The New Tolerance

In case you've been living under a rock
since November 4th, Proposition 8, here in California,
passed by a slim margin of 52.5% to 47.5%.

In the days following temples all across the state have been
ground zero for angry demonstrations.
Needless to say, Mormons have been heavily targeted.

Since the news is heavily biased out here, I wanted
to give you the opportunity to get some information
from the other side of the Proposition.

I think it's really well written and reminds us
"Bigoted Mormon Hatemongers*" - WWJD?

As Paul so eloquently wrote:
"Clearly there are lessons to be learned from the current unrest:

Tolerance is not agreement and should not be a one way street. However,

we must still remain tolerant of those who are intolerant of us.

Recognize the adversary at work here –

making good seem bad and evil seem good.

We can only be disciples of Christ when we respond to

adversity in a Christlike manner.

To do less opens our actions to the influence of the

adversary and hurts us even more... .

Pray. Often. Don't forget to include those

who are set against you."
