I do have an answer and have articulated my reasons for not opposing gay marriage many, many times. Do a search.

Tex makes an amazing rhetorical slip in his response to you (above). Reasons go right up to the "prophet." In this thinking, the prophet is literally presented as a "reason."

I did, but personally I think that while you are very intelligent, you are also ridiculous and annoying. You are evasive and rarely directly answer questions, so I have decided to simply respond to you in kind, if at all.

Listen, Triplet, if you want to discuss my personal reasons for opposing gay marraige, we can certainly do so. I've done it several times before.

What I'm getting at is ... your position makes no sense to me. Perhaps you can clarify. Cali, in admitting he doesn't know the reason, at least suggests that he thinks Monson has one, however poorly articulated. You, on the other hand, think that he doesn't.

So again I ask ... if no one from the primary teacher up to the prophet has a "coherent reason" for opposing this, why are we doing it?

Tex- I think you are asking the same question DDD is asking. Why are we doing this? I don't know the reason, I don't think you know the reason, and neither does DDD. So good question- why are we doing this as a church? If you had an answer, you may want to share it with church PR.

Just once I'd like to hear, from the pulpit at GC, that it's the fathers fault for not pushing them enough to play sports. Just once!

DDD didn't just say "I don't know the reason" ... he said he doesn't think the prophet has one. That's a quite different position, and one he apparently feels disinclined to defend.
