Comments about ‘Today in the Bloggernacle (03-05-08)’

Please remove the entire Bloggernacle column from the Deseret News. Far too often have I gone there in search of something that I thought would be interesting only to find either blatant Anti-Mormon diatribe or someone scoffing at my beliefs. I am confused as to why the DesNews promotes this kind of commontary. There are too many twisted views posted that are contrary to the doctrines of the Gospel.

Keep the bloggernacle please. I have read it over the past few weeks. I enjoyed other view points and not having to search all of the blogs. The majority of the links are not anti-mormon, and I can laugh at myself and my religion. Blogs by definition are opinions. I consider myself a good member of the church and I think we should all realize there are good and bad things on tv, Internet, and blogs.

Cherish freedom of speech. And use your God given cognitive ability to think for yourself. Differing points of view will expand your appreciation of culture and other people and enrich your own experience.

Freedom of speech? All of those freedoms end when they infringe on others freedoms. The freedom to swing your fist ends when my face begins. My cognitive abilities to think for myself is what I use to realize that I am offended by certain things and I do not believe that insulting sacred things is something that should be on the Deseret News and on a list of things that is recommended reading. The DN has a higher standard simply because it is owned by the Church. Differing points of view is one thing and there is nothing wrong with points of view but how can we justify promoting something that has so much bad just because it is mixed in with some acceptable.
