Personally, I don't care for books that promote a religious message to it's readers. Also, Christian "love" is required to be very conditional. An apostate who left Christianity is unlovable. A sexually-active homosexual is unlovable. Transgendered person who have undergone a sex-change operation are unlovable. An atheist is unlovable. Non-Christian religious persons are unlovable. To a fundamentalist Christian, they are to be despised and avoided at all costs. You must either believe what the Christian believes and act in accordance to their religious practices or else you are unlovable and are dead in the eyes of the Christian.  The Amish and the Jehovah's Witnesses ( of which I am an ex-member of) display such behavior towards former  members and non-members of their particular denominations.  The Church of Scientology, a non-Abrahamic religion requires practicing members to cut off all contact with apostates. I read a post from postmormon.org and one persons mentioned how the LDS Church doesn't want same-sex couples to have legal civil right to marry the person that they love. Well, the LDS Church should be ashamed of themselves, same-sex couples should have the right to marry their partner of the same-sex legally and the LDS Church should want same-sex couples to have that right. The LDS Church ( I am an ex-Orthodox Mormon) should want equality for everyone. They have undergone intense religious persecution in the years since Joseph Smith founded the Latter-day Saint Movement. Non-LDS persons have to deal with the Church interfering in the political affairs in Utah.  




Why should the LDS majority in Utah, persuade civil law to conform to the religious beliefs and practices of Mormonism, which is entirely disregarding the rights of Gentiles/ non-Mormons?  I'm ashamed of how my fellow human beings behave. When have we learned. If in all-loving god did exist, I think that deity would be ashamed of how poorly human beings treat each other.
