Comments about ‘The quandary of peculiar versus weird’

I sent a letter to KSL a couple of years ago voicing concerns over some of its programming, and received a rather condescending letter from the station management that I should simply turn the show off if I don't like it, and that they simply run the shows that people in this market want.

While that is true for any television station, the answer was simplistic. It seems highly hypocritical that a station owned by the LDS wouldn't be the "light on the hill," so to speak.

That is completely different from the other situations mentioned where non-Church owned companies and individuals make business and personal decisions.

I have been astounded for years that the Church continues to propagate the kind of programming that a network affiliate must carry these days.

I say good for all of them. It's tough to stand up for what you believe in.

You do the best you can, trying to put God first, and then move on to the next issue. I'm impressed by people who stay as strong as they can under difficult circumstances. Kudos. Being mortal is always a balancing act. Thank the Good Lord for the atonement that fills all the gaps and lapses in judgment.

I think this is a non-issue. When it comes to any religion, people should quit judging others and let them worship in their own manner. We need to quit worrying about the letter of the law. Tad, do some real journalism.

I applaud all three examples Tad has referred to. On another level(or maybe not) my businesses are open Sundays(hotel and restaurant) and yes somebody has to work those days. I have always allowed them to choose to work or not work the Sunday shifts as so many are active religious(mostly LDS). Thanks, Tad for a good LDS human interest story. Issues such as this impact us all in one way or another. I do not criticize any LDS athlete who plays pro sports on Sunday because it is NONE OF MY BUSINESS. I really noticed and admired Brooke White for her always modest dress. Even Julianne Hough and Marie Osmond were always far more modest than all the rest on "Dancing". Could we complain when LDS swimmers wear typical swimwear for competition? I think not. Not always do situations allow us choices.
