In our town we have a special needs school that was a bit run down. A group of local mormons have spent the last 2 weeks building playgrounds and planting trees. As a devout athiest I would like to say thanks to the mormons for this kind gesture.

This is great to hear!
For the past few years, in my city, they have a clean-up day. They pick a run down neighborhood and with donated supplies we paint the exterior of homes, clean up the yard, etc.... It's hard work, fun and very messy (especially when you paint yourself).
The Mormons are ALWAYS the biggest group of volunteers.

Service is a huge part of the LDS Church. Our youth groups regularly do service for others.
Thank you for Sharing this experience with us. It is nice to hear something nice said about us.
Thank you!
BTW- It's Never too late to accept the Savior into your life.

Thank you! We are all neighbors. It may or may not be the religon that drives people to good deeds. But we like many other religons believe in good christian service.

what does the nature of anyones beliefs or religion have to do with building a playground in a special needs school?
2007-10-07 06:00:12 · answer #5 · answered by Anonymous · 4⤊ 2⤋
why not, they are people who think highly of sacred institution of family, it is a good religion to follow
but must you believe in everything religion says in order to live life in a certain manner?
should not

I think when people seperate themeselves by religion it leads to stereotypes and vulnerabilities. It would be much easier just to leave religion out of it, and treat them as everyone else eg. "I would like to thank the group of people who recently helped out at the local school".
Besides, the last group of mormons I met spat at me because I didn't attend church (I am an atheist). I spat back. :D
