This might help you understand the issue better, coming from the LDS perspective. The Family, a Proclamation to the World. http://www.lds.org/topics/family-proclamation This was published to the word in 1995, long before Prop 8 was a blip on the horizon. Here’s a snip... [Ripliancum]

Boogieman, ALL, please pay attention to this one graph in the 1995 Lds "Family Proclamation to the World" by the Mormons:

"ALL HUMAN BEINGS—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a DIVINE NATURE AND DESTINY."

Normally, we only hear this gobbly goop from the New Agers; the Hindus; and the esotericists..

That "we ourselves are the 'godself'...'divine nature'"...

"And we only need to 'realize' our divinity...as we merge with divinity."

"ALL HUMAN BEINGS—male and female...each has a DIVINE...DESTINY."

But, leave it to the Mormons to toss out their "gospel" of...
...universalism here (no hell) ["each has a divine...destiny"]
...and this "divine...destiny" = supposedly becoming gods...
...even as Mormons know damn well within their own theology...
...that (a) all never-married singles aren't eligible for either divinity OR living with Heavenly Father -- at all;
(b) the over 80% of Mormons who don't have temple recommends aren't eligible for either divinity or living with Heavenly Father --at all;
and (c) ALL NON-Mormons aren't eligible for either divinity or living with Heavenly Father -- at all.

"Divine...destiny???"

How misleadingly false even from a mere Mormon angle????

You have but one purpose only it seems, that is to smear another’s religion.

I take no joy in dialogue with such a person, I really hope you are finding some, because the nature and disposition of your posts seems void of that.

Good luck to you.
