To persecute for being of a different opinion is as absurd as to persecute for having a different countenance : if we honor God , keep sacred the pure doctrines of Christ , put a full confidence in the promises contained in the Holy Scriptures , and obey the political laws of the state in which we reside , we have an undoubted right to protection instead of persecution , and to serve heaven as our consciences , regulated by the Gospel rules , may direct . Before I continue , I should mention the two weeks that transpired before my first week as a DMP Summer mentee . Formal education now extends well past physical maturity , leaving students with minds that are , he said , " unfinished . I thank you for your insite , although I disagree , I respect you for your honesty and passion . If you continue , I will not bomb you . But I will not attempt to state the mode in a few hasty abstractions that must of necessity be more or less imperfect , to be flippantly pooh-poohed at and set aside on the first glance at its extreme simplicity , nor will I put it into print at all , to fall into the dirty hands of the " Ogre " ; but as opportunities offer , I submit the thoughts in my own time and way to careful , cultured , patient enquirers , for their criticisms , and acceptance or rejection .
