Once gay marriage is the law of the land, the Mormons need to demand their RIGHT to polygamy.
And the right to have child brides.
The pedophile Joseph Smith was way ahead of the curve on that one. Taking his cue from mohammad?
Yes they do, and I will support it.
>>And the right to have child brides.
One thing at a time!
I don’t support gay marriage, polygamy, or child brides. But, America is going to become a place where people will no longer feel the need to be a “cultural Christian” to fit in, so those who are not genuine followers of Christ can comfortably fall away. This may cost a lot of pastors their jobs as the churches shrink, but in the end we will be left with a clear line between the sheep and the goats. The sooner it happens, the better.
Go into the highways and byways and compel them to come in.

Why? Let them abandon their cultural Christianity in favor of the humanism they desire.
“But, America is going to become a place where people will no longer feel the need to be a “cultural Christian” to fit in,”
as it should be, in a land with Freedom of Religion.
>>as it should be, in a land with Freedom of Religion.
Freedom of Religion only applies to the government’s treatment of religion. The cultural Christian is the person who feels the need to tell his friend, “yeah, I know Jesus. But I’m spiritual and not religious so I don’t really do the bible and church thing. I find Jesus in nature more than anywhere else.”
Our society expects people to be nominally Christian if they aren’t something else. I want to free up these “spiritual” people with no Holy Spirit so they can freely commune with the trees and stop pretending to be Christian.
I don’t know that our society expects people to be Christian at all. I certainly don’t.
I’m not a religious person. I don’t assume anyone is a Christian or a Buddhist or Jewish or Muslim until they tell me they are. In my opinion, spirituality or lack of same is a private matter and really nobody’s business what I may or may not be.
>>I don’t know that our society expects people to be Christian at all.
80% of Americans feel the need to tell pollsters that they are Christian, yet only 20% attend church, read the bible, or pray regularly. These 60% feel a need (and that obviously does not include you) to profess to another human that they do follow a Jesus that they only know by name and possibly a few well-known stories. That need comes from a need to fit into what they perceive as a nominally Christian society.
One in seven does not equal 7%. 7% is more like one in fourteen.
lds have given up polygamy.
They just call it “celestial marriage”.
God: Don’t covet your neighbor’s wife
Jos. Smith: Marry everybody you can, even if they are already married.
HAVE NEVER GIVEN UP.....svcw watch the words
