Now the Mormons Are Accusing Aune and Jones of Groping While Drunk

You ever heard of “Lying for the Lord”? If not, you aren’t a regular reader. Here — from MormonWiki, a wiki by, for and about ~~Mormons~~ one or more evangelical Christians (specifically, Aaron Shafovaloff; Google him) who know(s) far more about Mormonism than the vast majority of rank-and-file Mormons themselves do, or are willing to admit:

Lying for the Lord refers to the practice of lying to protect the image of and belief in the Mormon religion, a practice which Mormonism itself fosters in various ways. From Joseph Smith’s denial of having more than one wife, to polygamous Mormon missionaries telling European investigators that reports about polygamy in Utah were lies put out by “anti-Mormons” and disgruntled ex-members, to Gordon B. Hinckley’s dishonest equivocation on national television over Mormon doctrine, Mormonism’s history seems replete with examples of lying. Common members see such examples as situations where lying is justified. For the Mormon, loyalty and the welfare of the church are more important than the principle of honesty, and plausible denials and deception by omission are warranted by an opportunity to have the Mormon organization seen in the best possible light. This is part of the larger package of things that lead many to describe Mormonism as a cult. “Lying for the lord” is part of Mormonism’s larger deceptive mainstreaming tactics, and conversion numbers would drastically lower if important Mormon beliefs were fully disclosed to investigators.

With that in mind:

The church says the couple were detained and cited for trespassing by the Salt Lake City police because the two men “engaged in passionate kissing, groping, profane and lewd language, and had obviously been using alcohol.”

“There was much more involved than a simple kiss on the cheek,” the church says. …

Who ya think I’m gonna believe? Who you gonna believe — the Liars for the Lord, who’ve been spreading The Six Big Ones (and plenty more filthy, disgusting lies guaranteed to send said liars straight to Hell) about us Horrible Homos way before Prop H8 ever reared its filthy head, or the two guys getting beat down by TPTB of Bigotsville Central, Salt Lake City, USA?

Me, I’d believe Clifford Irving before I’d believe the Mormons.
