He is without sin, let him cast the first stone

“This next hour is going to be very troubling for me.” While Doug has some substantial differences from those on Capitol Hill, but he was shocked. Considering what Senator Buttars his thoughts have seemed to have run uncensored from his thought process to his mouth. There are people that absolutely circle around this guy. Doug was just stunned at his comments that were so divisive and mean spirited.

Ecclesiastical leaders have never given permission to degrade others with opposing views. Elder Clayton went on to say the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has always asked its members to treat all people with civility, respect, and love. Governor Huntsman said that these views are hardly representative of Utah’s views.

Almost a year ago to do the day Deseret News commented that Senator’s Buttars needs to think long and hard about running for re-election. Where is the filter? There is a shocking disconnect between his brain and his vocal cords. The Deseret News went onto say it would be easier to accept Buttars if not for his outrageous and hurtful statements on issues ranging from gay-straight clubs in Utah public high schools to teaching "intelligent design" in public schools…it is questionable how effective his representation can be. The answer ought to be obvious.

We all deserve better, not Buttars—better.

Caller Jeff felt that this statement represents what he feels. Doug was shocked by those that can condemn homosexuals regardless of how active they are in their sexuality. Doug said that the homosexuals he knows are some of the most moral that he knows. Where are the pleas for kindness?

He who is without sin let him cast the first stone.

Caller Marsha was concerned a little about the election process. One of the things that concerned her was that Senator Buttars had many adult children that would go back to the polls and vote for Buttars. Doug said that the convention process if all about who shows up.

Some say that Buttars was just quoting scripture. Well Doug quoted Exodus 35:2 that said that we are to observe the Sabbath day and if we don’t, we are to be put to death. Should we literally interpret that?

You can be a person with same sax standards but be in good standing with the church. There are homosexuals that have the tendencies, but choose not to act on them.
