I hate the humidity. Why do I live here?
I've been reading many comments in the AOL blogs about Mitt Romney and his religion, and I'm still dumbfounded at the blithering idiocy that is put out as fact on the net. One good thing about Bro. Romney running for President is that others can see that we do not have horns, and/or multiple wives, and we are actually quite normal people (whatever "normal" is).
One comment I read by an unidentified female stated that "the church doesn't let anyone get away" and that one of her "friends" has been "hiding" from the church for thirty years. Oh, and that another one of her "friends" was "shunned by her family and members of the church for refusing to kick a black boy out of her cub scout troup." Huh? It's nonsensical diatribe like this that people actually believe. Forget it if there is absolute truth staring them in the face, they will choose the more controversial, the horrible, the unbelievable untruths.
So, Romney for President? I haven't made up my mind yet. I'm still trying to get an answer from his campaign folk on the sorry state of public education and what he would plan to do with it. At this point, I'm just enjoying reading the ignorant rantings of the uneducated masses, in the hopes that they will receive an epiphany of sorts, or a least a slap in the face of truth.

Hi there, I found you on the LDS blog ring I just subscribed to.
Thanks for this blog. It's absolutely true that the LDS church will not come after you if you leave. Hey, I'm in Scouts, and there's absolutely no problem with having a child in there of any color, even green! It's also true that there are some people in the church who choose to make unwise decisions, and it's those people who give the church a bad name. But nowhere is it church policy or is it approved by the Lord to go after anyone who has chosen to leave. Free agency is one of God's most wonderful gifts to us, and He would never force anyone to belong to a church they didn't want to belong to.
Thank you Tristi!
Indeed, people still believe that we all have horns in our heads. Alas, we still have a long way to go before others will truly understand who we are and what we believe in.
Cheers!
