I think Dominique is spot on. This whole event and its organization (raving about “God’s law”) sounds and looks like this is the Christain version of the Taliban, to wit:

“We do not make laws, we merely distort and twist God’s laws,” so we must do all we can to correct that.

These people do not want civil law, they want “God’s Law”. (likened to the “Sharia”).

Also, Mero is incorrect in the principles regarding the founding of this country. The preamble to the constitution states that

“we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator “(not “God” as Mero alludes – to an atheist, this might mean their parents) “with certain unalienable rights”.

Finally, what about the LDS article #11 in the articles of faith regarding the right of pursuing their worship the way they want (religious freedom) and also acknowledges the right of others to pursue their own religious freedom?

I too respect the rights of EVERYONE to believe in what they want – and WITHOUT persecution. This whole event and the driving forces behind it smack of hypocrisy to the max.
