  • Note: Johnson's YouTube channel and website (Creation Liberty Evangelism) is written from an evangelical Christian perspective and is highly critical of the LDS tradition, yet no anti-Mormon content appears in this video. Rather, the video provides valuable footage of the Pageant audience and the 2008 performance.
