I tried hard not to lay blame on one party or the other in my original post because I believe that both sides of the aisle engage in the behavior your describe. The fact that more active members seem to be Republicans these days does make it seem like they are less tolerant.

And it is interesting that they throw cherry picked, taken out of context scriptures around to support their position. (Which is what our enemies do to us to prove our doctrine is wrong) <br />The talk that LDS by ex-members, non-members and others that LDS people, as a whole, are intolerant has shown to be true with this election.JRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8266009681076554415.post-76958396347029545242012-11-15T07:53:28.988-05:002012-11-15T07:53:28.988-05:00Paul, these are good thoughts, clearly stated, and...Paul, these are good thoughts, clearly stated, and much needed right now.

The saddest part of this whole business is that it's caused me to feel degrees of hatred in my heart for fellow Saints just because I strongly disagree with their political positions and how they present them. And I could name a dozen people on the 'nacle and in my own circle of friends who have manifested similar hatred towards me or towards people on the "other side" for the same reason. If there's anything more antithetical to the ideal of Zion I can't possibly imagine what that is!Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520318169658542111noreply@blogger.com
