Absolutely no depth to the dishonesty and hate of the scum bag LDS Church

[cboy4]

Again, not all Mormons are filth. I know Mormons who are gay and decent human beings,

But yes, the leadership of the LDS and many, many of its membership are lying, hateful, fear mongering cheats who actually believe they're Christians.

Church Response to California Supreme Court Decision on Proposition 8

SALT LAKE CITY 26 May 2009 Today’s decision by the California Supreme Court is welcome. The issue the court decided was whether California citizens validly exercised their right to amend their own constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman. The court has overwhelmingly affirmed their action.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recognizes the deeply held feelings on both sides, but strongly affirms its belief that marriage should be between a man and a woman. The bedrock institution of marriage between a man and a woman has profound implications for our society. These implications range from what our children are taught in schools to individual and collective freedom of religious expression and practice.

Accordingly, the Church stands firmly for what it believes is right for the health and well-being of society as a whole. In doing so, it once again affirms that all of us are children of God, and all deserve to be treated with respect.

The Church believes that serious discussion of these issues is not helped when extreme elements on both sides of the debate demonize the other.

:rofl:

THAT'S RICH!!

1. You need to put scare-quotes around "church." n/t

2. It's a church.

Being hateful, politicized or an obvious scam doesn't make it any less of a church, most of them are at least one or two of the three.

3. It's a political organization. n/t

[LeftyMom]

4. Most of them are.

It's still a church.

[Ian David]

6. It's a political organization using a church & its (often) well-intentioned parishoners as cover. nt

5. Ditto, the Catholic Church...

...especially Archbishop Niederauer of the Arch Diocese of San Francisco. It was Niederauer who orchestrated the Mormon Church's involvement in Prop H8.
