I saw this on Facebook a few days ago and thought it was made up. Apparently it is am actual speech that was given by a stake president in the salt lake valley.
One of the beautiful things about religion is being able to speak your opinion as a leader, claim you're speaking the words the spirit wants you to say, and suddenly your words are more than just your own thoughts and opinions - they are backed by the Almighty himself.
I think this guy was speaking his opinions and wanted to be believed and seen as inspired as opposed to opinionated so he threw in that he was speaking by the power of the Holy Ghost.
Oh brother.
