My Zion Includes Ex-Mormons and Atheists

From the article:

Too often, I see lines drawn between Mormons and other Christians, or Mormons and ex-Mormons, or Religious People and Non-Religious People. This is painful to me because I don’t like to see us making enemies of people who could be our friends. I don’t like to play the game of solidifying our group’s boundaries by vilifying the “other” rather than trying for understanding. I also really dislike the kinds of stereotypes that I see on both sides of this, stereotypes I find unfair and demeaning. There is a lot of fear in these attitudes and I think fear isn’t a good way to go about living.

You and I are of one heart and one mind on this issue, Mak.

My Ideal of Heaven is a place where Ezra Taft Benson and Martin Luther King are conversing, and learning from each; Or, perhaps George Carlin :lol: and Boyd Packer :neutral: . Is it impossible? With God (Truth xLove) all things are possible. :smile:
