That Damn Cult

Since Mitt Romney became the GOP presidential nominee in the Fall election, much has been focused on his religion-The Church of Latter Day Saints or Mormons.  Many of those in the Christian community think the LDS church is a cult and doesn't want much to do with them.  Personally, I know many Mormons and I don't know of any who are bad people.  Of course, Crybaby/Coward/Senile Harry Reid would be an exception to that rule.
But here are more typical LDS members:
More than 700 Las Vegas Valley teenagers swarmed the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints campus in Green Valley on Saturday morning.
Paint-splattered teens hunched over rows of tables in the parking lot while assembling wooden toy giraffes, elephants, ducks and airplanes. Others slipped multicolored beads onto a plastic wire that would soon turn into a keychain gecko. Inside, one group collected books and cans, another sewed blankets and another made pillowcases.
Each teenager darted around the church with a different job to do, but they all had a singular goal: to help those in need on the LDS Day of Service, a day designated for LDS teens to dedicate their time to a community project.
“We started out with games, but when we brought them together to start projects, we told them the ultimate prize is not winning but being prize-like by shining in the community and those surrounding you,” said Patti Peterson, who helped organize the event. “We’re trying to teach them to be good citizens.”
Peterson said it was the first time all of the participating teenagers gathered in a central location to complete their Day of Service, which made it a special event. Organizers randomly assigned each teen a number that determined what project they’d work on. Peterson said they were eager to help regardless of which job they were assign  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2012/oct/13/teenagers-learn-be-good-citizens-lds-day-service/
The Mormons are highly encouraged to tithe- give 10% of their income to the Church so the money could be used to help those Church members in need.  That's the kind of income redistribution of wealth I can support- voluntary giving instead of being forced to by the government.
So, thanks to the LDS kids for helping out the community and sounds like these kids are going to turn out to be responsible adults.
