McLaughlin Group on Mormons

Ugh. I can’t believe how much mis-information about the church is out there. I’m surprised how many people get their information from anti-Mormon propaganda.

 

Still, it is fascinating to see. Watch the video at the end of this post, or here.  

 

On a political front, I find it interesting that the hard-line left wing call so many people bigots, racist, and discriminatory, while they then turn around and discriminate against certain religions, as illustrated by liberal in the video. And the right wing isn’t much better in their hypocrisy when it comes to their parties’ foundational beliefs. It seems that people are less concerned about who will lead better, and are more concerned by party affiliations and the whole “my team wins” mentality.

Yeah, I was thinking about that a little bit. And also thinking that things make sense if the people would just take a moment and research the items--like the people who think the church is racist really need to read the Book of Mormon and learn their history properly.

I saw an article about the BYU devotional yesterday. The speaker, Dan Robinson, a professor at Oxford (who was not LDS) said, "One need not be defensive about one's faith."

So what we are doing is right and good and we know it and that's enough. We don't have to argue about it, get defensive.

I agree with you.

I'm really confused about what these people are talking about...where did they get the idea that we are racist? and, if you noticed they could not come to any sort of agreement on anything they were talking about, so there must be something wrong with what they're saying.
