Bad Things Happen To Good People.

When people run into problems or something bad happens, it is human tendency to say something like "Why me?" or "How could God do this to me?" or something of that nature.
I explained my personal beliefs on the matter here.

Importance of Religious Freedom

Just posted a lens an squidoo.com about Religious Freedom.  Go to it here!
It has my opinion on the matter, as well as videos by Elder Dallin H. Oaks speaking about freedom of religion.
You can read from him at the LDS Newsroom pages:
 - Preserving Religious Freedom
 - Fundamentals of our Constitution

You can read these articles, and many more, as well as watch videos of speeches at:  LDS Newsroom - Freedom of Religion


"Now there was no law against a man's belief; for it was strictly contrary to the commands of God, that there should be a law which should bring men on to unequal grounds. For thus saith the Scripture: Choose ye this day, whom ye will serve. Now if a man desired to serve God, it was his privilege, or rather if he believed in God, it was his privilege to serve him; but if he did not believe in him, thee was no law to punish him."
- Alma 30 : 7-9 -
