I agree with you 150%(watched Morey Povich several times). I am not Mormon. I do respect them greatly for the sacrifice that they make in their lives.I will not start bashing other religions on a thread about young men being murdered by a thug. There is a time and a place for everything.

There is a time and a place for everything.

Indeed.

I hope you don’t mind my elbowing in here – but I would like to remind all the posters and lurkers that way back in 1999, Larry Gene Ashbrook entered a prayer service in a Baptist church in Ft. Worth and gunned down several kids and a counselor before killing himself.

Certainly adherents of many different confessions reached out in love and compassion and prayed for all the families. They were there at the community wide services. But they did not challenge the doctrines of those who were grieving. Nor did they challenge Baptist beliefs here on Free Republic when the news broke on the News forum.

Likewise, this thread is not the place for such challenges. It is the place for compassion, love, intercessory prayer and watching the news unfold – just as it was for the Baptists in Ft. Worth so many years ago.

The place for comparing doctrines – with mutual respect – is the Religion forum.
