Keeping Religious Zealots Out of Power

Glad you recognize that Rich. We're proud of it. Especially that it precludes the right to have a hand-gun in one's night table. But it does legitamatize abortion. As well, homosexuals can enjoy the same rights and freedoms as heterosexuals. Seems you guys gotalot of catching up to do, eh. :-) Warm regards, Roger

I've listened to Rob Halford sing "Diamonds and Rust" five times in a row, but I don't think I'd want to have dinner with him.

And I bet he gets real down about that too.
"All I want to do is have dinner with a sadistic, homophobic imbecile... Not too much to ask is it...?"

I guess you would loved the Star Chamber. How many accused have been acquitted by these commissions? What do you think about the attacks on McCleans, Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn. Is truth a defense (if not, I'm in trouble with supporters of Ivan Getting and Brad Parkinson).

I myself am a big fan of Queen. I think they produced incredible music. I just wouldent ever want Freddie Mercury babysitting my kids. he was a pervert. An incredibly talented pervert, but a pervert nonetheless. Same with Elton John. I've listened to Rob Halford sing "Diamonds and Rust" five times in a row, but I don't think I'd want to have dinner with him.

It's unusual to see someone so open about their own bigotry. I fear this will be one side-effect of the church's involvement in the gay marriage issue overall. Bigots will feel that their bigotry has the full sanction of their religion, and hence wallow in their bigotry in open satisfaction, rather than feel shamed into at least pretending to control it.

Hopefully, religious zealots will remain on the fringe of society. Moderate and reasonable religious men and women should take care to condemn religious fanaticism where they find it, lest such grotesque and disfigured beliefs become the norm.

Great OP KA. I agree - we all have a responsibility to make it very clear that some attitudes are unacceptable in a modern, civilised society.

Unfortunately, that very same thought is running it's way through Gaz's deranged head... He just interprets on the same level as an average Neanderthal might have done.

Gee, I'm sure Rob would be devastated! I bet he's just chomping at the bit to have dinner with a bigoted troglodyte like you.

Jesus had dinner with men considered pretty unsavory in his day. He might have even dined with a man as disgusting as you, Gaz.

Mark 2: 15, 16

15While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the "sinners" and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: "Why does he eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?"

My comments regarding Blood Atonement are solely directed to those homosexuals who have a full understanding of the gospel yet choose to maintain their sinful nature anyway.

Your bloodlust disgusts me. Gaz, you're outrageously bigoted and not very bright, which is, in my estimation, a particularly dangerous combination.

My littlest sister is a lesbian. And still on the rolls of the Mormon church. She hasn't believed for a long time, but still, she's a member of record.

She lives with her partner, whom I adore, and who is an incredibly caring and generous woman.

You advocate the murder of my little sister, Gaz.

You aren't Christlike. You are evil.

You disgust me.

Richard you are giving me the opportunity to display my ignorance and thereby the necessity of learning from you. As for accused being aquitted after DNA and further investigation I applaud that, on both sides of our border. Attacks on whatever opportune deeper digging into allegations etc, hopefully for the cause of greater justice.

As for Ezra L. & Mark S. will you please fill me in? Was it really necessary for you to ask, "Is truth a defence..."? Ivan G. & Brad P. are unknown to me. Once again, will you please fill me in?

OOOOPS! I just noticed your youtube ref. Now I know a bit more about Ezra and his dispute with the Province of Alberta and his human rights. But not a lot. The sound is not the best. However that he could question the process I think compliments Canadian Due Process.

I imagine you will agree, humanity is in the process of becoming more humane and just. We are not there. But, IMSCO we are closer--in many sociological, as well as physio--ways than we were 5c/4c/3c/2c or 100 years ago. Wouldn't you agree? Warm regards, Roger

Before I informed my parents of my unbelief I was attending their ward. On one particular Sunday the annual "Be a good citizen" lession came around in SS. I believe this is usually around the 4th of July. I have never seen this lesson not devolve into a discussion about how the constitution will have by a thread and the elders of the Mormon church will save our nation. In the past few years with the issues surrounding gay marriage coming to the fore front of the political salad, the lesson also usually addresses the wicked judges who deam the law to allow such unions to be recognized by the government. Members go on and on about how they are the best citizens of this country. All of this despite the fact that they are actually calling for a hack job on the constitution. After the closing prayer, my TBM father leans over and whispers in my ear, "The religious right is a far bigger threat to the constitution than the gays or liberals." I looked at directly at him with a "deer in the headlights" look for what seamed like a full minute. I finally replied, "Some of these folks are a little scary."

Gaz is a scary individual. Unfortunately, for him, there are still folks out that that would never allow what he is proposing to happen. If you catch my drift.

Gazelam, what's your opinion of the Taliban?

This unfortunate side effect really should be addressed by the Church.
