Paul said he gloried in his sufferings that he suffered for Christ, and I feel to rejoice with him.
God bless all who stand up for what is right and are persecuted and scorned for it!
The old addage of "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me" is still true.
Why do we need to do anything to people who don't know any better? Of course if it will make anyone happier, go ahead. As for me, I know what is right and what is wrong as many of us do.
This too shall pass. Heavenly Father is still in charge and we are all just renting space here on earth.
Keep the faith and follow the Prophet and all will be well!
A choice of behavior" does not equal a "right". That would be like saying people who commit adultery deserve special rights and privileges because they choose to engage in a certain behavior.
I'm glad someone brought this up. Didn't the Supreme Court (the court of last resort) define marriage when it upheld the anti-bigamy statute of Edmonds-Tucker? Why are we having to make this part of each individual state constitution? Love to hear from the lawyers out there. Oh, one more question: what would it take to repeal the ammendment to the CA constitution? Is it just a simple majority again, or a different type of outcome? thanks!
Marriage and same-sex just makes no sense. It would be like feminists demanding that they be allowed to have fatherhood. It's a crazy idea.
My hat is off to the LDS church for their efforts. In California the homosexual individuals already have laws in place for their desire to "domestic partner" with one another. I see no need for them to attack the sanctity of marriage. In fact, to view this from a religious history would easily align such an attack with an undergrowth of evil pushing it. How many times throughout history have Christians been persecuted in every way imaginable? Is this yet another chapter in that history unfolding?
Pray for the homosexual mind to receive God's help in overcoming their affliction. Pray they remove the chains of their ways.
Sorry, to blame this on the Mormon Church seems to be just too convenient (at the very least).
How then can the judges in California act contrary to their own constitution?
I too am glad it passed. Any future requests for support for similar threats to true happiness will see me stand firm and steadfast in defense of truth and life.
In addition, a straight couple in California cannot enter into a domestic partnership. I don't hear the gay community arguing for that allowance either. Where the line should be drawn for "equal" rights in forming marital relationships is being protested and argued. However, the gay community is merely focusing on getting only itself across the line of acceptance while leaving others behind. To me, they simply want preferential treatment. What do you think?
Remember; Romans, Chapter 1 ?.
Ellen: That's not true. I'm not sure where you are getting your information.
I am a third year law student and have studied some things (though not everything) about hate crimes. The vast majority of hate crime legislation states that hate crimes can be committed against any group by on the basis of certain characteristics (typically race, but often also includes religion, sexual orientation and gender, among others). Indeed, minorities have been prosecuted for hate crimes against other minorities, and also against whites. Further, most hate crimes are not separate crimes, but rather enhancements (that create longer sentences) for existing crimes (so a murder would have a longer sentence if committed on the basis of one of the above categories). Basically, the idea is that a hate crime is not directed simply against one person, but rather is intended to target and intimidate the victim's entire group.
And, how is equal treatment--wanting gay couples treated the same as heterosexual couples UNDER THE LAW--preferrential?
maybe you should befriend more gay people.
The same applies to abortion. First, women were allowed to abort; next, the time allowed to have an abortion was extended; now, we are talking about whether it is OK for a mother to abort a six-month old, who would otherwise be viable with the help of modern medicine...
