On the one hand, members of the LDS should feel the joy of Giants fans, because Hinckley is now in a better place. Otherwise, aren't they missing the point of the teachings of the church? On the other hand, I think that Patriots fans may be feeling some of what those mourners are feeling. But then again, since I'm posting here, I've got to be apathetic. In fact, I'm so apathetic that I almost didn't post.

Hinckley's funeral. don't get me wrong, i DO believe that this was a compassionate man who tried to live a godly life. regardless of the ego-centric energy that oozes from proclaiming to be "the one true church", he was truly an example of tolerance and kindness. that said, why should the passing of a prophet of god be such an INSANELY big deal- he's only returning to finally speak to god face-to-face, instead of the prayer-phone he used while here on earth (they say the prophet communes directly with god...they say lots of things...) this has been front-page news for a full six days now & the coverage is beginning to be nauseating to me (a third ex-mormon, third present unitarian & third apatheist) check it out and let me know if not caring would be tough to do in slc. oh, and as for the superbowl goes... i REALLY could care absolutely no less than i already do (sorry pat.'s fans!)
