Prop 8 Talk in Sacrament?

Hey, look at this:

How about that bishop at the end, huh? What a tool. I mean, I know dissenting opinions are not really allowed in the Mormon church (or pretty much any other), but I’m always kinda dumbfounded when I see this sort of censorship in action.

I really wonder what the congregation thought. Most were probably relieved that someone shut up the mean guy who was making their brains hurt, but I have to wonder he didn’t spark more than a few thoughts.

Todd himself seems to have left the church, according to the video description.

About James Patton

I'm a computer science senior at Utah State, graduating in December 2010, becoming a first-generation university graduate. I'm a co-founder of SHAFT and am off-again on-again active in USU's Linux Club and the ACM (Association of Computing Machinery, a professional organization for computer science). I'm getting increasingly nervous about what to do after graduation, but I'd like to start a software company, and my dream job is making video games for my own studio. I suppose I could say I was "raised atheist", but it honestly never occurred to me until around high school. I grew up in Cache Valley and so am of course familiar with the Mormon church, but my mom never took me to a church, and encouraged me to explore different ideas and make up my own mind. What ended up happening was that I discovered Asimov and Clarke and Sagan, and that was that. My hobbies include voracious reading, gaming (digital, tabletop, whatever), programming, and at one point playing jazz and rock tenor sax (buying a new sax is one of the biggest reasons I need to finish college).
