Everything house has said is documented in the church's own history...often in JS's own handwriting. Mormons are afraid to find out what the true history of the church really is....and even if they read it, they would deny it. Bu then, people are very gullible about such things. I mean, we use to believe the earth was flat as well...

Glad I found it. First, happy blog birthday, Tim. Second, I was interested in this episode. (The drinking one) I was interested to see how the gentleman reacted to what House had to say. House always has a convincing argument. Although I was surprised to see the gentleman go ahead and drink the alcohol, I understood his reasonings. With that in mind, I probably would have made the same choice. I agree, that all life is sacred, and I see House's point for the reason he wanted the gentleman to drink the alcohol. I was glad to see the gentleman put up a fight in the name of his beliefs and to refuse to drink, but I do not feel he was wrong to change his mind after hearing what House had to say. When it comes down to it, this choice would have been between the gentleman and God. And personally, I don't know that God is so black and white He would have sent the gentleman to Hell for this. I don't think this episode made all Mormons look bad. The weak ones maybe, but the strong ones will still resist temptation. In fact, I agree with Brian M- this might bring up opportunities for discussion and open some doors for us to share what our beliefs are and WHY. As for Ian and your comments, I am interested to hear what you have heard and where you have heard it from. . . What an interesting post to stumble upon. Glad I found it.

I respect your opinions and feelings. Religion is a personal subject and each of us needs to explore for ourselves what is the right thing for us to believe.

I mean, don't get me wrong, it's a nice religion, if you are all about being good to people and loving thy neighbour, but the entire religion is based on a lie. Even more so than any other. So yes, it is very easy to ridicule it. Well, maybe the mormon religion is ridiculed because it’s so easy to do so?

I won't hear that in the name of entertainment. I am done with it completely. Feel that the wrath that "shall be epoured out without mixture upon the whole earth" has just become a little more real.

Yeah, the prayer over the patient because she was wearing a cross was odd. At least it promoted the fact that Mormons are Christians!

I haven't seen 10/23's episode yet. It's on the DVR so tonight. Dave, what you mention does sound odd. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

It was extremely odd, something someone of the LDS faith would never say. It painted an inaccurate and "mystical" portrayal of Mormons.

Of course House would have to take some shots, he wouldn't be true to his character otherwise. However, I thought the Mormon did a good job setting the record straight on LDS beliefs. I actually wonder if there is a LDS writer on staff. And I also didn't think that it was so horrible for him to go ahead and drink the alcohol- it wasn't as if he was doing it to get drunk- it was to save a life. I think it was a personal choice gray area situation, and didn't think it painted LDS members in a bad light. I am looking forward to any more future exchanges- if he last that long!
