“I have known all my life the results of being hated for my religion and like most others- I am what I am because I was born who I was born”
Touching post. You will, judging from where this is going, have plenty of company on the thread. Those blinded by their own purity and piety will never rest until everyone “not like them” is marginalized, and they and everyone “like them” are ascendant.
They’ll invoke God, they’ll claim a Constitutional basis for their opinions, but mostly they’ll claim they are doing Gods work.
This tribalism is disgusting. I defend any Americans free-expression of their chosen religion. Those attacking Mormons for having beliefs of their own would be equally comfortable in a different time, shoving your father in a gas-chamber, stoning those less pious than them to death, hosting an Auto da fe, drowning witches or whatever other period context you wish to choose to showcase the lowest order of humanity from which few of us have historical exception through the march of mankind. Such is the insanity of the crowd.
These people sully the purpose of noble causes from which they derive their supposed legitimacy. In this case it’s Conservatism, or Constitutionalism. I reject anyone who uses the tool of denigrating another religion as a means of gaining political advantage - It’s a short stroll to your fathers Auschwitz experience.
Those that find this behavior repugnant should say so, so the weak-minded religious manipulators will be forced (through numbers against them alone) to crawl back under the rocks where they store their moral compasses.
This thread is wrong. It is unAmerican. It’s juvenile.
Very well stated.
