“. . . the eternal spiritual battle for souls trumps any temporal, political battle.”
I agree and I am a Mormon.
Fine but we're not on the same side of the spiritual battle. I stand with the Gospel of the real historical Jesus Christ, not the fictional Jesus Christ of Joseph Smith. You claimed to have read the Bible - too bad you didn't read it with understanding or you would have clearly seen that Joseph Smith was a false teacher and fled from his false teaching.
