  1. I just read the Iron Gate Grill article and I have to say I do not understand what the church is doing. Why the inconsistency? What a dumb move. Actions like this just serve to further extend the divide between LDS and non-LDS in Utah.

  2. The Church will likely be criticized by some for denying this business a liquor license but it is nice to see somebody (or organization) standing up for what it believes in. If you look at most of our country's "leaders" they change their "beliefs" to fall in line with what they believe to be most popular at that moment.

    Way to stand up for what you believe in!
