Re: Southern Baptists vs. Mormons
by montemm

Sir,

I am and LDS elder, am indeed college educated, and a middle class officer in the US Army Reserve.

However, I do not think it a ligitimate topic to see who is smarter or richer. I have intelligent Baptist friends who are not the bigots that any story here portrays.

I know some poorer Baptist people from here and in Portugal, and even in their poverty, they display quiet wisdom, grace and tolerance. I know poor Mormons as well. Jesus Himself was a carpenter's stepson and I do not think that interjecting class or social warfare helps anyone out. Perhaps it would help everyone if all religions and peoples would spend more time and money educating and sustaining the poor, than we spend on attacking each other.
