Super Angie...why?

Why do some LDS church members find it soooo important to dwell on things that really don't matter?
Two rants:
Shouldn't we be focusing on loving one another and keeping our lives in check, instead of condeming church members for not wearing a white shirt to church? I mean seriously! DOES IT MATTER? Isn't it more important to be thankful that someone is coming to church at all--why does it matter if the guy is wearing a blue shirt instead of a white? Shouldn't we be fellowshipping instead of condeming? Isn't the loving one another the first and great commandment?

Another thing that gets on my nerves...why do people love to dive into urban legends, or "church" doctrine that isn't real? Example: some people are so hung up on the fact that the Book of Mormon takes place in Central America, and yet the plates were found in upstate New York. HOLY COW! Some people, LDS church members (not anti church people) believe and preach that there were two hill cumorahs. Surely there is no possible way someone could have journied 3,000 miles to bury the plates up in N.Y. GASP! (please note the sarcasm). Rick and I were talking about this the other day and he found the funniest article written by Sidney B. Sperry.
WHY do people waste their time on this stuff? Seriously!!! Does it matter? Why write such an article? Will it get you to heaven faster, or will you be like more holy or something if you figure this none-sense out? I find it so offensive. What, so Moroni was a weakling and couldn't possibly have walked that far? Um...didn't the pioneers walk a long way too, or was that all just fake?

Give me a break!

Then we found this site that says, " However, in recent years some LDS scholars have stated that the hill in New York is not the Hill Cumorah, scene of the last battle of the Book of Mormon peoples. Who are we to believe? Is a BYU professor more reliable than the President of the LDS Church or an Apostle?" Um, Jospeh Fielding Smith said the hill in NY is the right hill, and President Hinkley said the same thing.

Then later it says, " The Church has long maintained, as attested to by references in the writings of General Authorities, that the Hill Cumorah in western New York state is the same as referenced in the Book of Mormon." which is an official statement from the church.

So, I concur... why do people get off on subjects like this? Can it possibly help their salvation in anyway?

Lets get back to Gospel Principles and stop focusing on this none-sense!
