(November 10, 2015)
With
our modern sensibilities, many of us (particular those in the legal profession)
like to believe that we are beyond the idea of condemning the righteous because
of their righteousness and letting the guilty and the wicked go unpunished
because of their money.
But we
neglect this passage to our peril, because Mormon saw our day and saw fit to
include this comment. And if we rewrite
this only slightly, it becomes something frighteningly accurate for our current
legal morass. We condemn the righteous
because of their unpopular stances, and we let the guilty and the wicked go
unpunished because of their demographics or political ideology. Is there any doubt that this happens? It happens all the time, sadly.
