Commentary: As we say, ‘R’Amen to that’
Roger Strand As a former member of the LDS Church, and a current ordained minister in The Church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster, I can truly appreciate the article in the Nov. 25 Tribune regarding The Church of The State of Utah Legislature and The Church of the Utah Republican Party (“The Lord’s name: Can Latter-day Saints abide it?”).
The Saints, under the inspired command of the Lord through President Russell Nelson, I believe are in effect joining the scores of churches that represent Christendom by demanding that its members no longer use the shortened versions of their name, as such nicknames provide a major victory for Satan.
