John Dehlin: The New Go-To “Critic” of Mormonism?

By: Geoff J - August 16, 2010

Remember when news organizations had to go with angry ex-Mormons when they wanted to make the Church look bad in their stories? No more! Now they have self-proclaimed active Mormon John Dehlin to turn to. He’ll obviously be happy to do what he can to throw the Church under the proverbial bus. I present you with this recent hot mess on ABC World News:

Way to go Johnny boy. Since the ABC folks were clearly looking for a Mormon-bashing troll, I suppose you were as good of a choice to play that role as anyone right?

Memo to John Dehlin: Next time a major news organization asks you to give an interview, JUST SAY NO. You aren’t helping dude.

Note: Yes, this post is a hastily written knee jerk reaction to the story. Feel free to set me straight if you think I am wrong for not being thrilled with this fiasco (or with anything Dehlin produces or touches for that matter).
