Commentary: The sad case of the dueling ‘Deadpool’ petitions

The recent Change.org petition battle between the “Once Upon a Deadpool” poster either 1) being a “form of religious discrimination” or 2) being based on a painting that itself is “racial discrimination” is coming to a head. Be prepared for multiple social media comments of outrage and articles in the Utah news cycle.

Clearly, both petitions are incorrect in their assumptions and attempts at changing the world, one movie poster or painting at a time.

The Christianity that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints purports is a Christianity of turning the other cheek.
