More Religious Intolerance
While Mormon thinking is changing slowly towards more traditional Christian viewpoints, I am still in the "Mormons as cult" school. They are; however, a large and effective cult. That's why this FOXNews article caught my eye.
There is nothing blatantly, religiously intolerant in what is said in the article, but one wonders what is said behind closed doors. I am reminded of a fight in my howeowner's association where the meeting discussions were all reasonable. But in private conversation my opponents revealed themselves as utter racists. My allies were of a different ethnic origin that myself or the opposition. Sometimes you just wonder.
Mormons in the tiny Southern California mountain town of Running Springs have been trying for seven years to build a new church, but environmentalists keep putting up roadblocks.Of all the liberal/left movements, evironmentalism scares me most. It too easily devolves into earth worship, and its methodology is too socialistic.
