Scripture Sunday Alma 31:30-31

Alma is long, wordy, and can be boring. So here is more of him. 

Religious people love to complain about the sin and immorality in the world-they are partially right, and partially wrong. Right-Because there is a lot of sin and immorality-wrong, because the world is still a wonderful place. 

Alma is complaining here. Apparently the man has never heard of Job. He sounds self righteous, but at least he is sincerely self righteous. He also seems to love his people-even though they drive him crazy with their afflictions.   

He also does the right thing by turning to God and asking him for comfort. That's admirable in itself.
