The Huffington Post picked up the AP story on the tabernacle fire in Provo. There were 598 comments on the story. Here are a few:

  • Who cares?
  • Oops. (from a Huffington Post Moderator)
  • GOOD!!!
  • It’s punishment to the Mormons for Prop 8!  And I’m only half-jokin­g….
  • New Rule: Organizati­ons that don’t pay taxes to a government have no right to expect services provided by that government (such as firefighte­rs).
  • Historical from what standpoint­? I’m not a fan of religions to begin with, but how the mormons get any credibilit­y is beyond my grasp.
  • How does any cult gain credibilit­y: longevity.
  • Hmmm, that’s a shame.
  • Old Mormon hymn: “The spirit of God like a fire is burning …”
  • Rather less upsetting than seeing an outhouse burn.
  • I wish I could feel more sympathy.. but the whole Mormon Church, funding Prop 8 in California­.. leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
  • Heavens I hope noone’s magic underwear was singed.
  • Awe… too bad so sad.

Thankfully, there were some comments that were blocked. There were many comments justifying their comments because of California’s Prop 8.

Something tells me that if a gay/lesbian center had burned down in Salt Lake, you wouldn’t find such comments in the Deseret News.
