If LDS are supposed to be so nice, then why do they things like that to others who are non-LDS???

Because they are only human...their religion is irrelevant. Being LDS doesn't make them to immune to behaving like an ***...just like being Catholic doesn't, or Protestant, or Baptist, or black, or asian, or yellow polka dotted.

I am sorry your nephew is having troubles. I am failing to see why religion is such an issue. I think it becomes an issue if that is the scapegoat that one looks for. If someone doesn't like me, I don't assume right off the bat that it is because I am not LDS. I figure they don't like me because they don't like me. Honestly, I could care WHY, because if they don't I wouldn't want to associate with them anyway.

Religion and parents are the issue, IMHO.
The kids would pick on my nephew and tell him that he was the devil and was going to hell because he was non-LDS. And it happened on several occasions - not just one or two.
He is not a bad kid at all. My brother and his wife are strict parents.
I just don't understand how a religion could teach people to be kind, but then ostracize others who were not willing to convert to their religion.

Well LAFrench...it also has to do with the way the parents were raised. Trust me the LDS that are born and raised here in Utah are completely different than the transplanted ones..i have seen this with my own eyes and the LDS I do talk to will tell you the same things.

Why can't people just get along and not give a hoot about race, sex, or religion?
We all have red blood and feelings too. C'mon people - wake up!!
Just treat one another as you would like to be treated, be true to yourself and your family and everything will work itself out as it always has.
