Religion and Politics
The Patriot Post today is carrying an important essay by Mark Alexander, entitled “Religion and Politics Don’t Mix?”
An excellent point he makes in the essay is that the Declaration of Independence asserts that our Rights (a political term) originate not from our political relationship to a State, but from our religious relationship to the Creator, [...]
Say No To Religious Bigotry
The opponents of Proposition 8 apparently have no shame and no class. Hopefully by the time this election is over, the results will show they had no credibility as well.
Go to their website and goive them a piece of your mind. This shouldn’t be tolerated for any reason.
Benson: I Testify
One of the final speeches given by Pres. Ezra Taft Benson, this testimony, entitled “I Testify,” was delivered in October General Conference, 1988.
It was one of the most powerful speeches I had ever heard. I was serving a mission for the LDS Church at the time, and I clearly remember it.
Since then, I have come [...]
Bennion Spencer: the Lord’s Anointed
I have heard several commentators, including Rush Limbaugh, voice their concerns about the state of today’s Democratic Party. Well, it seems the Democratic Party is in great shape after all. How could it not be with all those people intent on saving us from ourselves?
Judicial Overreach Stalls Polygamist Family Reunion
Talks between Warren Jeffs’s polygamist sect Yearning for Zion and the State of Texas fell apart Friday when a district court judge decided to expand the ruling of the Texas Supreme Court and add additional restrictions and qualifications that must be met before the children will be returned to their families.
Judge Barbara Walther did not [...]
Justice Prevails for Polygamist Community
Please be certain of one thing: I do not practice polygamy.
I don’t see the issues going on in Texas as strictly limited to the followers of Warren Jeffs. I believe they are misguided, and I believe that breaking the law of the land is wrong; they should not be marrying underage girls.
But I also believe [...]
The Tom Green Connection
Remember Tom Green, the polygamist prosecuted by Juab County Prosecutor David Leavitt back in 2001?
This year, Leavitt stated during his run for Utah’s 3rd Congressional seat that the activities going on in Texas involving Warren Jeffs’s followers were a direct result of the Tom Green case.
Well, an interesting connection has turned up in the Texas [...]
Left Blames Religion for Global Warming
Read the story at Section134.com. I can’t help but wonder how much longer the Left can refrain from outright murder in the name of the earth. I don’t think it will be long. The revolutionaries are getting restless.
“Private” Morality Doesn’t Exist
When a man with strong religious beliefs aquires a position of power, Leftists vociferate over the separation of Church and State, and the horrible results of waging politics governed by religious (in other words, ethical) principles. They claim that Religion will interfere with the just application of the Law, that no-one with strong religious convictions [...]
