point of slanderous and vile theatrics is nothing short of crude. There are those of us non Mormons who believe these men have crossed the line. I am sorry for their actions. I am sure they do not have the guts to make any comments about Muslims for fear of a beheading.

I was very impressed by the Church statement. Thanks for posting this.
