The Nehor Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Call me stupid but what is "GNP"? I assume you meant GDP?GNP is the value of all products and services created by US citizens anywhere in the world. GDP is the value of all goods and services produced on the nation's land including that made by noncitizens. In general GDP is more valuable and used more often.

bdouglas Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 We seem to have strayed from the original post, which was, "Does being LDS limit or narrow your choice of political persuasions?" Of course the answer to this question is no; but you'd never know it from the many extremely conservative, I might even say fanatical, American LDS who will tell you otherwise, who will tell you that there is an equation which says, in essence, that:LDS doctrine/theology = [fill in the blank] PartyWe get this message in subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle ways, from the pulpit in sacrament meeting, in Gospel Doctrine class, and HP Group Mtg.; or when the stake Relief Society prez uses ward mailing lists to send out an email blast during the 2008 presidential election urging members to vote one way and not another (this actually happened in my stake).

ERayR Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 If you are unfortunate enough to have a "priesthood" leader bent on promoting his own beliefs, then yes, your priesthood leader will limit your political persuasions for you; despite the fact that The Church is political neutral.Wrong, No one limits your political persuasions or any other persuasion unless you let them. Even if you do not openly oppose them you still have the privacy of the ballot box.
Mark Beesley Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 With regard to the assertion that the United States Constitution is inspired, I believe that assertion to the extent that the framers were inspired to create a system of checks and balances, a bicameral Congress, and three separate branches of government. Beyond that, I am convinced the Lord leaves to us how best to implement such a system. Such a system is suited to various economic systems, including capitalism and socialism. I find it pretentious to suggest that beyond the above-stated, the Lord found it necessary to inspire the framers in further particulars.I don't find the Second Amendment particularly inspired, at least not the current implementation of such. 3
