Mormons Raise $8.4 Million for Prop. 8

its so funny how you say that lds are evil. on tuesday i had to call the police because someone got the no on proposition 8 i had and came and riped it of and left me the sweetest note that said f- you in graffiti and its also funny that they want to have a family and are showing a great example using violence. thank you for everything you do for us even if its over and we won. but don't give up.

From what I can understand, from all I have read, it seems to me that people for Prop 8, whether Mormon or not, want the institution of "marriage" to remain a union between a man and a woman. Why fight over a word? I would think the important thing would be the legal right of gay and lesbian couples to have a union which gives them the same legal rights and privilages "married" couples receive. Call that union by some other name and concentrate on receiving those rights instead of spending all that time and energy on this fight.

For the last time, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints does NOT practice polygamy. And no, I am not one of the "younger" members either. My husband and I were married for time and all eternity, and that is the new and everlasting covenant. There are no other spouses in our marriage, nor will there ever be. Not to mention, but this proposition also address polygamy. Becuase it is defining marriage as between "A man and A woman," it by definition bans polygamous marriages too.

As for Mormons being filled with hate... what hateful thing has the church said or done? They donate millions monthly to the poor and sick. They teach nothing but love and kindness to everyone, even enemies. Why don't you read the Bible and see what all of the prophets of old did? They chastized those who were homosexual. It's God's law. I am a Christian, and I know God loves everyone, but he doesn't have to love what they do.

I've never respected any religion more the LDS church. I don't know what actions of their prophet or apostles you could name that are evil. They are the most upstanding citizens, the local leaders (Bishops, etc.) don't get paid a dime for what they do. The members of this church are unbelievably charitable and selfless. I'm not a member mostly because I'm lazy and don't want to make the efforts that their members must make. Voting yes on Prop 8 does not mean they follow blindly. It means they value the sanctity of marriage and don't want their 5 years olds thinking it's okay to be with their same sex. Gay marriage exposes young children to the immoralities spoken of in the bible that are an abomination to the Lord. I would rather be naive and simple minded like a child, than deal with legal gay marriage and have children's minds tainted so early on. I think it's sickening what this world has come to.

Standard LDS Doctrine. They believe homosexuality is a sin. You cannot be gay and belong to the LDS Church. They are a HIGHLY political group and although many of the younger members would like to believe otherwise, the church does believe in Polygamy. The Prophet received a revelation from God to withhold it from the earth once the US Gov turned up the heat on them to abandon the practice. It is one of their most important principles called the new and everlasting covenant. You only enter highest kingdom of heaven if you are a participant. I believe it is their right to believe as they do. I believe people should be allowed to live originally and as individuals and pursue their own happiness. I find it funny that they believe it is perfectly acceptable for one male to have multiple wives (once that Doctrine is restored), yet they are unwilling to allow two gay people who love each other to enjoy the same rights they enjoy.

Not all members of this church follow blindly and can't think for themselves. I know a few who are voting no on prop 8. Who says that you have to follow and believe everything your religion teaches?

lol mormons are not pologymists. lol mormons are not hatefilled. lol mormons help millions of poor people all the time, but people dont complain then...lol mormons are not a cult, lol amazing how threatened people are by a group of people who are only 13 million people strong worldwide...why? It makes me wonder why there are so many anti mormons out there? Why do you all post such hateful remarks against mormons but then get mad at them for being "hatefilled" - it is like calling the kettle black... What is your point that you hate mormons? Do you hate every church out there or do you only hate the ones that don't agree with you? LOL LOL LOL Why dont you all get a clue and just be loving and accept that fact that we all live in AMERICA where we can all vote and have opinions....that is why we live here... why do you care so much about mormons - let them do there thing - you do your thing...get over it. LOL

Wow, you people are ignorant. You know nothing about the Mormon church or how it runs. The church DOES pay taxes, and this money is in ADDITION to the ten percent of all income that members pay for tithing - a large portion of which goes to the disadvantaged. Oh, and I happen to know the family of an apostle and they have donated for Prop 8, so your sources are false, Daisy. And before you all go off on marriage and mormons, read up on your history. You have no idea what you're talking about. Do you really think you're going to get accurate information from anti-mormon sites? If you want to find out about something, go to the source. Mormon.org.
