"Do not contend or debate over points of doctrine. The Master warned that
'the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil.' (3
Ne. 11:29.) We are inconsistent if we resort to Satanic tactics in
attempting to achieve righteous ends. Such inconsistency results only in
frustration, loss of the Spirit, and ultimate defeat. Remember, 'We claim the
privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own
conscience, and allow all men the same privilege.' (Eleventh
Article of Faith.)" — Carlos E.

"A person's freedom should never be suppressed by men, by Satan, nor by our
Lord. Men should never be in bondage one to another. While Satan would like us
under his control, God does not control the actions of men. He has given us our
agency to combat the trials, temptations, and evils of every kind. However, he
gives certain principles that, if followed, will lead us back to his presence.
God's kingdom is founded upon perfect liberty. Every man, woman, and child has
the right to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. Each
person alone is responsible to his creator for his individual acts." —

Our Free Agency," Ensign, May 1975, p. 22

"This love of which the Savior spoke, and which he emphasizes as being the
most important thing in life, must begin in the home and then be carried into
our daily lives. Tolerance and respect for others' beliefs must be taught in the
home. Children must learn to love and live and play with those of differing
beliefs, while being staunch and true to their own convictions and
teachings." — N. Eldon

Great Commandments," Ensign, July 1980, p. 3-4

"What credibility can possibly be given to a person who mocks beliefs held
sacred by another? Anyone who would resort to these attacks unwittingly
discloses his or her true character--or lack of the same. As members of the
Church, we are appalled by such attacks. Hopefully, however, they make us more
sensitive and extra careful not to make light of the sacred beliefs of other
denominations." — Glenn L.

"Let us reach out in friendship and love to our neighbors, including those
of other faiths, thus helping to build better family-to-family relationships and
greater harmony in our neighborhoods. Remember, too often our behavior is a
bigger deterrent to others than is our doctrine. In the spirit of love for all
men, women, and children, help them to understand and to feel accepted and
appreciated." — M. Russell
Ballard, "Beware
of False Prophets and False Teachers," "Ensign," Nov.
1999, p. 64
