A Scottish member of Parliament recently was called out because of his religious beliefs. Stephen Kerr, a Tory from Stirling, is also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In other word(s), Mormon.
A pro-Scottish independence columnist satirically seized on Kerr’s religious beliefs, writing about Kerr’s claim that Scotland could not afford to be an independent state while he simultaneously held a belief in angels. As if one had everything to do with the other.
Kerr was understandably upset. There isn’t much he can do about it, though. The columnist is entitled to express her opinion about certain beliefs.
