'Solid, Strong, True'

Hateful. Meanness. Bitterness. I don't like it. We're all sons and daughters of God, and therefore in a very literal sense, brothers and sisters. And we ought to treat each other that way.

Joseph Smith the Prophet seems a lot different than Gordon B. Hinckley the Prophet.

Well, I was reading David McCullough the other day. He made a very, very interesting statement. He said George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and so on did not live in the past. They lived in their present. And they didn't have all the answers while they were living. And that's the way it was. Joseph Smith, he didn't live in the past, he lived in his present and walked accordingly and faced those problems.

Are Mormons Christian?

Of course we are Christians. He's the whole cornerstone of our faith. His name is in the name of the church. And this book [the Book of Mormon] is another testament of him.

The church has strict codes of living that members are held accountable for. Why do you still attract so many followers?
