Always seeking to “liken” the scriptures to our day, I came across this teaching of the Antichrist Korihor in the Book of Mormon. See if It doesn’t remind you of the current rantings of the anti-vaccine crowd. Alma 30:27 [Korihor to the High Priest] “And thus ye lead away this people after the foolish traditions of your fathers, and according to your own desires; and ye keep them down, even as it were in bondage, that ye may glut yourselves with the labors of their hands, that they durst not look up with boldness, and that they durst not enjoy their rights and privileges.”
Just because someone couches their rhetoric in high-sounding terms of “rights and privileges,” doesn’t mean they have anything valuable to say.
