No offense...

I’m sorry but the back-lash from the Mormon Church’s support of Cali’s Proposition 8 is NOT EVEN CLOSE to what blacks went through before the voting rights act. It’s not even on the same plane. To put it simply: if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen. No one barred Mormon’s from voting because of this. No one made them into second class citizens. The Church decided to get involved in a POLITICAL issue and now is whining because of what came of it…please. Welcome to the world of politics people. Not to mention the fact that religion has NO PLACE in politics and determining laws. Religious freedom does not mean that you can force through legislation that supports your beliefs. Religious freedom means that the government can’t force you to be a certain religion or throw you in jail because of your religion. Religions have every right to tell people who FOLLOW their religion how to act and live but they don’t have the right how to dictate that life to others. If ANY religion decides to take a political position (which to me should revoke their nonprofit status) then they need to be ready for the consequences of taking that position. I’m not trying to be an ass. I’m simply saying that when you get involved in politics (especially when in a completely different state) be prepared if people don’t worship the ground under your feet. If you don’t like it then stay mute on ALL politics and laws.
