I don't see Mormons bumrushing the pulpit of my church demanding we remove our cross. It's too bad that this guy saw fit to tour the Nauvoo temple and heckle the interior designer. If he was a member of my church, he'd probably get a good talking to! :-)

I find it appropriate to quote Martin Luther on the matter of "faith vs. works":
"Man is saved by faith alone, but not by a faith that is alone."

In other words, only faith saves, but a true faith will naturally be shown by works. The more I ruminated upon this saying, the more I liked it.

I would no more run into someone's church or temple and tell them that their faith/precepts are wrong than fly to the moon. As the 11th Article of Faith says:

* We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
