What was Mormon church policy or race?
::You all might want to consider taking it down a notch. Any tool for manipulating or understanding the world, be it science or a ball peen hammer, can be misused. We obviously cannot live in this world in any reasonable way without science...the next world, well, a different story. But now, we are here, so we must strive to use all of our tools morally. You shouldn't slam a hammer into someone's head just because it is the right tool for the job. You shouldn't alter science to fit an ideology, just because it is a good tool for the job.[[User:JoyousOne|JoyousOne]] 16:45, 15 May 2007 (EDT)

==[[Mormon]] church policy==
Cut from article:
:The [[Mormon]] church supported racist policies into the 1960s.
We need to specify what these policies were. The word "racist" is vague. Did they, for example, say blacks are the devil? Or not allow blacks to join? Or allow blacks to join but not to be leaders? Or what? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 16:55, 15 May 2007 (EDT)
