"The more you study the life of George Washington, the more you will come to love this man," Young said. "It's similar to the way you can come to love Joseph Smith by studying about his life."

Huh?! Joseph Smith should not be mentioned in the same sentence as George Washington.

I stopped reading at “come to love Joseph Smith”.

Just finished an interesting book on this subject: Washington's God by Novak.

"He may or may not have been skeptical about Christianity, but he believed very strongly in God."

Amen.

"There was no other nation on the earth where the Lord could have restored the gospel. And George Washington could not have been replaced."

Odd handcuffing of God.

Odd handcuffing of God.

Indeed.

This so-called "restoration of the gospel" must refer to Mormonism.

The uncontrolable tongue lashes out again...

James
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

Not just Washington, but the vast majority of our Founding Fathers were devout followers of Christ. I keep a copy of Tim LaHaye's Faith of our Founding Fathers in the family library (bathroom) for daily browsing for my kids. It lists all of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and details their faith.

What is the “is side of the so called”? Code speak?

[GunRunner]

So I'm going to hell because I found the comparison of Joseph Smith and George Washington unwarranted?

Isn't that a little presumptuous of you?
