Amen sista! I’m not mormon, I’m a Christian, but I do not think it is right for others to bash a belief when they have not even looked into it. I KNOW that Jesus is the only way, but I am not going to go around bashing people who think otherwise.

I’m going to spread the love, not the hate. You can’t win people over with hate.

It's really a good thing that we have you to stick up for us! Because some of us (me) have a hard time keeping our mouths closed before we loose it. It's also a good thing that the other author (really bored or crazy) lady is not allowing any more comments (or at least not mine). What I typed wasn't very nice. Thanks for putting our thoughts so eloquantly, so the crazies like me don't have to be heard! Erikas last blog post..Thanks Gretchen

I have not read all the replies to your post and maybe someone has mentioned this already…I just finished taking a children’s lit course and one of the critics we read several times believed that Chris Van Allsburg’s The Polar Express is really about a Nazi Youth Rally. For real.

As one commenter noted- you can find any message you want.

The Polar Express= Nazi Youth Rally? I don’t think so.

Stephanie Meyer= Racist? Um…no.

You keep up the good fight Casey!

Ha! Racist! That’s one I would’ve never expected!

Can I just mention that the scripture (that she apparently RESEARCHED) is wrong. It’s in the Book of Mormon 2 NEPHI 5:21 AND it doesn’t say BLACK but blackness. AND Jacob was a NEPHITE. There was no main Jacob as a Lamanite nor was there a Jacob as a Lamanite PERIOD. AND the quote from Brigham Young was a false one made by anti-mormons. Wrong, wrong, wrong just like the rest of her writing on this topic. Boy, I think she made more mistakes than Stephenie Meyer’s books had in editing problems.

Ugh! I just love it when people have nothing better to do with there time than to put down, falsify, or speak negatively about things they don’t understand or don’t like. Especially when it comes to big things like this. Isn’t this Alisa (?) the one who is a racist? Racist against Mormons.

I think it was clear by the way Meyer wrote Jacob’s character that she was quite fond of him, as was Bella and endless readers of the series, regardless of the color of his skin. I think it’s unreal the arguments people will dig up, with no sound basis whatsoever. Good for you for speaking up and speaking out.

I will never understand the need to pick on the Mormon religion. Okay, the sects in Texas with 17 underage wives, that I get, but honestly, my best friend in high school was a Mormon, I attended church events with her all the time and honestly, I’ve never met a group of people that genuinely nice. I never encountered and unkind mormon despite the fact that I was a devout Catholic and made no bones about it.

My Mormon friend even flew from Utah to California to come to my Sunday evening half-Jewish wedding.

I really love when evangelical, non-denominational Christians rag on Mormons. Because, yea, that’s TOTALLY what Jesus would do.

You know, Casey, anyone can read anything into anything if it’s deep enough in their heart. I think the only person who could find racism in a children’s mythology book is probably a racist, and isn’t it easier to pick on the under-dog, “weirdo” religion, and blame THAT, then admit that maybe you aren’t quite at peace with the whole race issue?

I really wouldn’t waste any more breath on that woman or her ridiculous projections.

A follow up comment on Ms. Valdes-Rodriguez’s blog. Not sure if she’ll accept it or not.

I’m sorry, but were the characters in Tolkein’s novels described as they were because Mr. Tolkein “supposedly” grew up in a racist culture? I must have missed that.
How about the fact that Ms. Meyer doesn’t include lewd descriptions of sex, vulgar language, four letter words, or the fact that they wait until marriage to sleep together? That you can “blame” on her (our) religion.
Bella chose the vampire because it’s a vampire love story. Bella chose the vampire because she fell in love with the vampire. It has nothing to do with the vampire being prettier.
Have you noticed that the werewolves all have different color of fur? From light sandy brown to light gray? The boss wolf is black, what does that mean?
I’m sorry if I sound so snippy, but you’re wasting an awful lot of time on a fruitless endeavor with the attitude you have about it.

Everybody’s religion gets picked on. I don’t care what people think of my religion, it’s mine, not yours. It’s for me, not for you. Of course, if it’s necessary to defend, I do, I correct the misunderstanding. No doubt they got the information from a friend who got it from a friend and it’s all wrong. They speak in ignorance so I don’t expect much.
