I disagree. Wiesal has the right to be offended. I don't dispute that. But the Mormon church has the right to offend.

The Mormons may come off as 'insensitive', but Wiesal comes off as a whiny victim. I'd rather be the former myself, and I have more sympathy with the former. You have the right to feel differently.

In the final analysis, if I let myself, I could be offended all the time. Life is too short, waaaay too short. THe only way I could not be offended, if I let myself, is by telling everybody else what to do. Which is what Wiesal is doing. Screw 'im.

Unless someone is being physically hurt, there is no need to get all upset. Pperhaps intense personal humiliation would justify some response. But the best thing is to ignore jerks.

Understand, none of this is a defense of Mormon theology or practice.

Then leave WBC alone if they want to protest soldiers’ funerals. My point is not one bit more complex than that. Bye.
