Don't you people have something better to do with your lives? This post is about supporting the effort to ban same sex marriages, something you support. And yet you apparently feel the need to ridicule and slander the messenger (the church) instead of accepting the help. Here on FR, there are an unfortunate cadre of posters who, when they see the word "Mormon" posted (regardless of context), react to the word like Pavlovian dogs, drooling at the opportunity to say something awful, and usually quite ignorant, about the LDS church.

We are now and will always be staunch defenders of the God sent institution of marriage. You don't want our help? Tough. This is something we believe in and neither you nor the Godless bigots who are pushing same sex marriage will stop us from exercising our constitutional and moral rights. You want to vent your views on the church? Go start another thread and "educate" us as to what a bunch of poo-poo heads those darned Mormons are. Otherwise, get a life.

"We are now and will always be staunch defenders of the God sent institution of marriage."

Which God sent institution of marriage are you referring to?

The one taught early on in the D&Cs?

Somehow I doubt it....

Never fear, all is well in Zion...

I live in Utah. I am Catholic. And I will back what you say about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' attitude towards marriage, as opposed to other groups that split off.

If people want to know what a church believes, they need to read the documents and articles that members of that church write, rather than what outsiders write about them.

If you want to get an impression of how Mormons see themselves, and you don't want to read religious works, I suggest a good place to start isreading Orson Scott Card's the Lost Boys - a novel (sort of a horror story) about an LDS family written by an LDS believer.

I am not a Morman, nor will I ever be one, but I applaud your Church for their stand on these issues, and I can assure you, most of us welcome your help! Great post btw!!!
