Proposition 8 made me quit the Mormon church

The Mormon Church is full of wonderful, caring people that have a sense of morality about them. Myself, I am a Baptist, but I applaud their efforts in California. The homosexuals lost. They should suck it up and accept that they will not be able to distort the institution of marriage. I urge all of you who agree with my statements to contact your Senators and Congressmen and urge them to push for a Constitutional Convention. This would afford us the opportunity to put a permanet stop to the agenda of the American Homosexual.

I just cant see how this so called church (cult) can judge the gay community like this. I thought that the church believed in free agency. I must have been wrong with this because I always thought that we had the right to choose but with every choice there is a consequence.
I also think that they are a bit hypocritical with this stance also. I mean look at the churches past with polygamy. I know that it isn't practiced now but, the church has always said that they must follow the rules of the land. when Joseph Smith was alive though he had many wives and it was illegal then.

To the author:
Your loss
Churches gain.
No I am not a member of the LDS.

three cheers for the mormon church, just think what the baptist could do if they would get off their butts

"three cheers for the mormon church, just think what the baptist could do if they would get off their butts "

If it's anything like now, that would be, commit adultery, drive drunk, say their sorry, and get off the hook. That's nothing new, that's baptist anarchy. That's already widespread anywhere baptists go.

They have a divorce rate of 28%. For the nation at large, it's 19%. I guess, that means you'd be opening up a divorce court and using the judges instead of a constitutional convention, but for divorce settlements, right?

A-men, brother? Say you're sorry for repentance, and that's all you have to do? Prisons would empty in minutes, right? As long as you don't speak in tongues.

There is a movement in place to put homosexuals in prison. If our Constitutional Amendment is successful in WV in 2 years, not only will it ban marriage and adoption by gays, it will declare that homosexual acts are punishable by up to one year in the county jail. There is strong and I mean strong baptist support for this movement. This is a way to keep known homosexuals from pushing their agenda on the public. If they march and are holding hands or kissing or embracing, don't worry about it....they can be jailed and that will surely shut them up. See how far there message gets them in jail. Let's just say, "don't drop the soap."

"it will declare that homosexual acts are punishable by up to one year in the county jail. "

The SCOTUS decides constitutionality, and it said those acts are not illegal. If Wv passes that law, it will be nothing but a pyrrhic victory for the radical right. Even their right wing court doesn't agree with them.

Funny too, how Ken Mehlman, practicing gay, was running the party against it, right? Kinda makes you realize it was just rabble rousing.

I don't agree with the pro-gay thing in MA, as I've listened to their tapes, and it seemed like they were trying to convert people, rather than objectively explain. Butthat doesn't look to be the case among most gays in wV. Are you saying, that in WV there are people crazy enough to try and defy the SCOTUS and put people in jail for it? do you have a web link for that?

"ee how far there message gets them in jail."

If only we could do that with baptists, the divorce rate would drop for those people by a third.

Sit back and watch what we put before the voters. There is major support for an amendement to the state constitution to criminalize homosexual acts and ban same-sex marriage and adoptions. If the homosexuals don't like it, they can move.

Anyone who would blame prop 8 on the mormons is an uninformed idiot. It all the mormons in the country were the ONLY ones voting for prop 8 it could not have come CLOSE to passing. So blame it on the mormons you idiot! Why don't you get a life and become informed.
