I love it! The 2012 Presidential Race is here and as always the crazy people like to say things out loud.

Today I watched a supporter of Perry say that the Mormons are a cult. That was nice of him. He went on to say that about every religion except his. He talked about Christians and that we "mormons" are not. I am totally confused. The name of the Church I attend is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" we were nicked name the "Mormons" because of another book of scripture which we believe in "The Book of Momon". We believe the Bible to be the word of God as well as the Book of Mormon. They back each other up and both talk and teach of Christ. So as I pulled up the dictionaries version of a Christian, I just laughed.

The Savior I know loved the sinner and did not cast stones or call names. He loves everyone. As followers of Christ we should be striving to do the same things. I feel bad for the man who, on public tv, said some horrible things about people trying to be Christlike. I hope he understands what he has done and changes his attitude or at least keeps his mouth shut.
