Rev, I just say that Satan's out to make everyone as miserable as he is through whatever means necessary. If someone is genuinely happy having a same-sex
partner, then good on them.
Baptism for the Dead... There's a loaded topic if there ever was one, and one that I was hoping wouldn't get brought up. I feel that its something that
should be left up to the families of the departed and no further. If anything else, you could say that all it does is provide comfort for these families and
simply leave it at that.
As for the BoM... Just because you don't see any 'traces' of this 'society' doesn't mean that it existed or that it never migrated. One
of the classic examples are the lake and river named for the prophet, Lehi's two eldest sons, Lamen and Lemuel. Look it up sometime. As for the society
that existed in what became America? Well, according to the book, there was a war so great that all the followers of the faith were killed off. So where's
the remains, you ask? Heh. Funny you should ask that when you got these cultures like the Incans and the Mayans that were every bit as hethenistic and
bloodthirsty as the people that killed off everyone else in the BoM. You see, it's not the first time, nor the last, that one culture has tried to erase
another from the historical record simple because they didn't like the poor saps.
What, you mean the missionaries don't leave your house when you ask them to?
But seriously, I don't believe that we should be supporting voting blocks like that - I don't. We should beasking people to think for themselves and,
forgive me for this cliche, ask ourselves what would Jesus do.

Quote: Yet the Mormons (among other charismatic faiths) see fit to do just that. On my property. That is just impolite. So much for being nice as a group.
