Comments about ‘LDS Church to provide addresses to Davis County’

Potential shelter locations? Just look down the street for your local LDS Church. IF you can't find one, look around a few blocks for the steeple and you head for that one.

I don't mean to be insulting but, Flashback, have you ever lived in a community where there isn't an LDS meetinghouse on every corner? And not all buildings that receive tax exempt status have a steeple. Look at Utah as an example. How many buildings are owned by the Church but are not used for church meetings, for example, seminary buildings. Not all churches have steeples. My own community has a nice little mosque/community center that does not have a Christian steeple. The same could be said about synagogues.

Anyway, I don't think the point of the article was to for the public to look for a quick shelter but rather for the local emergency personnel to have aquick reference source.

Having a steeple and being a church are not on and the same on either side.

Private schools and many other such entities are tax exempt as well.

That said, this article is about Davis County, Utah specifically getting contact information from the LDS Church. The hard to observe nature of some mosques is only at best tangentially related to this.

While I would say that Flashback's comment is unneccesarily sarcastic, and it does ignore that Church owned farms were also involved in this database, his failure to acknowlege non-LDS groups reflects the facts of what the article was actually talking about and not some inate narrow-mindedness on his part.
