rudeness

[robocop (actually)]

For those who don't think rudeness matters in an election, here is a story from the Book of Mormon:

1 Nephi 18

Note that a group of people were going to another continent to civilize it. They were very rude and God got angry. He caused the ship to almost sink after 3 days and luckily He had created the Universe so they would repent right before the ship went under. When they released their brother who had been tied up his arms were very swollen from the 3 days and yet he prayed and the wind ceased and they made it to the Americas.

The lesson is, rudeness makes a big difference.

I don't believe in a God that necessarily works in quite that way, but I do believe in karma.

Some find it difficult to reconcile that about 20 Jews were said to have left Jerusalem for America in 600 B.C.E. but that in less than 30 years, they had multiplied and split into two nations! (2 Nephi 5:28) Within 19 years of their arrival, this small band supposedly built a temple “after the manner of the temple of Solomon . . . , and the workmanship thereof was exceedingly fine”—a formidable task, indeed! The seven-year construction of Solomon’s temple in Jerusalem occupied nearly 200,000 laborers, craftsmen, and overseers.—2 Nephi 5:16; compare 1 Kings 5, 6.

The Mormon story tells of vast settlements across the North American continent. Helaman 3:8 reads: “And it came to pass that they did multiply and spread . . . to cover the face of the whole earth.” According to Mormon 1:7, the land “had become covered with buildings.” Many people wonder where the remains of these sprawling civilizations are. Where are the Nephite artifacts, such as gold coins, swords, shields, or breastplates?—Alma 11:4; 43:18-20.

New For those who don't think rudeness matters in an election, here is a story from the Book of Mormon:

I would really, truly hope one does not need religion to see why it matters. If someone cannot inherently see this they may have a broken moral compass.

It's impossible to reconcile because there is no evidence of this, including an abysmal lack of genetic evidence as support.

I agree that rudeness matters. People should stick to the issues and not bring personalities into it.

Not sure I believe the story about the ship. If praying could prevent ships from sinking, no ship would ever sink.
