Feelings toward members of LDS faith (Mormons)

I get a daily email from Google News with any story that they find with "Mormon" in it. Well this morning I read a story from the Orange County Register that dealt with the end of the Romney Presidential Campaign and the interesting thing was one of the comments. This comment came from a person that previously lived in Orange County CA and now lives in Idaho. This is what I feel is really happening (sometimes) people think they know things that they do not. Here are the comments. Let me know what YOU think.

It is a lot different in Idaho. Many non-mormons are very suspicious of mormons and many supposed "Christians" say and do hateful things behind their backs. In my opinion, they are jealous of the social and economic success that many mormons have achieved here and they tend to blame their own failures on some sort of mormon conspiracy. Particularly the born-again/evangelical types. The truth is they are great neighbors, good friends, and give much more to our society than they take. Those of you that call mormonism a "Cult" are haters, in the first degree! You believe that a burning bush talked to a guy, but no way an angel came to Joseph Smith...GIVE ME A BREAK! Our founding fathers decreed that there be no religious test for our leaders, they were right to do that. A persons religion should not have a bearing on their fitness to be president. 2/11/2008 5:00:41 PM

Maná...20 million albums...Now you know

From time to time I like to share interesting things about myself on this blog...So tonight I thought I would share something; I love the Mexican rock band Maná. While I was a missionary for my church in southern California I worked with the Spanish-speaking people. One of the ways that I learned to speak and understand the language was through music and Maná was the group that I listened to the most. They are comparable to The Police. I bought my first Maná tape from a guy selling pirated tapes and CDs out of soft drink case cardboard boxes. You could totally tell that the tape case was a color photocopy and that the tape was a copy. But the price was right and it started me down the path where I am now. Maná actually came to Idaho once, they were touring with Santana in 2000 in support of his album Supernatural. Maná released their most recent album August 2006 Amar es Combatir. Here is a video from that album, Bendita Tu Luz.

Law & Order

I like to watch Law & Order and recently they had an episode that dealt with something that is pretty close to home in Idaho. You figure it out. Enjoy.
