The freedom I love

I have this idea and it just follows me around. What would an open discussion about Mormons and controversial topics of this time look like? What would it's purpose be and could it be a good thing? I love being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. In fact, I love the term Mormon and that I fit in that catagory. The best one line description of what I love about being Mormon is that I've been blessed with peace and purpose because of it. I also love diversity in people, culture, and lifestyle. Diversity represents freedom to me and not just the freedom talked about in terms of being American. The freedom that inspires me is the freedom that God gives every man to choose his own path and make his own life. That we are each agents in charge of ourself and our own happiness. I believe that the moment this type of freedom is gone, our potential for growth and happiness in this life are gone.

One of the beliefs I cherish as a Mormon is this:

We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
