DCP's vile criticism of Mr, Strang and co.

Post by _zeezrom »

Frankly, I'm surprised at the severity of his criticisms against Mr. Strang. Is Deseret News becoming a cesspool of vile attacks against a man with a sincere belief and his faithful followers?

It is a terrible attack. These are same attacks that occur against fundamentalist Mormons who often spout similar claims as the LDS church. It is a shame that such similar groups of people stoop to these levels of vile attacks (i.g. DCP). You would figure the fundamentalists and the mainline LDS would get along much better.

I'm eagerly anticipating the vast numbers of comments this piece will no doubt have. After all, it's very timely and applicable to modern life.

If only DCP would apply the same scrutiny to the Book of Abraham papyrus as he has to the matter of Strange's brass plates.

I informed my Facebook friends Vickie Speek, John Hamer, and John Hajicek of this article. I will let you know if they respond.

LOL. I sense sarcasm in your comment.

No, I mean that this piece is somehow a "cesspool of vile attacks"? I just don't see it, so I figured Zee was playing funny. But its apparent I 'm missing something else. How is he (Dr. Peterson) being vile?
