Seriously, viole? We've had this conversation before, and I've explained before that we do not believe our underwear to be magic. The fact that you are once again asserting that we do makes me wonder if (1) you're just a slow learner, (2) you think I'm lying about our beliefs, or (3) you think I'm just uninformed about them. Which is it?
Among the LDS Church’s fifteen highest ranking leaders (the “First Presidency” and the “Quorum of the Twelve Apostles") are eight men with doctorate degrees from Harvard, Yale, Purdue, and Duke. Three are lawyers, one of them a former Supreme Court Justice and law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice, Earl Warren, another the associate general counsel of what is now Bank of America in Charlotte, N.C., one a heart surgeon and the former president of the Society for Vascular Surgery and chairman of the Council on Cardiovascular Surgery for the American Heart Association, several who were professors at Stanford, Texas Tech and the University of Chicago, one of them being a university president. One was the former senior vice president of Lufthansa Airlines. One was on the staff of Adm. Hyman Rickover, developing military and private nuclear power reactors. One was the CEO of a major California health care system. If you think for one minute that any of these individuals believes his underwear to be magical, think again.
Throughout history, people of various religions have worn sacred clothing that is both special and meaningful to them alone. Often times, this clothing may be visible to others, because it is worn on top of other clothing. Examples of such sacred clothing are beads, shawls, and special head-coverings. In other situations, this special clothing may be worn under one's outer clothing, next to the skin. The Jewish tallit katan, for example, is a white garment worn under the clothing in remembrance of the Lord's commandments (see
Exodus 19:6,
Numbers 15:38 and
Deuteronomy 22:12). It is similar in purpose to the LDS temple garment.
I honestly do think you have it in you to be more respectful. Would you mind at least trying?
