Colorcountry, I have no dog in this fight. You see, although I was raised Catholic, attended Catholic school and at one time actually considered the Monastery, I no longer practice the faith. Frankly, I haven’t found credibility with any of the faiths, thus far. While not aggressive, my search for the truth continues. Today, I am probably a Deist more than anything....but I really don’t know.
As long as I have said all of that, I might as well say this. The infighting between faiths is something as old as dirt and will be around long after were are gone. Even though I haven’t found a home, I have seen much good done for mankind, by most faiths. I have seen truly evil deeds by only a handful of faiths. There are good and evil folks in all faiths/religions.
I know some very good folks that are Catholic, and I know some very good folks that are Mormon, a few Baptists, Evangelicals, etc. Perhaps more than the faith/religion preference, what really matters is what is in ones heart, and the proof of that goodness, is in how they live.
I find the attacks against Mormons disgusting. As well, I would find attacks against Catholics just as offending. I would find attacks against Jews offending. I have taken a few shots at Baptist’s and Evangelicals lately. I give Huckabee and the religious “holier than thou crowd” credit for that. I really think that all of this “my church is better than your church” makes all religions look foolish and it pits away at the attacking religion’s credibility.
I find it ironic that while folks fought over what religion was the true religion, that the atheistic left, that wasn’t even in the debate, is now likely going to walk away with the White House. So, as it pertains to religion/faith....when this year is done and we see that a person of faith is no longer in the power....what will we have won?
Thank you for your reply.
I am a Mormon.
Can you point out what YOU think is an 'attack'.
I've seen that adjective used over and over in these threads to cover a lot of things, but NONE has ever been copy & pasted and said...
---> THIS RIGHT HERE <---
...is what I mean by ATTACK.
