    A female student wrote an article criticizing BYU students for worshiping basketball star Jimmer Fredette.

    Link

    In turn, BYU fans flooded her Facebook page and left over 500 Chuck Norris-ist messages in two hours. She has since blocked access from outside, but someone got a screenshot. Some of these were filled with Mormon insider jokes, but quite hilarious.

    Link

    ps. I'm no Mormon, but I'm a "Mormon insider". ;)

    lot of people said something to the effect of, "he's bringing recognition to the church." is he an outspoken mormon?

    He better not be, or I'll get mad (about religion).

    If this thread turns into another pro-religion vs. anti-religion thread, I'll lose all faith in the Hangout.

    No he isn't. He is just a 30 footer draining monster who happened to be Mormon.

    Yeah, he's pretty forthcoming about his faith, and how he joined the Church when he was a kid.

    But, I should add, he is not Tim Tebow-esque.

    I googled her name and came across another one of her opinionated editorials. Good read.

    Clearly this girl has way too much time on her hands. Maybe she would have more work to do if she was in a "smart" major. ;)
