That is fine. As a Mormon, you likely agree. But in a secular society, there should be a secular foundation for the government's actions. Do you disagree? Note: we are getting way off topic here.

Mostly agree. I don't see it being that black and white. Goverments reflect the moral values of their citizens, and religion gets in that mix sometimes.

Cali - question for you.
Do you agree or disagree with Hinckley's notion that goverments have an obligation to promote measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society? |

In places like China and the Middle East, the government doesn't reflect moral values....it dictates them.

As a general statement, yes. But the specifics as to what that actually means are pretty vague, I think.

Where do you live, Tex? What state? You seem very evasive about that topic, and really most topics about yourself.
Your anagrams are showing, doctor.
