How can LDS support McCain now? Palin has a four month old child with Down's Syndrome and five children. Isn't this an affront to your faith? See Ms. Beck's speach.

I'm so conflicted!!!! SU, what shall I do?

How odd. SU, having abandoned the faith of this fathers, still views everything through an LDS prizm. Fascinating.

Can't we just get along?

Is this a secular humanist board? I just think that if you are linear and true to your principles this has got to be a total mind blast for you. Your world is upside down, if you are a man of principle.

It's an insoluble conflict. What better example could there be than this that much of what you hear from the pulpit is unrnealistic, atavistic, illogical, narrow and extreme. Sister Beck is erased. I LOVE AMERICA!

Polish up your act. I am responding because people have told me how intelligent you are and quite frankly this type of dig is dissapointing. Not the dig, but that you are so predictable and they are poorly done.

I am not knocking you, just asking you to "raise the bar". I know you can.

Where in your history with The Saints did you ever hear anyone tell you that you could only vote for people seeking public office that abided by all Mormon dictates and cultural norms? Your point is without foundation.

Besides, she's an Idaho girl. She's good with me.

I think SU's problem is that he's been "raising the bar" all too often.

I have a brother with DS and moms works full time. I'm down (ha ha) with Palin.

She also has a son in the Army. She is married to a Laminite (ha ha). She was born in Idaho. She sounds more Mormon than Mitt.

side note: This also means that both McCain and Palin have sons on active duty in the military.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
