God was willing to drown you if you supported the Civil Rights Amendment

It's true. Read the letter.

The World According to Delbert

So Stapley believes we should follow Joseph Smith's teachings when it comes to civil rights, because those who have acted contrarily (he cites the fates of three U.S. presidents and a personal friend) have met a terrible end.

Ummmmmm.............

Re: God was willing to drown you if you supported the Civil Rights Amendment

It was not a constitutional amendment, it was the civil rights act of 1964. Incidentally, while it was strongly supported by Lyndon Johnson, it passed in Congress with substantial Republican support. Southern Dems, aka Dixiecrats, were generally opposed.

Tough act, trying to convince oneself that no, I am not racist, and having as recourse only fairy-tales from which to draw various proofs


(But when authority is externalized, it's all ya got!)
