    The Book of Mormon & Preemptive War

    Is there anywhere in the Book of Mormon where preemptive war is condoned? I can think of a few passages where it is forbidden and where war is only justified to defend your family and land. I really think that we were duped and manipulated into supporting the war in Iraq, and I don't believe...

    Are Mormons "Preppy?"

    Do Mormons tend to be preppier than the general public? If you think so, why do you think that is? I just have been thinking about it a little lately because I'm convinced that BYU and BYU-Idaho have got to be two of the preppiest schools in the country (BYU-Idaho more than BYU, but BYU is a...
