That's good to hear

Interesting article in the Economist this week about Americans and religion.  Here's the link; I think you'll enjoy, especially since it's positive.  

In the less happy section came a (to me) reassuring line:

"When the authors asked respondents to rank their feelings about other religions . . . Mormons liked everyone else..."

Considering all that we know about Heavenly Father, his plan, our brother and sisterhood, etc.  and all that we've been commanded by Christ and by his recent prophets (and past ones), that is a relief to me.  I think it's true, and that's good.  It's much less important, but I was still happy to know that statistical data also supports that we are living the teachings of Christ in that aspect. 

As this one little Mormon, I can say that I truly love most people (including true, welling up love for crowds on the T and other places where I don't even know the folks).  And I truly do feel a great, great affinity for other religious people; it's wonderful to share the most important things with others.
