As you know, the unwarranted number of Mormons who advocate war is a hot button issue of mine over at my blog, Pure Mormonism.<br /><br />Sometime in the future I'm going to borrow your declaration that "The United States of the 21st century does not export peace. We export war." Sad but true that prominent latter-day Saints such as Mitt Romney and Glenn Beck advocate such un-Mormon and un-Christian positions.<br /><br />Your well-written piece deserves wide distribution, and I will be sending it out.Alan Rock Watermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04971243364867111868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-49675653772760884602010-10-25T08:04:13.309-06:002010-10-25T08:04:13.309-06:00Dave: That is an extremely well thought-out and ap...Dave: That is an extremely well thought-out and appropriate comparison. Divide, distract, and conquer seems to work pretty well, unfortunately.<br /><br />I wrote an article here called "Throwing the Rascals Out is Not Enough" which explains how they are so successful and keeping us divided, distracted, and conquered.Frank Stahelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822334061980912687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-52430433769863109622010-10-25T07:29:58.557-06:002010-10-25T07:29:58.557-06:00I recently reached the war chapters in Alma during...I recently reached the war chapters in Alma during my current reading of the Book of Mormon and I was struck with inspiration on what one of the modern-day parallels today are: The only reason Amalickiah was able to conquer so many Nephite cities was because Moroni was distracted with dealing with the king-men who wanted to overthrow Pahoran and establish a king. Nowadays political pundits are intentionally keeping us distracted and divided while the real enemies, the terrorists on Capitol Hill, destroy our freedoms and Constitution more and more. Sadly we have no leaders like Moroni today in the church or in the government.Dave P.noreply@blogger.com
