Religiously unaffiliated showing up white Christians. Unfortunately LDS weren't included in the sample.

Originally posted by originalsocal View PostI'm almost glad LDS are not included. As the majority of LDS are outside the US, I'd like to see what the entire population of LDS think. It would be interesting to see the difference between American LDS vs. LDS outside the US. Better yet, what do the metrics look like when comparing LDS in Utah, Idaho, and Arizona (Jello Belt) vs LDS in all other states.
There are highly charged arguments in governments and across society regarding what the definition of a refugee is and what should be done to assist the refugees. My remarks are not intended in any way to form part of that heated discussion, nor to comment on immigration policy, but rather to focus on the people who have been driven from their homes and their countries by wars that they had no hand in starting.
The Savior knows how it feels to be a refugee—He was one. As a young child, Jesus and His family fled to Egypt to escape the murderous swords of Herod. And at various points in His ministry, Jesus found Himself threatened and His life in danger, ultimately submitting to the designs of evil men who had plotted His death. Perhaps, then, it is all the more remarkable to us that He repeatedly taught us to love one another, to love as He loves, to love our neighbor as ourselves. Truly, “pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction” and to “look to the poor and the needy, and administer to their relief that they shall not suffer.”
