But I believe Satan would be far more interested in lying to prevent a good cause than in lying to promote it. The LDS Church is a force for good--why would Satan create a Church that actively seeks to do good? Just one small example: I will be accused of bragging, probably, but . . .today I spent two hours at the LDS Humanitarian Center in Salt Lake City. There were over 150 people from the one Stake I belong to. All of us together filled almost 13, 000 sanitary kits for shipment to Haiti or any other country with a population of displaced persons due to war, natural disasters, or whatever. The Center held three 2 hr sessions today, with over 450 people putting together nearly 40,000 kits. This was just one day at the Center. The LDS Church is often the very first to reach stricken areas with this type of aid. While at the Center, I saw hundreds of large bales of clothing and blankets ready to be shipped. The Church does not seek to proselyte the recipients of this aid. Does this sound like a Satan inspired organization? If so, I would suggest that Satan himself had repented of his evil lying, and I would seek to baptise him.
