LDS Church Strongly Objects To Oregon Takeover

Mormon leaders to Oregon militia: Your religion isn't with you

If Ammon Bundy and other Mormons involved in taking over a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon believe their religion is backing them, they should reconsider.

Leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints "strongly condemn the armed seizure of the facility," spokesman Eric Hawkins said in a news release Monday, "and are deeply troubled by the reports that those who have seized the facility suggest that they are doing so based on scriptural principles."

The release further states that "this armed occupation can in no way be justified on a scriptural basis."

Americans "are privileged to live in a nation where conflicts with government or private groups can — and should — be settled using peaceful means, according to the laws of the land."

Making up crap is all about LDS. How could they possibly object?

Media outlets have called this a Mormon Revolution because of Utah's efforts to wrest millions of acres of public lands from the Feds. Somewhat like Nevada where 85% of the state is under federal supervision.
