LDS Church expresses disappointment in California gay marriage decision

Maybe the IRS needs to take their tax exempt status away.
Today, the American people took one step closer to being swept off this choice land.
I say to each their own - as long as their isn't a victim there shouldn't be a law opposing it. (Victim can be person/business etc...) There is no victim in a same-sex marriage, there is only a victim for someone who wants one and can't have one due to the laws of their state.
GOOD JOB CALIFORNIA!
I'm done with this issue. If God has a problem with people that are born gay, he can rain down fire and brimstone. As for me, I say live and let live.
I can find hundreds of worse problems than whether someone is born gay.
BTW You "No one is born gay" people are just plain ignorant.
Time for California to impeach some judges!
Did the nation also get Edmunds-Tucker wrong in the late 1880's?
Remember: "what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander"
I really question the moral equity that exists in our supposed elightened and egalitarian country.
How could this decision be unfortunate? Why should religious dogma in this day and age trump human rights? Look around the world real hard and see what dogma has accomplished for man kind. Do we really want to contunue this kind of hate against a group, and what's the reason again?
Mass doesn't seem to have collapsed.
Not all Americans care about Ether. I'm guessing it's a part of the BOM.
That is what liberals stand for. "We know what is right for the people." They actually believe that people cannot decide and vote for themselves, so they will tell us what is right and wrong.
All of California's Supreme Court justices were Republican appointees except one. They're considered a very centrist court, not left-leaning.
Just remember that just because laws can be changed to make something "legal" does NOT mean that laws can be changed to make something "right" or moral. Wickedness never was (or will be) happiness, and the only way to feel peace is to follow ALL of God's laws, not just the ones that are easy.
The Church has an obligation to be the voice of warning in times of trouble, and to urge people to do what is right always.
What about the churches that voices opposition to Prop 22? Do you want to see THEIR tax exempt status revoked?
Are you upset that liberal churches were active in politics during the civil rights movement? Or that churches were on BOTH sides of the slavery issue in the 19th century?
What about the black churches actively supporting Obama's campaign?
Or do you only get upset when conservative churches exercise their right to voice opinions on moral matters?
Typical liberal hypocrisy.
Will the philosophy of natural law, upon which the government of the United States be logical enough for you?
There are over six billion souls on this planet. Without exception, every single one of us is the product of a heterosexual union. All children have natural and biological parents, to whom they hold a natural and inalienable Right. Children have a natural attachment to parents, and vice versa. This natural attachment is dulled only through the synthetic lifestyle occasioned by a modern machine civilization that was not present when the Philosophers of Natural Law established the basis of Natural Jurisprudence, of which marriage forms a part.
The marriage contract strengthens and validates the bonds that form naturally within the biological family as a result of procreation.
There is no question about what nature intended by sexual distinction. It matters little whether or not a person is born with same-gender attraction. Those born blind are not granted drivers licenses. Marriage licenses are likewise unsuited to the homosexual.
Homosexuals falsely claim that they have been denied the rights of heterosexuals. If a gay man wants to marry a woman, the law will not prevent him.
Who does it harm?
What is truly immoral is dismissing gay people for wanting to make a long term commitment under law as an equal citizen of the U.S.A. Even more immoral is encouraging gays to ignore their homosexuality and get married to cure their natural attractions. I know because my LDS brother has hid his homosexuality and accepted the advise of LDS authorities back in the 70's and 80's. If his church had been more accepting of him, he would have not thought it necessary to hide it from everyone, and it would have prevented him from starting a family with woman he never loved him.
Yes, the LDS Church is far from perfect.
The "people" do NOT get to pass any law they want. That's exactly why you have a court to protect the RIGHTS of the minority FROM he majority.
Your philosophy is scary. Maybe the majority will vote to tar and feather everyone who calls themself "Scary". Constittutions and Bills of Rights are nice.
