In response to the NY Times ad placed last week defending the LDS Church and others for the Prop 8 backlash, a NY group “Truth Wins Out” is placing an ad in tomorrow’s Salt Lake Tribune.
Rather than refuting the claims of the NY Times ad, the SL Trib ad, “Lies in the Name of the Lord,” seeks to make out some of the signers of the ad into “some of the most notorious Mormon bashers in America.” But the ad merely shows that they have theological differences with the Mormon Church. Not quite Mormon bashing. It turns out that the Mormon Church has theological differences with the Becket ad signers too.
While Chuck Colson, William Donohue and others may not believe what the Mormon Church teaches, they at least agree that Mormons and other religious people have the right to express themselves, politically and religiously, without threat of intimidation or fear of losing one’s job.
