Don't you just love the way some religious people treat their fellow men!

And non-religious people as well. Pol Pot, Josef Stalin, Adolf Hitler - human wickedness isn't restricted to people who claim membership of a faith.

True. And neither is goodness.

My point, Lily, was that religious people are, surely, supposed to be nice to their fellow men - isn't it what all religions teach?

No, it's what ethical people teach, whether they are religious or not. Mind you, in this case, the Mormon Church is not renowned for its ethical standards anyway, so I suppose we shouldn't be surprised. Actually, I'm not, just disgusted.

Just read it; hardly disgusting in the big scheme of things.

What kind of publication is the Beast?

Bags Fri 21-Sep-12 18:19:33

Read the publication and then you'll know. How else would you find out?

Typical of a religious sect. Conform or be destroyed.

By asking you Bags. Since you made the original post thought you might be a subscriber to the Beast. Is it a bit like the Mail?

Just had a look at the Daily Beast and found what Wiki says about it:
