Is gay marriage

End sarcasm

Another point I want to make is about our precious “tax exempt status”. In all honesty the
church is more at risk of losing it for its campaigning against this law then it is if gays can marry.

From the IRS.gov (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/rr-07-41.pdf)

Currently, the law prohibits political campaign activity by charities and churches by defining a 501(c)(3) organization as one "which does not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office."

it's a political issue? So you disagree it's a moral issue?

You cannot follow simply directions, so you will get no answer to your question.

Sorry.

Sorry.

That wasn't simple enough? Click on "First" and read the FIRST post. If you would take the time, you could be the second person to actually answer the question. But that would be very non-Cougarguardish.

You liberals always want someone to hand feed you.

Yes. Last time I checked, the First Presidency are men. If it is your belief that anything written by church leaders is the same as if God wrote it himself, fine. Just don't expect the rest of the country to feel the same. God isn't very just if he punishes everyone because a few gay people are allowed to get married. I thought we were punished for our own sins, not the sins of others. If I choose to commit adultery, will you be punished for it? It is silly to believe that two men saying "I do" is going to bring down society.

Hey ExUte,

Do you think putting half of your first sentence in the subject line is ordained of God?

6. Ruin all heterosexual marriages
7. Turn 4 children gay

10. Go to bed

I forwarded this to a gay acquaintance (we were friends back in grade school, and he looked me up a few years ago and we've exchanged correspndence ever since, despite my wife's flattering suspicions he's interested in much more). Anyway, he provided me with the following critique that may prove helpful, notwithstanding his dubious conclusion that Flystripper is straight. He also included a link to the real gay agenda that, curiously, included a banner ad for Protectmarriage.com. My would-be gay paramour opposes Prop. 8, and yet he agrees that straight couples should have priority over gays in adoptive matters, and has no problem with the Church's stance on gay issues.

-This "Gay To- Do List" was obviously written by a non-gay type person. Please see added comments in bold.


1. Go shopping for some fabulous shoes [a gay man would refer to shoes as PUMPS]
2. Work out [ as this to me means "working out" time to grab a Wendy's Double, I can't answer for all of "we"]
3. Take Peanut for his weekly grooming [gay men do not name their dog in any context that might refer to genitalia size. Even a small pink Poodle would be named Killer]
4. Wash the Miata [with so much expendable income, we employ others to do mundane tasks]
5. Get Married [only if following a series of fabulous pre-nuptial brunches]
6. Ruin all heterosexual marriages [as 1/2 of these marriages end in divorce, "we" concentrate on 1/2 rather than "all"]
7. Turn 4 children gay [as of 09/14/85 the quota was reduced to 3 per day]
8. Make a dinner of spicy ginger tofu with garlic snap peas [tofu is so 2001 straight and references to "snap" are dated ]
9. Pray to Lucifer [gays refer to Satan nowadays as "Dick Cheney"]
10. Go to bed [after deciding which one of the 312 sex partners "we" have had in a 24 hour period to join in slumber]

Personally, I would offer this for The Homosexual Agenda: http://www.bettybowers.com/homoagenda.html
