Update to Trump Era Newcomers

Until I understand this EU Cookie law better I will leave Google's complimentary notice that this blog uses Blogger and Google cookies. These include Google Analytics and AdSense cookies. Also, I feel that I should warn that this blog was started in the style of and in response to the toxic commentary of Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. I don't mince words and the people who cannot see common sense in my words or are deliberately uninformed may not like the way I express myself. I moderate comments because I have had stalkers that posted filth in response to my religion. I'm not afraid to post conflicting opinion comments but I filter threats and inappropriate language comments. This comes in response to the Trump Era. May it be shorter than 4 years. =)

Christian? Do we teach respect and responsibility for our's and our children's actions?

Living in Utah is like no other experience on the planet. Most of the people I know who are LDS have been raised in the faith and in the state. This means that there is a rich inheritance of beliefs and opinions. That's not a bad thing, unless they aren't true. I think we're a bit more insulated than members in other states and countries. Here are some examples of what I see around me:

Homophobia. It's not your place to judge someone based on sexual preference. And how do YOU know that sexual transgressions rate higher on the degree of wickedness of sins than judging does?

And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. John 12:47

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 Nephi 14:2

Bullying: It's also not your place to punish what you perceive to be a sin.
Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God. D&C. 18:10

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:6

Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 25:40

Respect for President Obama:
And ye will not have a mind to injure one another, but to live peaceably, and to render to every man according to that which is his due. Mosiah 4:13

We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.” A of F 1:12.

D&C 138: 5–8,

All men should uphold their governments and owe respect and deference to the law;

Glenn Beck and Cleon Skousen are NOT prophets:

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you. 2 Peter 2:1

And that the Constitution is NOT scripture:
