He's campaigning against sex?

Seems lately you've repeatedly attributed actions of which disapprove to the offending person not getting any. I'm wondering what to glean from that.

If anyone has a sign hanging around his neck that says, "Mack down with me so I will lighten up" its Christopher Hitchens.

What Hitchens doesn't realize is that Mormons have been hearing stuff like that for so long that it is cliche. He probably thinks he has said something quite shocking. <yawn>.

He probably doesn't know any Mormons.

You entirely missed my point. Maybe it was too subtle.

I understood you to say he read reviews of Brodie's book. I gave him slightly more credit but not much. IT's still pretty bad if that was his only source, and a secondary one at that. I assume he sprung for the actual book.

Strike two.

I am guessing Mike understood my joke.

The only thing I learned from the article is that he doesn't know how to spell Lehi.

Okay, I got it. I have read Brodie's book, btw. You're still sore I haven't read Bushman.
