Apostle Orson Hyde: “I discover that some of the Eastern papers represent me as a great blasphemer, because I said, in my lecture on Marriage, at our last Conference, that JESUS CHRIST WAS MARRIED at Cana of Galilee, THAT MARY, MARTHA, AND OTHERS WERE HIS WIVES, AND THAT HE BEGAT CHILDREN. All I have to say in reply to that charge [that Jesus was married and had children] is this --- they worship a Savior that is too pure and holy to fulfil the commands of his Father. I worship one that is just pure and holy enough "to fulfil all righteousness;" not only the righteous law of baptism, but the still more righteous and important law "to multiply and replenish the earth." Startle not at this ! for even the Father himself honored that law by coming down to Mary, without a natural body, and begetting a son; and if Jesus begat children, he only "did that which he had seen his father do." (Journal of Discourses, Volume 2, page 210; brackets mine)

Given their very well documented history of both "marriage" and "Christianity", I think they should refrain from speaking out on either issue, lest they destroy the conservative causes entirely.

Yeah, that will do it. Put a gag order on all Mormon speech. How dare they exercise their first amendment rights in supporting conservative causes?

Mormons have no right to speak out against homosexual marriage, given their background.

Mormon hypocrites were scaring good conservatives away from the voting booths. "True" conservatives should be ashamed to be seen alongside Mormons, even when they agree on the issues. It's a surprise Proposition 8 even passed in California, given the heavy Mormon involvement. Didn't they know they were undermining a conservative cause?

Stay out of politics, Mormons, "lest you destroy the conservative cause entirely!"

Thank God I’m an American with the rights and obligations of an American Citizen.

No thanks to you.

I will speak out on any issue that strikes my fancy and if you don’t like it, perhaps you should find a country more to your liking.
