Hey, we can agree about something! How 'bout that?

I've never understood the hate for the ACLU. I remember my nutty seminary teacher ranting about the ACLU on a daily basis. He seemed to think the ACLU had a spy for every Mormon and was determined to bring down the church. There is no need to fear the ACLU unless you are trampling someone's rights.

I'll be darned. The ACLU is defending the rights of a minority. Who'd have thought?
I feel reasonably certain in asserting that, were we members of the church in a state with fewer than a 5% LDS population, we'd like the ACLU quite a bit.

So if Christians suddenly found themselves in the minority in the U.S., the ACLU would immediately take up their cause?

Or, say, a Mormon finds himself in the minority in West Virginia?

My answer is I have no idea what the ACLU would do on behalf of Christianity were Christians to find themselves in the minority. I do know that when a Mormon found himself in the minority in West Virginia, the ACLU took up his cause.
