John,

I indeed did misunderstand you, and for that I apologize!

My previous expectations are vindicated and my respect restored.

The Irony is that because of the “factually troubled history” (your meaning) that is still going on, I am sensitive to phrases like “factually troubled history” because it is a phrase typical of the current crop of anti-Mormon critics to imply that Mormons lie about their history (something that you have discussed).

I would only ask that you accept my apology and please in the future add a little more clarity when using the phrase “factually troubled history”.

Thanks,
VB

I believe you misunderstand. My statement reflects that factually there is a history of hostility between the LDS community and mainstream America.

The practice of polygamy was an anti-social practice, that I have stated before. But the hostility, which is the history to which I refer here, was out of proportion to that one issue. There is still some reconciliation necessary to overcome that hostility. That is all I am saying.

“factually troubled history”?

Sounds to me like you get your understanding of LDS church history from the “anti-Mormon” critics.

I had come to expect better of you.

Last night Sarah hit a grand slam. God was never meant to be out of politics, just those of us with faith understand we are not as arrogant as those without. My faith has given me certain principles I shall not abandon.
Thanks to those who try my faith everyday. I have a reason to vote for McCain and not against the other guy. God Bless America

….yet another opportunity to say “thank you” Mike Huckabee and the Huckabee wing of the evangelical community,along with a chaser of media and Sen. McCain complicity. Yeah, I have some not so -secret- Mitt Romney as our candidate longings right about now myself.
