"When Satan wants to disrupt the work of the Lord, he doesn't poison the world's peanut butter supply, thus bringing the church's missionary system to its collective knees. He doesn't send a plague of laryngitis to afflict the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. He doesn't legislate against green Jell-O or casseroles. When evil wants to strike out and disrupt the essence of God's work, it attacks the family."

are contrary to scripture, then we should not pursue them further."

(Joseph B. Wirthlin, "Shall He Find Faith on the Earth?" Ensign, Nov. 2002, 84)
