My LDS Mormon friends say this about Trump

Some of my Mormon friends have told me that Ether 8:25 (Book of Mormon) says secret combinations cause “the destruction of all people.” Not just wicked nations, all people who tolerate them. When good men stay silent, evil thrives in plain sight. The greatest danger isn’t what’s hidden, it’s what’s accepted.

They think Trump is the leader of a great secret combination to overthrow American freedom and religious liberty.

I hope they are wrong about Trump, but one has to wonder.
My LDS friends voted for him and are Trump supporters. Methinks your friends are using select verses to confirm their bias, while mine are doing the same. However, your random Mormon friends are definitely not the majority of the LDS Church which, by their votes, seem to support Trump.

They weren't in the last election, but I am very curious to see how much ground they gain next year.

I always thought that the Antichrist foretold in the Book of Revelation would somehow be more attractive, more intelligent, more worth taking a second look at. Wrong! :laugh:

I don't think I argued that point. The LDS, though, have been decreasing in % of population in Utah, and there has been in my view a shifting toward the center for the more professional and academic LDS.
