“Voters in my State of California need to pass a new law (ballot initiative) stating that, “Mormonism is not a real and true religious faith.” This law shall eliminate tax-exempt status of any LDS church and mormons will no longer be a protected-class status on the basis of religion.”

I think we’d have had more chance of getting them demoted for financing politics. They are expressly forbidden from doing so. There is a form you can print out to file a complaint, just search for it; you’ll find it.

Tee hee. You christian supremists are so cute, like a toddler who does something neato. It’s funny that you take your false sense of entitlement to every corner of the earth then act surprised when we non-christians, tired of your attempts at colonizing and converting, decide to crash big aeroplanes into your buildings. Keep your god and your beliefs to yourself. Jesus wasn’t a magician or someone with special powers. He was just a typical flashy faggot with tricks up his sleeves! Oh, and he was HOT. I’d totally tap Christ’s ass!

Amen, Pat! Focus on the Family and all the other religious right ministries who keep focusing on the unsaved world’s sins such as homosexuality, need to first take the plank out of their own eyes………….Get the adultery (as defined by Jesus) out of our camp so that we may rightly be able to help those who are stumbling/not right with Jesus. Right now we have NO credibility. Dobson’s own son is divorced and remarried(in adultery)……..Divorce and remarriage is rampant in the 700 club staff, it is rampant at TBN. We talk about “traditional/biblical marriage” yet we are not walking the walk. As a Christian who SEES the hypocrisy and has written about it extensively, I am frustrated with the blindness in the professing Church at it’s own sins………

Amen pat miaoulis,

I think your 100% right in your post and so you know I am a devout Gay Roman Catholic who reads the whole Bible and such.

I too (just as my church teaches) believe that marriage is for life. You make a vow to God (which Jesus spoke about in the Gospels) and in that vow you say “Till death do us part.”

I myself am in a relationship which many don’t recognize. However we did find a Priest who secretly married us in the eye’s of God.

We have been together now for 17 years and we are still very much in love with each other. We both know that we are married, wear rings to remind us of the vows we made and understand what “TILL DEATH DO WE PART”

Thank You for your post and message. It was right on and perfect.

well, lets just speak truth here…divorce isnt something God likes in fact he detest…whether christian or not..yet believers which i am proud to say i am…..dont follow what the bible teaches..marriage is for life and death only ends a marriage..no civil court has authority to end a marriage..only death and God controls that…as far as unbelivers wanting marriage ,civil unions, etc…well the laws of the land dictates that now doesnt it…christians have to obey those laws but we are commanded no to be part of it..in other words we arent to divorce but if we do we are to remain single or reconcile…christians act like the rest of the world and marry divorce and remarry..makes you question there salvation doesnt it..and by the way no religion has the authority to annul a marriage either..so when all these good people have there views and rightfully so the religion of this world has set it up..we dont do what we preach when it comes tom remarriage and divorce..if we did we wouldnt allow someone divorced and remaaried become memebers of our church but we would ask them to repent…if you want to be a religeous hypocrite then you are..if you want to be the light of this fallen world as christians , then stay married, we dont need a law by man saying divorce is illegal..God already says remarriage is! and he detest divorce..we dont need mans laws telling us what to do now do we…as far as gays etc getting married and the religeous right fighting them…tkae the log out of our own eyes first before we can ever be the light to those who we know are apart from God…the church ahs turned more away from the truth of the bible by its twisting of the truth…so christians you want to fight for marriage then keep your vows..no matter what..divorce doesnt end your marriage to your first spouse..only death…so trying to say its sactified it is but the church is guilty of not teaching the truth abouth remarriage now has it…there is no reason for remarriage as long as your spouse is alive…divorce for adultry some say is right…jesus said it was not that way in the beginning..it was for life…..so come on those who say they have ade jesus lord..repent..show the world the truth…then and only then csn we lead those astray back to God…repent for the kingdom of God is near, never more true! so all the ones saying a law against divorce have there man made laws and rights too…as for a believer we have our laws by God!we are to live by Gods word..not the worlds..hey prostitition is legal by man…gays getting married is legal by man…who do we as believrs follow..man or God…let me end in saying all the nonbelievers im sorry for the witness you have seen in a christian to turn you from the Lord..i pray you see the need for jesus to be your savior and lord..but then again he wont force himself or his will on you and neither do i…i just ask you to read his bible with an open heart and see the truth…and i pray the religeous hypocrites repent and follow the truth of his word as well..remember jesus fought agaisnt the religeous hypocrites too, yet went to the sinners to teach and set his example…may the Lord open the eyes of your hearts who read this…..

Amen Freedom,
Now you understand how many Gay and Lesbian men and women feel having the Religious Reich’s beliefs dictate who they can and can not marry based on the religious view of such narrow minded people.

I really like how you stated “Why should the rest of use be forced to participate in your values when they are not our own?”

If the Religious Reich can say that “marriage is a sacred vow” then they should set an example and stand behind their moral hypocrisy and outlaw divorce completely with the same fervor as they use to persecute those who do not believe as they do.

I also like the way you bring up the fact that marriage is a contract and not a religious institution unlike what many in the Religious Reich want to make it into.

I’m still wondering why and when marriage became anything but a writ of ownership over a woman and her property as marriage had been for more then 5,000 years. It wasn’t until the 20th century that women even had any rights at all.

History has shown that the Religious Reich fought over giving women any rights at all just as the Religious Reich (namely Southern Baptists) fought to keep their slaves which they claimed was their right under God because the bible said so.

In this case the bible (both testaments) does discourage making “a vow to God” and then breaking it. It sure shows just how much their word is worth especially when they lie to their own GOD and break their word to Him/her in the company of so many others- shame, shame on these hypocrites.

I personally think this bill is a wake-up call to the Religious Reich that if they are going to turn marriage into this Holy Institution then they are also going to need to live by that institutions basic values which I feel is the message this bill is trying to set.

Maybe the national divorce rate might drop since the majority of divorce is after all based on the Religious Reich’s Fundamentalism and conservative views.

I cannot believe this act is being taken seriously. Shame on all of you. How dare you think you have any right to get involved in the lives of others. What gives you or your god the right to dictate how the rest of us live our lives? What about abusive spouses? What about loveless marriage? Why should a child have to grow up watching two parents fight because they should no longer be married? Why should two people suffer through a bad relationship because they just weren’t as good of a match as they thought. The fact of the matter is, marriage is a contract. And like most contracts, it can be broken if both parties see that the arrangement isn’t working. Your god had nothing to do with my marriage, and he had nothing to do with my divorce either. Getting married was the worst decision I have ever made, and getting a divorce was the best. For those who feel that marriage is a sacred and religious act, more power to you. You have the right to worship how you see fit. However, not everyone shares your beliefs. Why should the rest of use be forced to participate in your values when they are not our own? This is the same empirialist attitude that has oppressed and killed thousands, maybe millions. What gives you the right?

Oh and by the way it is in the constitution that this country was built on that there should always be a SEPARATION of church and state. KEEP YOUR RELIGION OUT OF MY GOVERNMENT!

Voters in my State of California need to pass a new law (ballot initiative) stating that, “Mormonism is not a real and true religious faith.” This law shall eliminate tax-exempt status of any LDS church and mormons will no longer be a protected-class status on the basis of religion.

Another law can state, “Only marriage between two adults of the same religious faith is valid or recognized in California.” So that young non-Mormon women (like myself) can protect ourselves from abusive, dishonest Mormon men, YES! =]

I just have to point out @ lastblast, one more time, that “irregardless” isn’t a word.

Your god didn’t help you with the vocab, did “he”?
