Question
I don’t know if Bill is a member of the LDS faith or not. He talks in terms of “we” implying that he is member. Wheather is or isn’t one thing is clear - he is an enemy of the church and has his own agenda. He reminds me of the warning of false prophets in the later days.
Bill why don’t you start your own religion. You don’t have to worship God you could worship the popular culture. It could be a religion that sways with whatever the current popularity is. You wouldn’t need to worry about the creator of the universe anymore.
