After reading about yet another multi-million-dollar temple being built by the LDS Church in Haiti, I have one little request of its followers. Please ask your deity to stop requesting so much fancy bling bling built to pay homage to his authority and greatness. Seriously, isn't life on Kolob going well enough for Yahweh and Jesus that he needs so much expensive glory built in his honor?
Please pray to your deity so maybe we could use that money to feed, house and build useful infrastructure for the needy of Haiti, rather than give them a structure showing them how superior your gods are and they are not. Is that so much to ask?
It's up to you to soften your gods' hearts. Please pray to them for change and to be more Christ-like.
