29 For verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another.
30 Behold, this is not my doctrine, to stir up the hearts of men with anger, one against another; but this is my doctrine, that such things ashould be done away.
We can disagree, but we need to remain civil. We need to look for what unites us and not just what divides. It is then that we will find common ground and look for the best solutions. We need to strive to do this in our homes, our families, our churches and our communities and to encourage our government representatives to do the same.
"Love is the only force that can erase the differences between people" ~ Gordon B. Hinckley (And the Greatest of These Is Love, Ensign, Mar 1984)
