It's been an unusual few weeks where LDS beliefs on a variety of topics have emerged in the news. These include the value of missionary work on young men's maturity, service, fasting, happiness and stem cell research. Perhaps this is good news...
There have been a number of recent stories about where different religions stand on stem cell research. Mormons, particularly, Sen.

For example, no matter how often the Catholic posters protest that Catholics do not worship Mary, there will always be a bunch of non-Catholics who are absolutely certain that Catholics do.
So take a lesson from the Catholics and always be ready to debunk the claim that to you is utterly false. And always do it without attacking the other Freeper personally.
