But the DN article did dilute the attack to a religious rather than racist statement. And I have heard plenty of faith promoting rumors over the years. Including one about the missionaries having a zone/regional meeting scheduled in the twin towers on 9/11 that was cancelled at the last minute.Donna Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271377907141866718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1884927711300537802.post-60384249421553484102015-06-27T21:06:28.901-07:002015-06-27T21:06:28.901-07:00That bits about either the killer confusing "...That bits about either the killer confusing "African Methodist Episcopal Church" with "Church of jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" (what part other than the word "church" is similar in those two names?) or about elders supposedly going to that church to conduct Bible study 9since when do elders study the bible, whether at their own church, anyone else's church, or anywhere?) and were miraculously diverted are both faith-promoting rumors for the ages.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1884927711300537802.post-38344899038857573962015-06-27T21:01:06.355-07:002015-06-27T21:01:06.355-07:00His words and actions are often much classier than...His words and actions are often much classier than for which he gets credit.

This SC decision is going to destroy the institution of marriage even more than it had already been destroyed!! Why not actually be Christ-like and LIVE AND LET LIVE.
