“In summary the article is envious and resentful of wealthy Mormons and their extra status within their church. When the emotion of envy turns into action, it becomes hate. The hateful action of writing the article is physical evidence of envy, as is the Mormon bashing on FR. “

I disagree.

Not envious.
Not resentful.
I disagree that action that comes from envy MUST be hate.
Writing an article is not hate.
MormonISM bashing is not hate.

It appears you missed the point of the article.

It would appear that you must be wearing hate-glasses through which you are viewing the world.

I’ve seen people that see racism everywhere.
This hatist thing is a new one...

MormonISM bashing is not hate.

I don't have a dog in this fight so am not passionate about it. Most of the bashing in my opinion is envy driven. Envy is an unhealthy form of destructive competition. It's the evil core of modern leftism and very unbecoming of conservatives. There are a lot of religious people at FR so competition is going to happen, but the Mormon bashing has gone over the line into envy and hate. The Mormons must be on to something and are now outcompeting other faiths that have moved to the left. All organizations tend to move left over time until they eventually go bankrupt. New organizations appear on the right.

Mormons are successful conservatives and Utah is the most reliable conservative Republican-voting state in the Union. FR is no place for Mormon Derangement Syndrome. That said, I don't want to see Mitt Romney win the Republican nomination. He wants it too bad. I suspect his motive is unbridled ambition.

Ignoring the sinister envy woven into this article, how does your church match up: Time.com: KINGDOM COME
