Re: Mormon church makes anti-war statement

That's about what one would normally expect from you, Stuart Elliott --
whose only creativity lies in a unique mix of shallow-creek "knowledge,"
superciliousness, and bigotry.  The other day, during the discussion of the
American South, I asked a member of this list if he'd ever lived in the
South.  Never got a formal answer on that one.  A reasonable question to you
might be, ever go to an LDS church service?  This is all the sort of thing
that explains far better than a ton of tomes just why some ostensible
"radicals" can never relate to the grassroots of this country -- or any
other.

The important thing here , of course,  is that an extremely large religious
denomination -- 11 million globally with a very significant  membership in
the now relatively conservative American West -- has taken a clear and
strong position against War --  and with an explicit recognition of the
common theological roots of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
