After going after small churches and medium sized towns and school districts, the ACLU feels strong enough to take on the LDS Church. I'm no huge fan of the LDS but this time the ACLU may have bitten off more etc. Smack down time.
I'm not a fan of the LDS, either, as their religious beliefs are contrary to mine; however, my personal experience with those who are of that faith are, generally speaking, extremely positive as concerns family and values and my children became friends, with my blessings, with numerous Mormons. I also think the ACLU has bit off more than it can chew this time and I hope they're more than smacked down by the LDS....I hope they're smacked out of the ball park.
Yes, I agree, the ACLU, seems to run out of things to do. I'm glad that your experiences have been positive, as have mine. The LDS ought to frame this as it is one of the few times the majority of comments have been favorable towards the LDS.
That's unfortunate, as far as the bashing. I've noticed it happens often, as well, against Catholics and Christians....as far as that's concerned, "people of faith" are often taken to task or mocked for their beliefs, on just about everything. It's a shame....especially after what has just happened with Terri Schiavo. There's definitely been a noticeable divide in this country.
