... and thank you ... so, you are not saying life is so great because of the "way of life" in Utah, due in large part to the [Mormon religion] that recruiting will improve as a result? And in the religion forum you didn't post:
After linking to an article written by Chase Hansen? I'm the one that can rightfully say: Oh please.
You've forgotten what the discussion was previously about. Mark Few noted that BYU fans act like winning a game will prove that they have a great way of life.
That's pretty funny and spot on.
LA simply said the improved way of life in Utah (because of the LDS church) may be a recruiting tool.
Pretty distinctly different things. Now I don't know I agree that it would matter myself, but many of your fans really do believe that winning games is going to convince people the church is true.

This thread is like when the fam's in the family car, ready to go on the big summer vacation, and the adults go back in the house for one last trip to the restroom, and your little brother jumps in the driver's seat and (somehow) gets the car high-centered on the fire hydrant in front of your house.
The question is, who is the little brother, looking for ...

Slice it however you like, but the fact is LA is validating a way of life in the same manner. You're all part of the same loaf of bread. The only difference is you are slathered in strawberry and not blueberry jam.
Ugh, I hate jam...gross.
“It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.”
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
Yeah. Who the hell uses jam?
Preserves. We're strawberry preserves (and who the hell puts blueberry on anything? Blech)

I always pegged you as a marmalade guy:
To illustrate it further, my dad's favorite joke when Notre Dame is doing well in football is to say, "Wow, did you see Notre Dame beat up <insert school name>? I don't know how to explain it but I find myself drawn to the teachings of the Catholic Church."
The problem is, you guys actually believe that happens at BYU. Many fans actually believe that.
So there really is no slicing it, Few noticed it and so does anyone else who encounters BYU and its fans.
I don't believe it. I think you really want to believe that many fans believe it. Just because you want it to be so, doesn't make it so. What should be more worrisome to you is you appear to be projecting—looking in a mirror:
